Weight density:
1 layer bamboo 20 mm:  5.85
5 layer bamboo 20 mm:  6.75

Finish: Rubio monocoat oil
Water free and VOC-free
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus does not contain water or organic solvents.
The product mainly consists of natural ingredients.
The technology: colours and protects through molecular bonding
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus adheres with the uppermost microns of the wood, through molecular bonding with the fibres (no film forming, no saturation method).
Through the molecular bonding a long-lasting and durable protection is achieved.
The method word assessing the resistance against wear is based on the NEN 2072 Prefabricated laminated parquet - Methods of test and inspection.
The resistance to water is determined according NEN-EN 13442.
Pleasant work top
Since bamboo actually is a grass fibber, it has a much finer structure than most types of wood. Because of this, the surface is by nature already tough and smooth.  It is virtually scratch free. In short, an ideal work top for work desks and dining tables alike.

Virtually maintenance free
Bloooms finishes the bamboo with a natural oil. This forms a molecular bonding with the wood, resulting in an extremely dense and durable layer. This layer is not on the wood, as with paint or varnish, but becomes a part of it. Therefore it is extremely resistant to wear.
The treated bamboo is also excellently resistant against moisture. Stains on

Care:
Traditionally glued bamboo requires little to no care.
It absorbs in water circles in limited amounts.
Do not let acids (wine and vinegar) stain.

1. Superficial damaging and/or blistering.
2. Serious impact on the colour and/or shine.
3. Moderate impact on the colour and/or shine.
4. Light impact on the colour and/or shine.
5. No visible impact.                                                     
The stain test was executed 2 months after applying the Monocoat Oil on oak.      
The products were evaluated on impact at 1hr, 6hrs, and 24hrs.

During the production of traditionally glued bamboo a water based glue is used.
In addition, the complete production process is environmentally friendly.
No glue is being used, and no artificials are being added.
Employees work at regular hours (7 hours a day).

Specifications:  pressed bamboo (oak, walnut, forest)
Finish:
Brand: Rubio monocoat
Water free and VOC-free
Does not contain water or organic solvents.
The product mainly consists of natural ingredients.‑{}‑
The technology: colours and protects through molecular bonding
This oil adheres to the uppermost microns of the wood, through molecular bonding with the fibres (no film forming, no saturation method).
The usage is therefore much lower than with a traditional system.
Durable protection
Through the molecular bonding a sustainable and solid protection is achieved.
To achieve this molecular bonding, it is important to respect the processing time, several minutes. The better the fibres are bonded, the stronger the protection.
The method word assessing the resistance against wear is based on the NEN 2072 Prefabricated laminated parquet - Methods of test and inspection.
The resistance to water is determined according NEN-EN 13442.

Care:

Pressed bamboo requires little to no care. It absorbs water circles extremely well. It is very resistant against wear.

I gladly invite customers to share their experiences with my product.
I am happy with the positive reactions, the less positive ones are something for me to work on.

Hello Paul,

The table is doing really fine.
That oil truly is miracle stuff.
Whatever we spill on it: coffee, wine, grease, etc.: we'll wipe off the table with water and glassex or something like that.
Firs a stain/ dark spot will appear, but after a while it will disappear.
The table still looks brand new.
It's a good idea to sell the oil separately.
In due time our table will probably need another layer. I'll come visit you when that's the case.

Best wishes from Stieneke

For our products I have proprietary maintenance materials on sale, such as soap.
An advantage of this soap is that it will leave the oil intact.
