Molecular Bonding

Rubio Monocoat oil adheres, within just a couple of minutes, to the topmost fibers of the wood through a unique molecular bonding technology. Due to this molecular bonding technology, a durable finish that keeps the woods natural look and feel is achieved. No more need for building up plastic layers on the surface of the wood, as with traditional polyurethanes. Additionally, unlike traditional waxes and oils, there is no need to continually apply additional oil to the wood.

- Not restorable
- Does not have the natural look & feel

Traditional waxes & oils

- Continuous saturation
- Multiple layers
- Difficult to restore (overlaps)
- Maintenance intensive
