The “OLI-NATURA Project Oil,” based on natural oils, is used for the colored treatment of furniture, stairs, and floorboards made from almost all types of wood. It has a solids content of 60%, penetrates deeply into the pores, and reliably protects the wood from within. It does not form a surface film, but rather provides an open-pore impregnation. Thanks to the Project Oil’s high inherent penetration, it is particularly easy to apply and highly productive. With just one or two applications, extremely water- and dirt-repellent wood surfaces are achieved that are easy to maintain and repair.
There are four colors that preserve the natural charm of the wood and enhance the tactile quality of the surface. The pigments preserve the wood’s grain structure and give the surface a natural color. At the same time, the UV-stable color pigments help counteract the wood’s natural color change for as long as possible.
The Project Oil is ideal for all limed, untreated, sanded, or new wood surfaces, and is also suitable for oriented strand board (OSB) and cork indoors: whether for wooden or framed furniture, wall coverings, doors or kitchen furniture, parquet floors, or stairs.
Easy to apply: Depending on the application, the product is applied in one or two working steps with a brush, a pad, or an oil roller, so that the entire wood surface is evenly wetted with a glossy film. After a short penetration time, the excess is simply removed with a cotton cloth/oil-absorbing cloth and polished again. If required, a second application can be made after drying overnight without intermediate sanding.
For normally used furniture, a single application is generally completely sufficient. Floors, stairs, or heavily used furniture, on the other hand, require more protection. A second application is recommended here.
To test the effect of the oil, we offer you a practical sample size.
Quality: The “OLI-NATURA Project Oil” is based on modified vegetable oils such as linseed oil, medical-grade isoparaffin, and lead- and cobalt-free drying agents. We deliberately avoid using critical substances such as preservatives, formaldehyde, aromatics, biocides, cobalt salts, and oximes.
The product cures within the wood in combination with atmospheric oxygen, forming a tough-elastic finish. The oiled surface remains open-pore and breathable. Due to its diffusion openness (water vapor permeability), the treated wood can store moisture from the room air and release it again when needed. This improves the indoor climate and increases people’s well-being.
The cured material is harmless to humans, animals, and plants. It complies with DIN EN 71-3 (safety of toys) and DIN 53160 (resistance to saliva and perspiration) and is a construction product approved by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt).
Application instructions:
Sand the wooden surface carefully, starting with coarse sanding; final sanding for furniture: P180-240, for floors: P100-150. The surface must be dry, thoroughly cleaned, and free of oil, wax, grease, silicone, and sanding dust. Apply the material at room temperature and shake/stir well.
For furniture:
- Apply the oil with a flat brush/surface brush evenly in a thin coat in the direction of the grain. Allow to penetrate for 20-30 minutes. Spread and polish with a lint-free cotton cloth/oil-absorbing cloth until the surface appears dry. If necessary, use a beige pad on large surfaces. If required, a second coat can be applied after 6-8 hours without intermediate sanding. For parquet flooring: Apply the oil in sections covering 5-10 m² using a mohair roller, oil applicator, oil brush
or
- evenly in a thin coat. After allowing it to penetrate for 20-30 minutes, work it into the wet surface by hand or with a single-disc machine using a white or beige pad, until the surface appears evenly matt. Remove any excess oil with a cotton cloth/ After drying overnight, apply the second coat as described above. Coverage: surface brush 1-2 coats | Depending on the absorbency of the substrate, approximately 40-50 g/m² per coat (20-25 m²/l) Drying : Depending on humidity and temperature, the surface is dust-dry after 1-2 hours and fully cured after 2-3 days. Protect it from water during this time.oil-absorbing cloth Coverage / drying time depend on the type of wood and the absorbency of the substrate. Excess material on non-absorbent areas delays drying, as do low temperatures and/or excessively high humidity and/or excessively high wood moisture.
Cleaning brushes & tools: For environmentally friendly cleaning, we recommend our

Oil-soaked cloths/pads can spontaneously combust due to heat buildup! Therefore, clean them immediately after use or store them under water. The product itself is not self-igniting.

HINWEIS ZUR SELBSTENTZÜNDUNGSGEFAHR: Ölgetränkte Lappen/Pads können sich durch Wärmestau selbst entzünden! Deshalb diese sofort nach Gebrauch reinigen oder unter Wasser aufbewahren. Das Produkt an sich ist nicht selbstentzündlich.
Only a few care measures are needed to keep the surface looking beautiful for a long time. Dust deposits, for example, can simply be wiped off with a dry or, if necessary, damp cloth.
Parquet floors, on the other hand, should be vacuumed or swept daily, as sand and dust can cause fine scratches. Stubborn dirt can be quickly removed with a mild wood soap. It is important to avoid excessive moisture and standing water.
At the same time, oiled wood should be refreshed from time to time with »OLI-NATURA Project Oil« or the »OLI-NATURA Wood Care Oil« . For normal maintenance cleaning, we recommend OLI-NATURA wood soap. This replenishes the wood’s pores with oil and renews its protective effect. After such treatment, the wood is antistatic and therefore attracts less dust.
In addition, the oiled surface can be refinished easily, which is not possible with lacquered surfaces. The affected area can be lightly sanded and retreated without having to renovate the entire surface.
Hazard-determining components for labeling
Materials contaminated with the product, such as cleaning rags, paper cleaning cloths, and protective clothing, may spontaneously ignite after several hours.
