What wax is used for mahogany furniture is very important for the regular maintenance of furniture in daily life, and many people will choose to wax the furniture. Waxing furniture can keep the water inside the furniture from losing. Let's share what wax is used for mahogany furniture.
What wax is used for mahogany furniture 1 1. What wax is used for mahogany furniture maintenance?
Available: 1, walnut oil. 2. Natural wood wax. 3. Imported beeswax. 4. Hot wax. 5, mahogany essential oil. 6, silicone oil, etc. In the waxing project of mahogany furniture, it is necessary to ensure that the coating thickness is uniform and every corner should be coated to ensure the best effect.
2. What is the waxing process of mahogany furniture?
1, the surface of mahogany furniture should be waxed with a wax brush to ensure the uniformity of the whole process, otherwise it will easily affect the later progress.
2. When the wax is evenly distributed on the surface of mahogany furniture, use uniform heating to spread it evenly.
3. In the wax scalding stage, at this time, the amount of wax used should be less, and the temperature should be well controlled to make the wax bloom, and mahogany furniture should be put in the process.
4. Start waxing stage, mainly to clean the floating wax on the surface of mahogany furniture at one time. Generally speaking, the cleaner the waxing, the more delicate the mahogany furniture feels and the better the roundness.
5. After waxing is finished, it is necessary to polish the wax. At this time, it is necessary to use pure cotton cloth to wipe along the texture of mahogany furniture. Pay attention to the strength and speed. After construction, there should be no sticky feeling.
6. The last step is to shake the wax. At this time, it is necessary to use the temple of wild boar to shake constantly to clean up the stains on the surface of mahogany furniture. Of course, the wax in the gaps in mahogany furniture should also be cleaned up.
If you are in the north, because the weather in the north is dry, walnut oil is more suitable for maintaining mahogany furniture. If the humidity in the south is high, the surface of furniture polished with walnut oil will be moldy and hairy, so in the south, if it is waxed mahogany furniture, it is best to maintain it with beeswax. However, the cleaning and maintenance process of wax is relatively complicated.
If you want to use beeswax for maintenance, you'd better go to the bee product store to buy better quality beeswax. The use of walnut oil in mahogany furniture is simple, so don't put too much on it. You can rub it several times. Then use Shen Liang or Bellevue to remove the excess walnut oil, and recommend the product Flouna walnut oil. The effect is warm and simple, and the effect is very good.
At the same time, you can also choose natural wood wax, which comes from nature and is natural and environmentally friendly. The actual effect is not very good, and it can be used for daily cleaning.
What wax is used for mahogany furniture? 2. Hot wax.
The traditional wax ironing process is to finely polish the surface of mahogany furniture, and then directly heat the earth yellow wax to penetrate into the wooden surface of the furniture, so that the earth yellow wax forms a protective film with the wood and resin in mahogany.
The mahogany furniture treated in this way will be smoother and softer with use, and will form patina after long-term use.
In fact, the ancient wax ironing process was very simple, basically repeating the following steps:
Heat and melt the earth beeswax-brush the melted beeswax on the furniture-bake at high temperature to further penetrate the beeswax-absorb the spilled earth beeswax with cotton yarn.
The simplest is often the hardest! It is precisely because the ancient method of scalding wax is too simple that the following two problems appear:
1. Furniture treated by ancient wax-ironing technology must be polished smooth and delicate in advance. Starting with 100 mesh sandpaper, each part of the furniture is polished repeatedly through rough grinding, medium grinding and fine grinding until it reaches 2000 mesh. This alone consumes a lot of labor.
2. Beeswax is pale yellow and almost colorless, which can't cover up the true color of wood, leading to any white skin, defects and color difference of defective products, so it requires extremely high materials and components, which will inevitably waste a lot of wood and increase costs.
In fact, the ancient wax ironing process is not suitable for mahogany factories that pursue economies of scale.
Fine grinding depends entirely on sea tactics. At the moment of high labor cost, it is a difficult problem to recruit and manage only a huge grinding team if mass production is carried out.
At the same time, the old wax scalding method is harsh on materials, the assembly requirements of materials and the cost of wasting wood, which are insurmountable obstacles for large-scale industrial assembly line production.
It is precisely because of these two problems in ancient wax ironing that many mahogany factories have changed ancient wax ironing into industrial wax ironing.
The difference between industrial wax perm and ancient wax perm lies not in whether honey wax is used, but in primer, color matching and curing agent (hardener), which are often called "holding lacquer wax", "color matching wax perm" and "curing wax perm" in the industry.
A 1: Curing and blanching wax
After bleaching and color matching, wood is treated with curing agent. As long as it is roughly polished, it will make the surface look very smooth and smooth, with excellent appearance and no white skin defects:
B2: lacquer wax
It is difficult to tell the quality of wood only from the surface by painting the whole furniture with a layer of primer and then with a layer of wax.
C3: Color matching and wax ironing
First, the whole surface of furniture is dyed (matched with color), and then waxed. This kind of furniture also looks very beautiful and elegant, and ordinary consumers can't see any problems:
The boss (and designer) of a famous mahogany factory and brand in China once said: Wax perm is deceptive.
Although this statement is too absolute, at present, the wax perm in many factories is indeed industrial wax perm.
Waxing and waxing
Waxing and waxing can be understood as the same process, and it is also a name misunderstood by countless people.
If you visit the mahogany furniture market, you can often hear us waxing.
If you ask "Are you primed", you are an expert. Generally, they will honestly tell you that "the primer is higher", and often it will be followed by a sentence: This is more convenient for you to use.
Let's not discuss whether mahogany needs paint protection. In fact, waxing is just a daily maintenance method of mahogany furniture.
For mahogany furniture with waxing and waxing technology in the market, it can be understood as painting and waxing, and it can also be understood as painting, just rubbing a layer of wax on the surface for maintenance.
In addition, earth wax is not suitable for wiping, so waxed furniture is generally synthetic wax.
Boiling wax
The ancient wax ironing, industrial wax ironing, wax wiping and waxing mentioned above are all surface treatment processes of mahogany furniture, while wax boiling is a wood drying process, which is still a controversial process.
The wax used in "boiling wax" is not beeswax, but industrial paraffin extracted from petroleum.
Industrial paraffin is a mixture, and the melting point and boiling point of different kinds of paraffin vary greatly. Liquid paraffin is a liquid at room temperature, while ordinary industrial paraffin is a white solid at room temperature, with a melting point of 50~70℃ and a boiling point of 300~550℃.
Because the boiling point of paraffin wax is higher than that of water, soak wood in paraffin wax and cook it. When the wax is heated above 100℃, the water in the wood will vaporize from the surface to the inside, and the wax will penetrate into the wood to replace the water, so boiling wax is also called "wax water replacement". There is also a vacuum pump to speed up the separation of water.
The basic principle is the same as "fried chicken legs" and "fried dough sticks". Cooking wax means turning oil into paraffin and food into wood.
According to previous network reports, a wax boiling equipment needs to put 1.5 tons of paraffin into wood at a time, which consumes nearly 200 Jin at a time, and most of it is replaced by wood.
After wax boiling, mahogany wood has basically lost its wood properties of heating and drying shrinkage, so it is extremely stable.
Of course, there are also many people who are extremely opposed to changing "redwood" into "paraffin wood", changing the smell and color of wood, reducing the elasticity of wood and making it brittle, which is considered as "the biggest insult to redwood"
Whether it is the "biggest insult" or not, we will not comment here, and everyone can experience it for themselves.
In addition, boiling wax is not an invention of a mahogany master. As early as several decades ago, the sleepers under the train tracks in China were treated by wax boiling technology, which is hereby explained.
For more than ten years, the mahogany market has been huge and expanding rapidly. However, how many people who buy mahogany are willing to spend some energy to think and understand mahogany and technology?
Decades later, there are still a few mahogany furniture with collection value and inheritance significance, but now only mahogany lovers and people with heart can know and choose these few.
What wax is used for mahogany furniture? 3. The benefits of waxing furniture
The advantage of furniture waxing is that it can block the circulation of furniture moisture and the outside world, thus effectively avoiding the structural deformation of furniture. Moreover, furniture waxing can also help the wood fibers of furniture to be moistened and make the furniture look so shiny forever.
At the same time, furniture waxing can not only prevent moisture and scratches, but also play a bactericidal role through chemicals inside the wax, so that pathogenic bacteria attached to the surface of furniture can be quickly killed by furniture waxing, thus protecting furniture and prolonging its service life.
2. Is furniture waxing harmful to human body?
Whether furniture waxing is harmful to human body depends on the waxing situation. Generally, real beeswax products are used, which has no effect on human body at all. You can use it safely. But if you buy ordinary wax products, you will often add some spices and heavier chemicals. This may cause dizziness, allergies and other symptoms. But it won't hurt people too much. In short, the advantages of waxing furniture outweigh the disadvantages.
3. What wax is good for waxing mahogany furniture?
If you are in the north, because the weather in the north is dry, walnut oil is more suitable for maintaining mahogany furniture. If the humidity in the south is high, the surface of furniture polished with walnut oil will be moldy and hairy, so in the south, if it is waxed mahogany furniture, it is best to maintain it with beeswax. However, the cleaning and maintenance process of wax is relatively complicated. If you want to use beeswax for maintenance, you'd better go to the bee product store to buy better quality beeswax.
Fourth, the correct steps of waxing and maintenance of mahogany furniture
1, wax
The purpose of the preliminary work of wax ironing is to prepare for evenly wiping and waxing. Specifically, wax brushes (three or four rows of hard brushes) are used to evenly point wax on all parts of the furniture surface in turn.
2, cloth wax
It is to evenly coat the wax from the previous step during the heating process.
3. Hot wax
In the process of scalding wax, the temperature should be lower and less wax should be used. In thermal motion, wax will melt away and make it slowly penetrate into the material.
Step 4 wax
First, use special tools. Traditional tools are made of horns, but wax shovels made of the same material (commonly known as wax screwdrivers) can be made into wax shovels with special shapes. For ordinary aircraft, a flat wax shovel can be made by grinding the nose flat. But for the carved part, it should be conical and concave. For example, in the part with lines, waxing is convex according to the lines, and the tools are specially concave to facilitate waxing. In the process of waxing, we should pay attention to one go, in order to shovel the floating wax on the surface of furniture at one time. It also plays a certain calendering process. The cleaner the wax is, the more delicate and round the surface feels.
5. Wax polishing
The traditional method is to use small coarse cloth and pure cotton cloth to poke along the texture of furniture like taking a bath, which is not only powerful but also has a certain speed, so that the friction process has a certain temperature, the wax can not be fixed, and the floating wax that has not been shoveled is removed, and the hand feel is intuitive and optimal. After waxing, the furniture surface does not feel sticky, and the technical effect can be achieved.
Step 6 shake the wax
Also known as dry barrel wax. That is, brush with bristles. Generally, choose a brush with a width of 7~8 cm and a length of 12~ 15 cm and good hardness, but don't use wild bristles because the hardness is too strong. Shake and wipe all parts with a brush, including the wax in the gap. From all angles of furniture, the gloss of the surface is consistent, and the whole wax-ironing process is completed.
