It was recorded in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Italian Kyle Polo was introduced, and tung oil gradually spread overseas.
Tung oil is an excellent dry vegetable oil, which has the characteristics of fast drying, light specific gravity, good luster, strong adhesion, heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, rust prevention and non-conductivity, and is widely used. It is the main raw material for making paints and inks. It is widely used as waterproof, anticorrosive and antirust coatings for buildings, machinery, weapons, ships, fishing gear and electrical appliances. It can also be used to make linoleum, oiled paper, soap, pesticides, emetic for medicine and pesticides.
Yunnan Province is an important producer of tung oil in China, and its annual output now ranks sixth in China. Production areas are distributed in Zhaotong, Wenshan, Qujing, Baoshan, Dali, Yuxi, Dehong and other places, and more than 50 counties in Guizhou, among which Zhaotong area and Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture are the main production areas.
Tung oil is an industrial vegetable oil, which is extracted from picked tung trees by mechanical pressing. The whole process is a physical method. Tung trees are perennial woody trees, which grow in mountainous areas far away from cities. Strong ability to resist pests and diseases, and the whole growth process does not need fertilization and pesticides. Tung oil is a natural vegetable oil with the characteristics of quick drying, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Tung oil is also waterproof, widely used in construction, painting, printing (ink), ships, agricultural machinery, electronics industry and furniture.
At present, the main packaging supplied is 190KG/ barrel. Besides, we can also supply tung powder. Tung meal is a natural organic fertilizer, which can also kill underground pests. ) Our tung powder is available in 25 kg/bag and 50 kg/bag.
