Waterlox is water resistant and will not water spot like linseed oil, nor will it yellow like pure linseed or linseed oil modified coatings (e.g.: oil-modified urethanes). Waterlox provides deeper penetration to seal wood fibers beneath the surface because the molecules are smaller. Linseed oil also contains linoleic and linolenic acids, which cause it to yellow over time. Because of this it requires frequent and time-consuming reapplication, will water spot and is usually not recommended for working surfaces such as floors or counter tops or for use in water-sensitive areas. Linseed oil molecules are also larger than Tung oil and will therefore have limited penetrating ability. While linseed oil will penetrate into the pores of the wood, it will not really protect the wood substrate and will remain tacky like fly paper until dry.

Linseed oil is a drying oil pressed from the flax seed.

Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes are also water and chemical resistant (alcohol and alkali). While Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes contain a superior drying oil, namely Tung Oil, they are fully cooked varnishes, which dry quicker and form permanent films tough enough to walk on and take daily abuse. Because of this they require frequent and time-consuming reapplication, will water spot and are usually not recommended for working surfaces such as floors or counter tops or for use in water-sensitive areas. Finishes in this category are not difficult to apply, but they offer little or no protection to the wood substrate and can remain tacky like fly paper until dry.

Raw oils or “Danish” oils penetrate into the wood pores but do not really protect the wood.

Waterlox forms a protective finish that won't chip, crack or wrinkle. Waterlox never requires sanding for adhesion and touch-ups can be done at any time without sanding. Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes are penetrating oil finishes and as such enhance the wood with a natural oiled look and feel.

Since this finish is a surface film, when the film is breached, it offers no protection at all.

They are often difficult to apply and are often recommend for professional use only. Wear and scratches will also be more noticeable because they will scratch white. Because they are mainly comprised of acrylic and urethane, they don’t bring out the natural patina of the wood.

Like their oil-modified counterparts, traditional water based urethanes sit on top of the wood surface.The following describes how Waterlox compares to other finishes.If a client is tough on their floors with exposure to dogs, kids, dirt and grit, or just lots of traffic, a Waterlox floor will typically give a longer life before recoat is desired, compared to most polyurethanes. Because Waterlox cures within the wood, there is not a surface buildup, so the Waterlox surface is less prone to show scratches compared to any conventional oil or water-based polyurethane floor finish.Waterlox gives hardwood floors a hand rubbed look that is both durable and elegant. It does not form a “plastic” layer like water-based or oil-based polyurethanes. When we try to describe Waterlox to clients, we do our best to convey the unique appearance of this finish.
