Aleurites Fordii (Chinese Wood Oil)
Fruit from trees at the end of fourth year
The affinity of tung oil for rosin has resulted in the production of a series of moderate-priced varnishes most suitable for use in floor and deck paints or wherever great hardness is required. These varnishes are also finding application in the manufacture of concrete, steel, and flat wall paints; being especially suitable for the above purposes when compounded with kauri gum japan.
