Natural Pure Tung Oil for Wood, Furniture & Craft Protection
Pure Tung Oil is a natural drying oil used to protect and finish wood surfaces while enhancing the grain with a warm, matte sheen. Ideal for furniture, chopping boards, wooden utensils, and even craft applications, this oil offers a food safe, water resistant seal when fully cured. It’s a great choice for those looking for a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic finishes in Sri Lanka.
Extracted from the seeds of the tung tree, this oil penetrates deep into wood fibers, curing to a flexible, non yellowing finish that resists water and alcohol. Unlike boiled linseed oil, pure tung oil contains no chemical additives, making it suitable for food contact surfaces and natural finishes.
