TUNG OIL (CHINA WOOD OIL) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Tung oil, also known as China wood oil, is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of the tung tree (Aleurites fordii). It is used primarily as a drying oil in the production of paints, varnishes, and wood finishes, providing a hard, water-resistant coating. Tung oil is also employed in various industrial and commercial applications, including the production of linoleum, printing inks, and sealants. Proper handling and storage of tung oil are essential to maintain its quality and prevent oxidation, as exposure to air can cause it to thicken and become unusable. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with tung oil. Its effectiveness as a drying oil and its unique properties make tung oil a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and commercial applications, contributing to the protection and preservation of various materials and surfaces.
