The origin of our name, Waterlox, stands for "locks out
water.” Therefore, we think our Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes are
the perfect solution for any and all wood finishing project(s). When you
add to that your plans to finish a known water-related area like a
bathroom, kitchen, counter top or table top, we think Waterlox should be
the only finishing choice since no other clear finishes or surface
finishes available on the market today have our superior waterproofing
properties. Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes are water resistant,
stand up to household spills and are non-toxic1 and food-safe
when dry. Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes have good heat
resistance, can be used around stoves and are unaffected by boiling
water and liquids.2
Please review our countertop finishing guide for more information.
1Tung oil is non-toxic and food-safe,
although, Tung oil is pressed from the nut of the Tung tree which would
be considered a tree nut oil. If you or someone who will be living with
the finish has a tree nut allergy, consider whether or not this is a
factor in finishing your wood project.
2 Waterlox has good heat resistance;
however, avoid placing hot pots or pans directly onto the finish. Always
use a potholder, trivet or some other type of insulating material under
hot utensils and pots and pans.
