  • What is tung oil used for?
  • Tung oil is a high-grade, quick-drying oil that has been used for various purposes. It is used in paint, varnish, linoleum, and printer’s ink (Dickey, 1952). The Chinese have also used tung oil for waterproofing masonry, cloth, shoes, clothing, and paper. The tung tree was once the principal commercial source of tung oil.

  • The first tung tree seeds were reportedly brought to America from Hankow, China in 1905 by Dr. David Fairchild, who was then a senior agricultural explorer for the U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) at that time. The first seeds were distributed to experiment stations in the South.
