THE SCIENCE OF OXIDATION

Let’s talk about the science of oxidation: corrosion, rust, and loss of woods natural beauty.

What it is, what causes it, how to stop it, and why our furniture salve reverses it!

Cause:

Oxidation is when wood or metal is weathered by moisture and oxygen. In chemical terms, oxidation is the result of atoms losing electrons. As a result of weathering, oxidation causes damage and weakens the substrate. This is a natural reaction resulting from time and exposure to elements. Wood comes into contact with oxygen through a myriad of channels such as rainy weather, overexposure to sunlight and wind, humidity and more. It dries out and deteriorates wood, reduces the natural beauty and grain, and causes rust, degradation, and pitting on metal.

Oxygenation stability:

Oxidation stability is a chemical reaction that occurs with a combination of the lubricating oil (such as hemp seed oil) and oxygen. The rate of oxidation is accelerated by high temperatures, water, acids and catalysts such as metals. Surfaces treated with refined solvent based oils are not as protective as natural oils that are unrefined. Not all oils designed to reduce oxidation are created equal and therefore, lesser quality oils will lead to an increase in the oil's viscosity and deposits of varnish and sludge. It’s also important to note; once oils are processed they generally lose most of their natural antioxidants and biocidal properties. This is why hemp seed oil is far superior! Why do companies use more harmful and less effective products to treat and restore wood?

The sad truth... COST! Wise Owl will never compromise the integrity of our products or the ingredients we use to save a buck.

Why use Wise Owl Furniture salve?

Our furniture salve formula includes unrefined cold processed hemp seed oil that packs all of its original super powers that restore and protect wood, leather and metals. It is a far superior and more a natural safer choice to other wood preservatives that are often pesticide based. Hemp seed oil is naturally anti-fungal, kills and inhibits mildew and bacterial growth, and deters insects better than moth balls! It penetrates deep into the wood finish, polymerizing (hardening) and producing a film that reduces exposure to elements that cause the degradation of wood.

Wise Owl furniture salve is a much safer choice that truly works better than chemically treated alternatives.
