WOCA Oil System Oil finishing of wood surfaces
This article was produced by Wood Care Denmark the leaders in finishes for for floors and very inviromentally freindly
What is actually the purpose of oiling wood surfaces?
It means that the wood is impregnated with oil as deep inside the grain as possible without
leaving a visual coat of oil on the surface – altough the surface should look oiled and not dry or grey. So the saturation of the wood is of very high importance in this connection.
The WOCA oil finishing systems ensure a deep impregnation of the wood. We operate with two
categories of oils: traditional oxidising oils and uv-curing oils.
Traditional, Oxidising Oils
Application of the oil may be made with roller coaterson oiling line or with spraying guns. When the oil has been absorbed by the wood, the surface is polished with brushes or scotch brite. Depending on the type of oil applied and drying possibilities, the oil is surface dry in 3-6 minutes or 60-90 minutes. This traditional oil finishing system ensures a flexible and hard-wearing surface, which is easy to maintain and repair.
Master Oil – 10 colours
Master Oil is based on a combination of vegetable oil components especially developed for production of hard-wearing surfaces. The oil has a solid matter content of approx. 60 per cent. It easily penetrates the grain of the wood ensuring a deep impregnation of the wood grain.
Master Oil may be applied with semi-hard roller coaters in connection with industrial finishing of
floors on oiling or lacquering line. It may also be sprayed on line. Manual application is also possible. It requires polishing on line with brushes or scotch brite roller.
It requires approx. between 90 to 120 minutes for drying in a chamber dryer. If applied manually, drying may be made on shelves over night. The surface is pre-hardened in approx. 4 hours.
Product information sheet is available.
High Solid Master Oil – 10 colours
The properties of this product are the same as above under Master Oil. However, one important
feature of this oil is the reduced quantity of solvent. High Solid Master Oil has less than 9 per
cent of solvent. Also the drying is improved and is somewhat quicker than the normal Master Oil.
Product information sheet is available.
Industrial Oil – 10 colours
Industrial Oil is based on a combination of vegetable oil components especially developed for production of hard-wearing wood floors. The oil has a solid matter content of approx. 50 per cent. It easily penetrates the grain of the wood ensuring a deep
impregnation of the wood grain. Industrial Oil is for industrial finishing only. It is applied with semi-hard roller coaters. Normally 2-3 coats of industrial oil are applied. It requires
brushing preferably before drying tunnel and buffing with scotch brite rollers before packing. May also be sprayed on line. It requires approx. 3-6 minutes of drying time in tunnel at a maximum
