The product group of water-based oils, such as our new OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »For Furniturer«, is becoming increasingly popular - and rightly so: They are completely VOC-free, offer excellent environmental compatibility, are not prone to spontaneous combustion, have a low odor, and above all: They create the popular raw wood effect or natural wood effect on wood without emphasizing the pores. The wood's natural color is barely enhanced. The wood surface looks as though 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 an aqueous emulsion based on natural oils with a small proportion of white pigments. Here, the natural oils are “dissolved” in water - the 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 amazingly natural - almost like freshly sanded wood. This raw wood effect appeals visually and tactilely to many design-oriented people.
The viscosity of OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »For Furniture« is ideally formulated for brush application on stairs and wooden furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, or cabinets.. The raw wood effect oil has good hold on vertical surfaces and can also be applied with a hand spray gun. This variant is particularly recommended for all professional and private woodworkers.
Not Just for Professionals
The new OLI-NATURA Scandic Oil »For Furniture« 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 retains 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. The first coat of oil is intermediately sanded with P220 grit after approximately two hours 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 on 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 and apply more oil. Any difference in color will even out over time.
