Non-toxic, zero VOC, natural oil wood finish for interior woodwork — Part A
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, made in Belgium, is the only interior all-natural wood sealer with no toxic ingredients. Unlike most oils that are laced with toxic solvents, Rubio Monocoat is plant-based, 100% VOC-FREE and has virtually no odor. This is part A of a 2-part kit.
Monocoat means one coat: it protects and colors wood in a single coat, which saves time and money. Oil Plus 2C is a revolutionary technology that adheres to the top layer of microns of wood through molecular bonding. As a result it can cover approximately 400 SF per liter, which is far more than most oil or water-based finishes. No second coat is required, nor will the finished wood accept a second coat. Note: This is for interior use only. The exterior product is called Hybrid Wood Protector.
The 2C stands for two component. The A part is the oil (sold here), and the B part (included in Oil Plus 2C Kit) is the accelerator which helps the oil dry quickly. With the accelerator, walk on your floor in 24 hours, full move-in after 48 hours; cures fully in 7 days. (Oil Plus A can also be applied without the accelerator if time allows; allow 21 days for complete cure.)
This unique oil/wax finish is highly durable and water resistant which makes it suitable for new or old wood furniture, floors, cabinets, doors, windows, trim, etc. It's also ideal as a renovation and maintenance oil on previously oiled surfaces. All Monocoat finishes are easily maintained, and provide a subtle luster that reveals and complements, rather than covers, the natural grain and patina of the wood.
Monocoat natural oil finish bonding technology allows local touch-up of damaged areas or scratches, because only the free wood fibers will take the touch-up coating — the finished areas next to the scratch will not accept the new Monocoat. After 10 minutes, simply wipe away excess oil. There is no overlapping or buildup along the edges of the scratch.
Available in clear finish and 40 colors, which are available in small 20 ml samples for personal testing. Rubio Monocoat is manufactured in Belgium by one of the largest manufacturers of oil in Europe since 1964.

Below are usage/coverage rates for RMC OilPlus2C.
These are estimates only!
Hardwoods
Pure Oil – 1.3 Liter / 500-600 SF; 350ml / 135-160 SF; 100ML / 40-45 SF
Color Oil – 1.3 Liter / 300-450 SF; 350ml / 80-120 SF; 100ML / 20-35 SF
Softwoods
Pure Oil – 1.3 Liter / 450-550 SF; 350ml / 120-150 SF; 100ML / 35-40 SF
Color Oil – 1.3 Liter / 250-400 SF; 350ml / 60-100 SF; 100ML / 15-30 SF
Douglas Fir and Reclaimed Woods
Pure Oil – 1.3 Liter / 250-300 SF; 350ml /65-80 SF; 100ML / 18-20 SF
Color Oil – 1.3 Liter / 200-250 SF; 350ml / 55-65 SF; 100ML / 15-18 SF
Spread rates depend on many factors including:
color selected--ratio of oil to pigment. More pigment = lower spread rate.
wood species--denser/harder wood absorbs less and gets a better spread rate than porous wood which absorb more oil
Finally, after years of searching and testing, we've discovered an oil-based solvent-free zero VOC wood finish that's sustainable and completely safe even for chemically sensitive customers. This product can be used for all types of interior wood projects. It can be applied and maintained by DIY or professionals. Proper equipment (a floor buffer) is required for flooring, and can be rented from most rental stores. The matte finish is exceptionally nice and the lack of odor will surprise you. Everyone comments they can't believe that it's really an oil. Tell your contractor to return the Minwax — you've found something better.
