Understanding what goes into Pure Tung Oil is important if you’re looking for a natural, safe finish for your wood projects. This guide explains the composition of Pure Tung Oil and how it differs from other products.
Composition of Pure Tung Oil
Single Ingredient Formula
Pure Tung Oil from RMP Finishes is made entirely from pressed tung tree seeds.
- There are no additives, solvents, or chemical processing used.
- This ensures a 100% natural oil finish that penetrates wood and cures through oxidation.
ASTM-Tested for Safety and Quality
The oil is tested to meet standard safety and quality benchmarks.
Key Characteristics from Ingredients
- Natural Hardening
The tung oil hardens within the wood via oxidation, forming a durable, flexible layer.
Deep Penetration
Being a pure oil, it penetrates porous surfaces to enhance wood color and highlight grain patterns.
Water-Resistant Finish
Once fully cured, it creates a matte, water-resistant surface without forming a film on top.
Food-Safe When Cured
- The absence of additives makes it safe for kitchen surfaces like cutting boards and countertops once fully cured.
