Molecular Binding - Oil Plus 2C

The benefits of molecular bonding

Rubio Monocoat is the reference for high-quality and environmentally friendly protection of wood. The advanced technology of molecular bonding on which the operation of Rubio Monocoat is based, makes the Rubio® Monocoat oils not only sustainable , but also extremely economical and user-friendly .

Rubio Monocoat oil anchors itself – in a few moments – to the upper microns of the wood by forming a molecular bond with the cellulose fibers (no film formation, no saturation method). This unique technology has distinguished Rubio Monocoat from other wood protection products for years. As a result, our technology has the following advantages :

  • One single layer

  • No overlaps

  • Sustainable protection

  • Unique colours

  • 0% VOC

  • All types of wood

  • Easy maintenance

The difference with other technologies:

Varnish:

With varnish, you form a film on your wood that flakes off more easily over time . In addition, you have to apply multiple layers and sand in between . This means more work , higher consumption and is more time-consuming . In addition, the wood no longer feels natural, which is the case with Rubio Monocoat oils. Perhaps the most important thing of all: a mistake cannot be repaired . So if you have made a mistake, you have to sand off the entire varnish layer and start again.

Traditional waxes and oils:

With traditional waxes and oils, the products penetrate deep into the wood. Because of the saturation system, you also need multiple layers here. In addition, you run the risk of stains from a knocked over glass of wine for the first one to two months after application , which you then cannot remove. Here too, it is difficult to repair mistakes and you may get overlaps in the different layers. 

Rubio Monocoat oil:

The unique molecular bond ensures that you only need to apply one layer and that overlaps are impossible . The wood is easy to maintain and also retains its natural look and feel , also in combination with our many unique colours . Drops and stains will not penetrate the wood , but remain on the surface so that they can be easily removed. As the icing on the cake, the oils are also extremely user-friendly . You can easily divide your wood project into different days, because the product does not cause separation stripes . Another final additional advantage is that these products are based on linseed oil and are therefore very environmentally friendly . 

Patented FibreGrit Technology - DuroGrit

Rubio Monocoat has always been an innovative player on the market. With our new patented FibreGrit Technology, we are once again proving our relevance in the wood protection sector. DuroGrit consists partly of long cellulose fibres from wood itself. These fibres are water-repellent, very strong and hard. This means that they make your coating harder, strengthening the wear resistance and making the product suitable for terraces, garden furniture, etc.


In addition, these fibres form a grid to hold the UV stabilisers. This allows us to add more UV stabilisers, resulting in much better UV resistance. The larger amount of UV blockers and the protection this provides are revolutionary.


Thanks to this unique technology we can offer a product with a natural look on wood that is very durable. It provides a very good protection from UV light, while still being a very ecological product. Rubio Monocoat’s DuroGrit really is tomorrow’s durable UV protection for your outdoors.
