Tung oil

Tung oil (CAS 8001-20-5 ), also traded as China wood oil, is a fast-drying, highly cross-linkable drying oil pressed from the seeds of the Vernicia fordii tree. It polymerizes on exposure to air to form a hard, water-resistant film. This unique chemical property makes it a preferred binder and curing agent across protective coating and industrial finishing systems. In architectural and industrial coatings, it functions as a film-forming binder that delivers moisture resistance. It provides exceptional surface hardness in wood finishes, deck sealers, and marine varnishes. Adhesive and sealant formulators incorporate it as a reactive component to improve flexibility and bonding durability in oil-based systems. In printing inks, particularly lithographic and letterpress formulations, it controls rheology and sets speed. It also contributes significantly to rub resistance on the final print, ensuring a high-quality and durable finish for various substrates. Rubber compounders use this oil as a processing and surface modification agent to improve compatibility. It enhances finished surface characteristics and is supplied as an amber-colored liquid in drum and IBC quantities for industrial use. Bulk tanker options are available for high-volume buyers requiring consistent supply chains. Standard commercial grades include raw and heat-bodied variants, which are differentiated by their specific viscosity and drying performance during application. Technical-grade is the predominant specification in industrial markets, though refined grades are available for specialty coating applications. Our product meets rigorous industrial benchmarks to ensure performance consistency across all manufacturing batches. Contact us for supply of Tung oil Request Quote
