OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil "FOR FURNITURE" for light-colored indoor furniture

"OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil For Furniture" is the newest member of our raw wood effect family. Inspired by Scandinavian interior design, it makes light-coloured home furniture look freshly sanded. Take a look at its DNA and let Dominic Pollack show you how to apply it.

The Scandinavian furnishing style is one of the most popular living trends. It has an almost refreshing lightness and is unobtrusive. The Nordic living world is minimalist and appears clear. Benches, tables or chairs made of light wood create a friendly feel-good atmosphere and make it Scandinavian cosy. Whether oak, ash, fir or pine: wood should remain wood and feel as it looks: pure and natural. Our water-based raw wood effect oil "OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil For Furniture" is inspired by the Scandinavian style. It hardly fires the natural colour of light wood and makes the surface appear untreated and freshly sanded. It is developed for people who like to feel 'pure wood' and live in a healthy environment."

"Scandic-Oil" – The DNA

OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil For Furniture: 0 % VOC and 100 % Raw Wood Effect

0% wood ignition, 0% pore drawing, 0% VOC (volatile organic compounds) result in 100% raw wood effect. This is the DNA of "OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil For Furniture". This is made possible by vegetable oils in an aqueous emulsion, which are refined in a complex process. In addition, a fine pinch of light-stable white pigments rounds off the raw wood effect and offers UV protection. The viscous formulation can be optimally brushed or sprayed, has good stability on vertical surfaces and is therefore recommended for stair and furniture surfaces.

Environmentally friendly and healthy for living

OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil For Furniture is VOC-free and healthy for living

The natural "Scandic-Oil For Furniture" earns additional sympathy points because it is so environmentally friendly and VOC-free. In addition, the oiled surfaces are good for the indoor climate. The wood remains open-pored, can breathe and absorb and release humidity. The low-odour furniture oil is harmless to humans, animals and plants, complies with DIN EN 71-3 (Safety of Toys) and DIN 53160 (Saliva and Sweat Resistance). As an ecological product, it is baubook-listed and approved as a building product by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt).

4 steps of application

OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil For Furniture – application on light oak

Whether in the children's room, bedroom or living room: "Scandic-Oil For Furniture" feels at home in all living areas. It protects untreated and newly sanded furniture or stairs made of light softwood and hardwood.

However, before you start, the furniture must be finely sanded, dry, clean, dust-free and grease-free. For the final sanding, grit 240 is recommended. Afterwards, the surface should be thoroughly dusted. Here we show you step by step how to apply it: Shake the container well before opening. The oil-water emulsion and the pigment that has settled can then mix perfectly again.

Here we show you step by step how to apply it:

  1. Always oil at room temperature. Not in direct sunlight or heat. Apply the first coat of oil generously with a brush or a flat brush in the direction of the grain. Initially, the wet oil will highlight the natural colour of the wood. But don't worry, the enhancement will disappear during drying.
  2. After just two to three hours, the first coat of oil is dry and ready for intermediate sanding. This cuts off the wood fibres that have risen due to the water content in the oil. To minimise the risk of sanding through, hand sanding with a P220 sanding sponge is suitable for intermediate sanding. Afterwards, the surface should be thoroughly dusted.
  3. Now apply the second coat of oil with a brush or a flat brush. This should also be applied generously and in the direction of the grain until the surface is evenly wetted. It is best to immediately massage the wet oil into the surface with a beige pad by hand or polishing machine until no residue remains. The surface should then feel dry.

TIP: If you have applied too much oil that can no longer be padded, simply remove the excess with a cotton cloth or an oil-absorbing cloth. Then polish the surface again with a polishing pad.

Here are some application strengths: "Scandic-Oil" forgives minor sanding errors and does not highlight them. The fast drying allows for surface treatment within one day. The surface is fully cured and usable after three to five days. Oil-soaked rags, pads or brushes are not prone to spontaneous combustion. Brushes & co. are easy to clean with water and can then be reused. The surface can be refreshed and re-oiled again and again without sanding.

Protection and Care

Like skin, wood also needs to be cleaned and cared for. Dirt is removed by the mild "OLI-NATURA Wood Soap" and the "OLI-NATURA Refresher" freshens up the furniture. The emulsion penetrates deep into the wood pores and renews the protective effect from within. The raw wood effect is preserved and small scratches are softened. Use the "Refresher" depending on the wood's needs: for example, if the water resistance decreases or the wooden furniture feels dry and brittle. With regular cleaning and care, "Scandic-Oil" oiled surfaces will provide many years or even decades of enjoyment.
