Tung Oil Production Cost Reports

Tung Oil production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Tung Oil production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Tung Oil. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Tung Oil is an organic oil variety obtained from the tung tree, which is commonly known as the China-wood oil tree. It is a pale yellow-colored oily fluid and has a pungent characteristic odor. The seeds of the tung tree, also known as Aleurites cordata, are dried, processed, roasted, and pressed to yield Tung Oil. The oil polymerization on heating at an elevated temperature results in the formation of a hard, waterproof gel-like substance. The polymerized Tung Oil is highly inert and is resistant to alkalies and acids.

Tung Oil can remain stable up to 200 °C (approx.). It loses 10% of its total weight when being heated at a range between 200 to 400 °C. Heating it at around 260 °C and above can increase its viscosity and film-forming quality. The tung tree, which serves as a prime source for Tung Oil, is mainly grown around China and nearby Asian regions.

Tung Oil is majorly used as a wood oil or wooden coating oil and is associated with furniture, construction, paper, and pulp industries. The oil serves as an excellent drying oil alternative other than walnut, soy, and linseed oil that can be used as water-resistant finishes for wooden objects.  It is mainly used to coat wooden objects, including furniture, art and craft materials, and more.

It is a wood-finishing chemical used over wooden floors, decks, sidings, toys, etc. It can also be used to coat wood musical instruments such as guitars, violins, and more. It is also used as a waterproof coating chemical over marine vessels and boat hulls. The compound is utilized to coat and preserve art and craft materials as well. Moreover, it is utilized for producing paper products such as paper parasols on a large-scale. It can also be used to seal brick fixtures and can be helpful in construction work.

The market for Tung Oil is mainly driven by its demand as a wood finish in the construction, paper, and furnishing industries. Its usage as an organic drying oil alternative in coating wood objects, including toys, art, and craft materials, along with wooden furniture such as chairs, decks, cabinetry, siding furniture, etc, amplifies its application and increases its demand in the furnishing and construction industry.

Moreover, its utilization in paper product production, such as paper parasol, drives its demand in the paper and pulp industry. The rise and fall in its demand directly influence its procurement. Similarly, other factors, such as the variations in its production and market prices, distribution, and trading activities largely govern its procurement around the world. Hence, the fluctuations in any of these factors, including demand, prices, and supply, strongly determine its procurement.
