Kreidezeit oils and waxes, natural protection for wood

An important category of Kreidezeit products are natural oils and waxes, which are specially designed to protect and maintain wood. These products are ideal for wooden surfaces, be it floors, furniture or decorative elements, offering excellent protection and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

The oils are made from natural raw materials such as linseed oil, tung oil and soybean oil and are perfect for impregnating wood and protecting surfaces. These oils penetrate deep into the wood fiber, nourishing and protecting it against moisture and wear without forming a hard film on the surface. Natural oils are recognized for allowing the wood to vary in size as the humidity in the environment changes, while retaining its natural appearance and authentic texture.

The waxes are made from beeswax and carnauba wax and are completely natural and harmless to health. They are used to give wood a delicate sheen and protect it against dirt and moisture. Kreidezeit waxes are ideal for interior surfaces, as they do not emit toxic substances and do not affect the air quality in the home.

By using Kreidezeit oils and waxes, the wood retains its natural beauty and is protected in a sustainable way without the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals.

Oil-based varnishes - natural and durable protection for exterior wood

Treating exterior wood with oil is an ancient practice, widespread throughout the world. Depending on the most readily available sources, linseed oil, tung oil and, where possible, a mixture of the two. The latter has proved over time to be the winner as it perfectly combines the advantages of both types of oil. Kreidezeit uses this combination of oils, along with other natural ingredients, for its long-lasting protective exterior finishing products.

Blending the two oils is effective because of their complementary properties. Linseed oil is able to penetrate deep into the wood due to its small molecule size, providing protection from the inside. Tung oil, on the other hand, has the unique ability to fully polymerize in contact with air, forming a durable and wear-resistant film. Together, these oils create the protection needed for wood to stand up to outdoor conditions much better, protecting it from moisture.

In the outdoor environment, wood is also exposed to the sun's rays, which can damage unprotected wood or wood coated with transparent oils only. The natural pigments used in Kreidezeit varnishes not only provide color, but also block UV radiation, preventing discoloration and wood degradation. Kreidezeit pre-colored varnishes are available in several natural colors and are ideal for protecting and decorating wooden houses, fences, garden furniture, terraces or gazebos.
