Saflor interior wood wax Kreidezeit

Natural wood wax - Saflor wood wax for interior wood from Kreidezeit. Wax has the advantage that it does not yellow over time and is totally natural, so it can be used without any problems to finish children's furniture and even toys.

Not everything sold as wax is natural wax

Furniture wax in DIY stores are generally mixtures of natural and artificial waxes dissolved in solvent. In the past, beeswax was used. Now wax as such is rarely used. Artificial waxes are mixtures of paraffin waxes resulting from the distillation of petroleum. They can be in solid form - more difficult to apply, sometimes requiring special application methods - or in paste form, in which case application is much simpler.

These materials can be used to finish wood and furniture but cannot be considered natural products. If the requirement is to finish children's furniture or toys, their use is not recommended and some are not even accepted by European standards.

What is Saflor wax or safflower wax

Kreidezezeit Saflor beeswax is made from beeswax bleached with chlorine-free substances. However, the wax is not chemically treated, but bleached with natural products as in the past. Finally, the basicity is neutralized to obtain a non-aggressive product.

It is a natural wood wax of outstanding quality that is simple and easy to apply. No disturbing odors are emitted during application, drying or use of finished objects. The wax is transparent and preserves the color, texture and natural beauty of wood.

One of the most important properties of Saflor wax is that it does not turn yellow over time. The natural waxes used are usually mixtures of beeswax and linseed oil. It is the oil that turns yellow over time. Saflor wax is produced without linseed oil, containing safflower oil instead, which is more stable over time.

The main properties of Saflor wax are:

Full composition of the product Safflower or safflower wax: safflower oil, resistant tung oil, chlorine-free bleached beeswax, dried substances free of heavy metals (lead).

Application

Wax can be applied to all wood surfaces that are used indoors. It can be applied directly to untreated wood or to surfaces to which natural oils have been applied. It can also be used to protect lacquered furniture. Especially recommended for furniture, toys and paneling.

Saflor wax is applied undiluted, with a special wax brush (round brush with stiffer bristles), a brush or a rag. It is very important that the wax is applied with repeated strokes, initially in a circular motion and finally along the grain, in order to penetrate the wood very well.

After application, leave for 30 minutes, even an hour, to allow the wood to absorb the wax as well as possible, then wipe off the excess before drying. Wiping is done with a dry cotton cloth.

It is necessary that, after use, used cloths soaked in oil or wax and other tools used should be washed with soap and water and air-dried. If they are not washed, they should be placed in a closed container or in containers over which water is poured, as they present a danger of self-ignition due to the content of ethereal oils. The phenomenon is called auto-combustion, which is specific to all waxes and oils.

If you have any waxing to do in the near future, don't miss out. Good luck and good luck!
