What is the difference between wood wax oil and varnish on the surface of the object? They can clearly show the beautiful texture of the object, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the decorative effect alone. The solid wood wax oil and varnish differ greatly in terms of composition and environmental requirements, especially in environmental performance.
1. The main ingredients are different
1. Wood wax oil is also called vegetable oil wax paint. As the name implies, it is made from natural vegetable oil and vegetable wax. These raw materials are mainly derived from refined linseed oil, sunflower oil and palm wax. Even for non-ferrous wood wax oil, the quality standard of the color paste used has reached food grade. Wood wax oil has natural ingredients and does not contain toxic ingredients such as formaldehyde, benzene and heavy metals.
2. The reason why varnish can show clear texture after application is because the composition does not contain pigments, but the main film-forming substances of varnish and paint contain resin. Resin is a macromolecular compound and a raw material for plastic products. It is a toxic material. In general, varnish is still a petrochemical paint.
Two, the principle of action is different
1. The main components of wood wax oil are natural vegetable wax and vegetable oil, both of which can exert different effects on the interior and surface of woodware: vegetable oil can penetrate into the deep skin of woodware and give deep nourishment to wood; while vegetable wax can interact with woodware. The wood fibers on the surface are tightly combined and strongly adhere to the surface of the wood. The wax layer formed can form a waterproof, wear-resistant, and stain-resistant protective effect on the surface. The internal and external combination of wax and oil achieves internal moisturization and external beautification at one-time Effect;
2. After the varnish is applied and dried, a smooth, transparent but airtight film will be formed on the surface of the object, which will isolate the surface of the object from air and moisture. But the main film-forming material of varnish is resin, which cannot penetrate into the interior through the fine "pores" of wood like vegetable oil. From these two points, wood wax oil is the internal and external care of objects, which is a permanent cure; varnish is mainly a temporary cure.
3. Different painting environment requirements
1. Wood wax oil can penetrate into the wood to ensure the air permeability of the wood, and the moisture of the wood itself can be emitted. Therefore, woodware coated with wood wax oil can adapt to various environments and conditions such as indoor and outdoor, humid, dry, high and low temperature;
2. On the surface of the varnished object, due to the coverage of the paint film, although the outside air moisture cannot penetrate into the object, the moisture of the object itself cannot be emitted, so the construction environment of the varnish is more demanding and cannot adapt to the humid environment.
Four, the use effect is different
1. Wood wax oil has three effects on the painted object: firstly, it maintains air permeability, allows the wood to breathe naturally, and ensures the elasticity of the wood without cracking or warping; secondly, the vegetable wax and wood fiber are closely combined. The surface hardness of the wood is enhanced; it shows the natural texture and texture of the wood;
2. After the varnish is applied, a transparent paint film is formed, which can also show the natural and beautiful texture of the wood surface; the paint film isolates the object from the outside air and moisture to achieve the purpose of moisture-proof and waterproof.
Five, environmental protection is different
Wood wax oil does not contain chemical components from raw materials to toning, while the main film-forming material resin of varnish itself contains toxic substances such as benzene and formaldehyde, which will have a pungent odor. So in terms of environmental protection, wood wax oil has more advantages.
