Professional hardwood floor contractor applying Rubio Monocoat to a living room

Wood finish, perfected.
One coat. 0% VOC. 40+ colors.

Oil Plus 2C is the plant-based hardwax oil finish that colors and protects interior wood in one single coat. It bonds molecularly with the wood fibers instead of forming a plastic film, so there are no yellowing topcoats and no endless recoating. Just a natural matte finish you can see and feel.

THE SMARTER WAY TO FINISH WOOD

Most wood finishes make you choose:
beauty or protection.

Polyurethane buries the grain under plastic. Stains still need a topcoat. Traditional oils demand coat after coat and constant upkeep. Oil Plus 2C ends the compromise with rich, natural color and serious protection from one product, in one coat.

Molecular Bonding Technology

One coat is all it takes

Oil Plus 2C bonds with the top fibers of the wood instead of forming a film on top of it. That molecular bond is why one coat is enough: full color, full protection, no primer, no topcoat, no recoats. Less product, less labor, better results.

Natural look & feel

Wood that still looks and feels like wood

Because there’s no plastic film, the grain stays open and tactile with a rich, velvety matte finish. Enhance the character of oak, walnut, maple, pine, or any other wood species without the glossy, buried-in-plastic look of polyurethane.

Wood finish questions, answered

What makes Oil Plus 2C different from other wood finishes?

Most finishes form a film on top of the wood. Oil Plus 2C bonds molecularly with the top wood fibers, so one coat delivers color and durable protection while keeping the natural look and feel of the wood.

Is a hardwax oil durable enough for furniture and table tops?

Yes. Once cured, Oil Plus 2C is water- and heat-resistant and stands up to daily use on dining tables, desks, countertops, and floors. And if life happens, you can spot-repair just the damaged area instead of refinishing the whole surface.

What projects can I use it on?

Virtually any interior wood: furniture, hardwood floors, cabinetry, millwork, doors, stairs, paneling, butcher blocks, and more. It works on all common wood species.

Do I need a separate stain and topcoat?

No. Oil Plus 2C delivers color and protection in a single product and a single coat. Choose from 40+ colors. The color you apply is the finish you get.

How much do I need?

Because you only apply one thin coat, a little goes a long way: roughly 300–500 square feet per liter depending on the wood species and how it’s prepared.

How long until I can use my project?

The surface is dry to the touch in 24–36 hours, about 80% cured after 2 days, and fully cured in 5 days at room temperature.

Is it safe to use indoors?

Yes. Oil Plus 2C is plant-based and contains 0% VOCs, so there are no harsh fumes. Once cured, it’s certified food contact safe and toy safe.
