China Wood Oil / Vernicia Fordii Oil Compatibility with Rubber O-Rings & Gaskets

Tung oil, also known as China wood oil and derived from the seeds of the tung tree (Aleurites fordii), is a natural drying oil widely used in wood finishes, varnishes, paints, and protective coatings. It forms a durable, water resistant film when exposed to air, making it valuable for finishing and sealing wood surfaces. In equipment where tung oil may contact O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, compatibility should be evaluated to ensure long term sealing performance. Proper storage, controlled handling, and appropriate PPE are recommended to prevent oxidation and maintain product quality.
