Uses/Applications

Wood Finishes and Coatings
Tung Oil is highly valued as a wood finish and coating due to its ability to enhance the natural beauty of wood while providing protection against moisture, scratches, and wear. It penetrates deeply into the wood fibers, forming a hard, waterproof finish that accentuates the grain and color of the wood. Tung Oil-based finishes are commonly used for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and musical instruments.

Waterproofing
Tung Oil’s natural water resistance makes it suitable for waterproofing applications. It is used to seal and protect outdoor wooden surfaces such as decks, fences, and outdoor furniture from moisture damage, rot, and decay. Tung Oil-based waterproofing products provide long-lasting protection against the elements, UV radiation, and fungal growth.

Printing Inks
Tung Oil is utilized as a binder and vehicle in the formulation of oil-based printing inks. It imparts viscosity, tackiness, and drying properties to the ink, allowing for smooth and consistent printing on various substrates such as paper, cardboard, and textiles. Such printing inks are used in offset printing, letterpress printing, and screen printing applications.

Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids
Tung Oil is used as a component in the formulation of lubricants and metalworking fluids due to its high viscosity, thermal stability, and lubricating properties. It is employed as a cutting oil, mold release agent, and boundary lubricant in metal forming, machining, and die casting operations. Tung Oil-based lubricants provide effective lubrication and corrosion protection for metal surfaces.

Leather Treatments
Tung Oil is applied to leather products such as shoes, belts, and saddles to condition, soften, and waterproof the leather. It penetrates deep into the leather fibers, nourishing and revitalizing the material while forming a protective barrier against moisture and stains. Tung Oil-based leather treatments restore suppleness and luster to leather goods, prolonging their lifespan.

Sealants and Adhesives
Tung Oil is employed in the production of sealants and adhesives for construction, automotive, and marine applications. It acts as a binder, filler, and waterproofing agent in sealant formulations, providing strong adhesion and weather resistance. Tung Oil-based sealants and adhesives are used for caulking, gap filling, and bonding of various materials such as wood, metal, concrete, and glass.
