Wood gives our interiors a warm and authentic look. Moreover, the material is very durable, knows Sjoerd Bos, Sales Manager at Rubio Monocoat Netherlands. "To maintain the look and quality for as long as possible, good wood protection and periodic maintenance are essential." Rubio responds to this with a complete range of products, such as Oil Plus 2C. This revolutionary and VOC-free oil colors and protects the wood in just one coat. And that in 40 natural colors! "Oil Plus 2C is perfectly suited for pressure areas and can easily be applied to all interior wood surfaces. From furniture to worktops, table tops, stairs and floors."
A special feature of Oil Plus 2C is its binding. "The oil forms a molecular bond with the wood fibers in the wood surface, thus protecting and coloring the wood in a single coat," Bos said. "This avoids overlaps and deposits and you get superior, long-lasting wood protection, at very low consumption. Plus, you preserve the natural look and feel and grain structure of the wood."
Oil Plus 2C is available in 40 colors, which can also be mixed together. From Antique Bronze to Ash Grey, Castle Brown, Dark Oak, Pine and Mahogany. "With this, we offer architects and end users unlimited possibilities," Bos said. "The oil enriches the natural look of the wood, is highly ecological (VOC-free) and contains no water or solvents. This way we guarantee the safety and health of both the user and his environment. Oil Plus 2C is suitable for almost all wood species and wood types (solid wood, veneer, MDF, ...). The combination of an oil and accelerator guarantees fast curing, while a very low consumption of 1 liter per 30-50 m2 contributes to limiting our waste streams."
"Oil Plus 2C is one of the most versatile wood oils on the market," emphasizes Bos. "The oil is excellent for worktops and other surfaces that come into contact with food and is Food Contact Compliant in accordance with EC No. 1935/2004. This declaration - issued by independent test institute Eurofins - confirms that, for example, cutting boards, kitchen worktops and table tops treated with Oil Plus 2C 100% are safe for domestic use."
Oil Plus 2C also has an LCA from VITO and a B-EPD from the FPS Public Health. Rubio Monocoat is also the first in the wood treatment sector to obtain the 'Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold' label and GREENGUARD GOLD certificate. The oil also meets the toy standard EN 71-3.
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is doing well in both the new construction and renovation markets. The oil gives existing wooden floors and stairs a sustainable second life, says Bos. "Wooden floors are an investment for life. And although they fit into any interior, it can happen that you get tired of them. Were you going for dark oak, but are now more enamored with a graying or white tone? Or do you want to go from light to dark? No problem with Rubio Monocoat products! We have been the king of colors since 2005, for every application and for every type of wood. In addition to 40 standard colors, our range also includes 13 trend colors, from subtle to pronounced, with which every living wish can be fulfilled sustainably, quickly and cost-efficiently. Both on floors and stairs, eliminating the need to invest in, for example, PVC, vinyl, laminate or other artificial and environmentally damaging additives. With this, we offer the sustainable solution for everyone who loves wood!"
A loyal user of Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is Bo Parket. This flooring company with branches in Amsterdam and Haarlem specializes in traditional parquet floors, which are laid traditionally and exclusively by its own parquet workers. "For the parquet finish, we offer two options that fully meet environmental requirements: varnishing or oiling," says Account Manager Mark van Turennout. "For the pure oil finish, we primarily use Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, which is very pleasant to work with. Moreover, the oil is excellent dirt repellent and Rubio Monocoat offers a wide range of colors as well as a good maintenance program. Before application, the parquet floors are sanded and dusted to 120-grit paper, after which the oil is applied by machine, polished and buffed." In addition to new floors, Bo Parket is strong in renovation projects, where wood floors are re-sanded and finished. For example, in an alternative color. "This allows users to enjoy their durable wood floors for as long as possible."
Sustainability was also Rubio Monocoat's theme at River Event 2024. "During this event, we presented our new DuroGrit; a sustainable, wood fiber-enriched and water-soluble oil that colors and protects all exterior wood in just one coat," said Bos. "The FibreGrit Technology, where added wood fibers provide a unique structure, guarantees a saturating and breathable monocoat system. As a result, our product not only offers incredible and long-lasting UV protection compared to other exterior wood finishing products, but is also extremely durable as well as resistant. The intense colors bring the treated wood to life for a long time."
