HOW WE DEVELOPED OUR FURNITURE WAX

In 1999 Ken, disappointed with the shortcomings of what was available in the market, developed a scientifically based product to improve on the furniture waxes being offered. Whilst there were many furniture waxes and oils available, all seemed to fall short of what Ken was looking for to handle his needs. For example, furniture oils penetrate wood adequately, but can ooze in the heat, become sticky (which is unpleasant to touch) and be very effective at trapping dust. Paste Furniture waxes, on the other hand, can provide an acceptable shine, but require strenuous effort to apply, need frequent polishing and tend to build up over time. Because of their softer formulation, they leave irritating fingerprint marks whenever you touch the surface (try that with young kids around!).

These samples of Maxwax-treated gum (and untreated), were exposed to weathering for 6 months. Note how the Maxwax-treated side of the timber still repels water after 6 months.
