Water varnish and wood wax oil: How to choose varnish and wood wax oil? The old carpenter said it was leaking!

Varnish and wood wax oil is a commonly used paint in modern home furnishings, because they are a transparent paint, wood wax oil and varnish paint painted on the wood surface to make the texture of the wood more clear and natural, both of which are decoration paint, in the decorative performance of the same.
one is to act on the surface for protection, the other is to act on the inside of the object, to protect.
are the differences between these two different coatings?
varnish
also known as Van Lishui, is composed of resin as the main film-forming substance in addition to

. The main components are resins and solvents or resins, oils and solvents. Solvents will contain a certain amount of harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, benzene, etc. Since both the coating and the coating are transparent, the original texture of the surface is revealed when the coating is applied.
the varnish is painted, a paint film is formed on the wooden surface, thus isolating the water from the air and having a certain degree of resistance, but because of its own hardness is not high, easy to scratch.
heat resistance is poor, long-term exposure to sunlight, there will be paint yellowing situation.
furniture to paint, because the process is more cumbersome, need to go through the clean-polish-paint-clean-polish-paint, so repeated process. Generally 4 to 8 times for high-quality effects, but the total number does not exceed 10 times. Therefore, when the paint surface appears to fade, wear, need to be removed by professional personnel of the original paint film, repainted.
wax oil
a kind of natural wood paint similar to paint and different from paint, the main components are flaxseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, Brazilian palm oil and so on. The principle of action is equivalent to the improvement of the traditional combination of oil and beeswax.
the oil can penetrate the wood interior, maintain the wood, revealing the natural texture and texture of the wood. Wax composition and wood fibers firmly combined, can effectively let moisture seep in, in the wood surface of the original fiber fine seams at the same time, the formation of a protective layer.
wax oil has no difference between primer and finish paint, as long as the surface of the wood wipe clean, use a brush for brushing, drying with a cloth polishing can be, no construction difficulty. The characteristics of wood wax oil itself make it healthy and environmentally friendly.
but also because of its characteristics, so that it is only applicable to solid wood, for the current furniture market a large number of density plates, plates and so on, wood wax oil can not play its effect.
the difference between wood wax oil and varnish?
Varnish is colorless, it belongs to petrochemical paints, using chemical synthetic resins and benzene and other toxic solvents; Wood wax oil can be brushed directly on anti-corrosion wood.
natural wood oil and wood wax oil deeply seeped into the internal cells of the embalmed wood, the material of the wood soaked, so that the wood can still breathe freely. It prevents wood from cracking and maintains its elasticity and health.
wood oil, wood wax oil is a natural plant wood coating, is based on natural vegetable oil, vegetable wax as the base material.
the current outdoor weatherproof wood paint, transparent can also, color can also be, its outdoor weather resistance is good, anti-corrosion wood oil price is reasonable. Outdoor weather-resistant paint and indoor paint is not the same, outdoor weather-resistant paint is the main consideration is weather resistance.
good at wood wax oil and varnish?
Many people choose varnish a major focus is that it can cover the defects of wood, or nail marks, brush after the thickness, can be the original texture of wood amplification, appear more real, gloss is also very good, after brushing will form a paint film to protect the surface, but also because of this, paint film isolated wood and air, moisture contact, resulting in wood can not breathe, a long time will have the possibility of cracking.
Wood wax oil in the ugliness of this point can not achieve the effect of varnish, but will enlarge the wood defects, it brushed after no sense of thickness, but it can go deep inside the wood, so that the wood can breathe, maintain the elasticity of the wood
, will not form a paint film on the surface of the wood, so it is not easy to crack or fall off.
Wood wax oil has a great advantage, it can buy home to do their own, do not need any professional technology, generally coated once or twice on it, and furniture surface does not need to bottom in advance, just use a clean cloth polished to smooth, clean without dust on it.
Brush when keeping the indoor ventilation volume is good, the surface dry words 4 to 6 hours, really dry words 20 to 24 hours;
Varnish construction, they are no way to do, (unless they are professionals) the overall brushing needs 4 to 8 times, not more than 10 times, each brush needs to take fine sandpaper polishing, the process is also complex, the construction environment also has a certain standard, the temperature to be more than 5 degrees Celsius, dry climate, the purpose is to ensure the paint film dry solid molding and its final quality.
finally suggested:
if more concerned about environmental protection, wood wax oil will be better, not to say varnish is not environmentally friendly, relatively speaking. In addition, if the concern is practicality, durability, solid wood cracking.
, varnishes are better if the wood is water-containing in the same environment. The varnish is closed and protected by the surface paint film.
wood wax oil is not. In addition, solid wood furniture will have the possibility of cracking, which is also the characteristics of solid wood furniture, no matter what craft, are to minimize this possibility, but can not be completely 100% avoided. Furniture surface in the end coated with wood wax oil or varnish good, old carpentry experience understand?
