Key Properties
Tung oil extra pure (china wood oil) is a natural drying oil derived from the seeds of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii). It is historically significant in the formulation of varnishes and wood finishes due to its excellent drying properties and ability to form a tough, water-resistant film. This oil is primarily composed of triglycerides, particularly eleostearic acid, which contributes to its unique drying characteristics. Tung oil is valued for its ability to enhance the appearance of wood while providing protection against moisture and wear.
Also known as China wood oil.

- Substance
Tung oil appears as a pale yellow to amber oily liquid with a density of 0.937 g/mL. It has a characteristic odor that is often described as nutty or earthy. The oil has a boiling point of approximately 300 °C (572 °F) and a flash point of around 200 °C (392 °F). It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but is insoluble in water. The viscosity of tung oil is typically around 50 cP at 25 °C, making it relatively easy to apply in various formulations.
