Oil-water emulsion for the raw wood effect

The product group of water-based oils, such as our new OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »For Furniture« is becoming increasingly popular - and rightly so: They are completely VOC-free, have excellent environmental compatibility, do not tend to self-ignite, have low odor, and above all: They bring the trendy raw wood effect or natural wood effect to the wood without emphasizing the pores. The wood's natural color is barely enhanced. The wood surface looks as if it were made of raw wood. Nevertheless, the wood is protected – virtually invisibly.

More Than Just Water

Our OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »For Furniturer« is a water-based emulsion based on natural oils with a low proportion of white pigments. Here, the natural oils are “dissolved” in water – water therefore serves as the “solvent.” This innovative combination prevents the wood from being enhanced and creates the popular raw wood effect. It is particularly recommended for light-colored wood species such as oak, ash, birch, pine, and fir. The oiled surface looks remarkably natural - almost like freshly sanded wood. This raw wood effect appeals to the visual and tactile preferences of many design-oriented people. 

The viscosity of OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »For Furniture« is ideally suited for brush application on stairs and wooden furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, or cabinets.. The raw wood effect oil has good staying power on vertical surfaces and can also be applied with a handheld spray gun. This variant is particularly recommended for all professional and private woodworkers. 

 

Not Just for Professionals

The new OLI-NATURA Scandic Oil »For Furniturer« is easy to apply and can be used in living areas on finely sanded, clean wood surfaces. With just two coats, you achieve a durable surface protection that preserves the wood's original color. The oil is applied generously with a brush at approximately 40–60 g/m² per coat to the wood surface. After approximately two hours, the first coat of oil is sanded with P220 grit and thoroughly dusted. The second coat is then massaged into the wood by hand or with a polishing machine using a beige pad until the surface appears dry to the touch. Depending on humidity and temperature, the surface is dust-dry after one hour, can be walked on carefully after two hours, and is fully cured after three to five days.

In General

The absorbency of the substrate depends on the type and condition of the wood, the user's working method, and the sanding process. At the same time, the protective effect must occasionally be refreshed with OLI-NATURA Wood Refresher . Surface scratches or damage to an oiled wood surface do not expose unprotected wood, as the oil protects the wood from within. Fine blemishes or scratches can therefore also be repaired easily: simply sand the affected areas lightly and re-oil them. Any difference in color will even out over time.
