Tung Oil

Tung Oil sold by Real Milk Paint is an all natural oil pressed from the seeds and nuts of the Tung Tree, and has many uses in its natural state. Also referred to as Chinawood Oil, this highly sought after Chinese Tung Oil is shipped directly from China to Real Milk Paint, and then to you. No petroleum distillates were used in the processing and extracting of the Tung Oil making it 100% natural and ASTM quality tested to be a nice light color and a high amount of reactive sites allowing it to dry quickly. The freshest and highest in quality Tung Oil is the only Tung Oil that Real Milk Paint even does business with. Low quality Tung Oil shouldn't be on the market. Most Tung Oil that you can buy at other furniture stores is either a thinned out varnish, or a polymerized Tung Oil which means that is have been through a process where additives have contaminated the Tung Oil.

This causes it to dry with a glossy finish, instead of penetrating deep into the wood and making it naturally water resistant, which is what the Tung Oil sold by Real Milk Paint will do, as it is 100% pure Tung Oil. This makes Tung Oil perfect for any wood surface that may come into contact with liquids, such as wood bowls, wooden cutting boards and counter tops, deck railing, various sidings, and many other uses. Basically anything that you could varnish, you could use Tung Oil instead, which would be doing you, your family, and the environment a favor. Because a healthy and toxin free climate, air, water and growing medium is needed for a clean and beautiful Tung Oil, Real Milk Paint's Tung Oil comes from Tung trees in the mountain ranges of China.

There is an important thing to learn about the differences in Chinawood Oils and Tung Oil sold as Chinese Tung Oil, but it is actually from South America and is more dark green in color. This is being done by marketers who are trying to sell cheap product and high quality product, and thusly these people should not obtain the business of anybody. Chinese Tung Oil is the only Tung Oil you should use, unless you want to use a cheaper and lesser quality oil on your antique furniture. Companies trying to sell lesser quality Tung Oil as high quality Chinese Tung Oil usually package their oil in a white or colored container with a pretty Asian looking picture on the bottle. Real Milk Paint only sells their Tung Oil in clear containers so you can see the highest grade yellow honey color of their Tung Oil. Real Milk Paint also sells dark Raw Tung Oil, which can be a very beautiful finish on lighter woods, if a darker finish is what you are looking for. Just as high in quality, it just has not been filtered or purified in any way to keep its all natural dark color. This raw Tung Oil is a beautiful product, and should be a nice addition to a bottle of Pure Tung Oil as well, for different woods and uses.
