Borma oil is characterized by high quality, naturalness and long service life. It is recognized as one of the best wood products on the market. Borma Wachs has been developing and manufacturing wood materials for many years. She positions herself as a serious European manufacturer of chemicals and oils.
Oil classification
Compared to other impregnations, Borma oil is largely focused on decorative properties, and not on building use. For this reason, the product is characterized by the following factors:
- The classic method of painting.
- The formation of protective hard coatings with increased resistance - steps, parquet, wooden stairs and so on.
- Different types of protective and decorative processing of wood carvings and furniture.
- Protective processing of kitchen accessories, even those in contact with food.
- Antiseptic processing of log cabins.
- Restoration of decoration elements for yachts, boats and wooden houses.
It is worth noting that the company "Borma Vash" is the manufacturer whose products contain products for kitchen boards and countertops that can be used for cooking. Another hallmark of the oils of this brand is the huge number of compounds that create abrasion resistant coatings.
Colored oil
This terrace oil is based on natural modified products. It is characterized by excellent penetrating ability, and thanks to a specially selected viscosity, the agent penetrates the tree and protects it from the inside. High solids form a durable and breathable coating. The oil will not peel off and the coating will wear evenly. The manufacturer offers 12 shades and the composition is applied without spots and evenly.
Danish oil
The Danish Borma oil has found its application in the decoration of bridges, flooring, stairs, decking, wooden floors, decks and terraces. The tool makes it possible to obtain a matte silky finish with impeccable depth and transparency. It is characterized by excellent weather resistance and hardness. Products are odorless and colorless. It contains ultraviolet filters and antiseptic additives. The product is suitable for application by roller, brush or spray method.
Thermo Wood Oil
This Borma oil is designed for thermal wood, which is characterized by high density. Because of this property, it cannot be processed with standard materials, because there will be problems with adhesion. The oil is created with high penetration, so it fits perfectly even in dense surfaces with a minimum of pores. It is enriched with antiseptic additives and ultraviolet filters. The tool can create a wear-resistant, durable coating. It has 4 basic shades, and experts recommend applying at least two layers.
Technologists give some tips for use:
- When applying the first layer, you should make sure that the material is pretty well absorbed into the surface. For this purpose, it is recommended to apply the oil liberally with a wet layer, helping to soak into the pores with a brush or roller. When the product is applied with a dry layer, for example, when spraying with an excessively large air supply, the oil dries before it is absorbed. This will lead to peeling problems.
- To obtain a coating with a high film depth and for additional protection, it is recommended to treat the surface with Danish oil in 1-2 layers after thermal oil.
For baths and saunas
Borma Wachs oil is intended for the treatment of wooden benches, shelves and walls in saunas and baths. It does not have synthetic additives in its composition and gives the tree water-repellent properties. The product is completely absorbed into the surface without creating a film, so the wood looks like unpainted. It impregnates the material deeply, does not stick, does not stain and does not crack under the influence of high temperatures. Oil prevents the wood from darkening and protects it from dirt. The material retains its natural shade, it is easy to keep clean, because it is easy to care for.
Teak oil
Such a product from Borma Wachs is used for small architectural forms and furniture for the garden. It is a completely ready-to-use product that is suitable for any wooden surface. They can handle the internal and external surfaces of the room. Teak oil makes the wood water repellent and gives it the natural effect of unfinished wood. The processing method is dipping.
This colorless product has the following qualities:
- protection of a tree from insects, fungi and atmospheric influences;
- emphasizing the natural shade;
- giving natural beauty.
Tung oil
Tung oil for wood is suitable for protecting wood from weathering. This 100% natural remedy is obtained by squeezing the fruits of a tung tree. It gives the products excellent moisture resistance and hardness. Over time, they will not darken, as, for example, after coating oil from flax. The oil has a light golden color.
For outdoor work
This tree oil is intended for garden furniture and products. It is suitable only for outdoor work and creates the effect of natural wood. It contains natural ultraviolet filters and antiseptics. The universal product is resistant to exfoliation and does not incorporate organic volatile substances.
Tool Properties
Borma tree oil is classified into two large groups:
- Modified funds.
- VOC-Free series with a complete absence of harmful fumes during the operation of the treated premises.
The modified series includes products that are created with the addition of alkyd resins and certain solvents. Typically, additives enhance penetration and high polymerization rate. This group includes teak and Danish oil.
The VOC-Free series is completely free of artificial components, so the manufacturer is positioning it as an environmentally friendly solution for interior decoration. Often, funds are used in the arrangement of saunas and baths. This is tung oil and Eco Premium Exterior Wood Oil, which is an exclusive brand development. VOC is an abbreviation that translates as "organic volatiles." Thus, in the production of products of this category are not used components that can evaporate after creating a coating. But there is also a not very pleasant moment - oils have a short term of non-repairable operation of coatings. According to the instructions, it is only one year.
Flammability
An important factor is the combustibility of any material. Solvent oils are much more dangerous than natural oils. However, oiled products in any case must be disposed of, observing measures of increased fire control. In this case, the room that is being processed must be equipped with good productive ventilation.
Drying time
Since the basis of Borm oil and wax is in most cases flaxseed, the drying process completely depends on the pre-treatment and the amount of additional components that increase the polymerization rate. Exact indicators are prescribed for each oil, but general information shows that the modified composition will dry faster than 100% natural. The maximum drying time between the first and second layer is one day.
Consumption
Three factors influence the level of Borma oil consumption:
- application method;
- density of the processed wood;
- degree of solids in the impregnating mixture.
When applying the optimal application methods, the average oil consumption is 1-50 m2 per 20-50 grams. Thus, for impregnation of 50 m 2 in one layer of the prepared surface, only 1 liter of product is required. It turns out that Borma Vash oil outperforms standard coatings, since twice as much paint means will need to be used to paint an equivalent surface area, for example, alkyd paint.
Storage
The main feature of protective oils is the ability to polymerize when reacted with oxygen and ultraviolet. It is this property that allows it to be used with wood. It happens that the oil is opened for testing, and then left without tightly closing the lid. Then, when it is required, its consistency becomes different and has already other qualities. Experts strongly recommend storing open impregnating oil in an opaque container with a tight-fitting lid. The volume of the container must be such that the air gap is small.
