Rubio Monocoat (http://www.monocoat.us) natural oil finish is a non-emitting (zero-VOC) finish, which complies with South Coast Air Quality Management standards. It qualifies you toward 2 LEED Credits. Some of the other environmental features of this product include:
PLANT-BASED FINISH
Monocoat Oil is made from Flax and Carnauba plants, both of which are considered rapidly renewable materials. Rapidly renewable means that the materials that go into this product grow back very quickly.
ZERO-VOC
Monocoat Oil and Maintenance Soaps are VOC-free. VOC-free means that, unlike conventional finishes and maintenance soaps, there is no off-gassing scent associated with the application of these products.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Monocoat Oil is a one-coat application, whereas conventional finishes require three coats and three trips to a job site. Since you only have to apply this finish once, you save on transportation costs.
Monocoat Oil requires only one buffing machine application, whereas three are needed to apply the standard three coats of conventional finish. Thus, this product contains less embodied energy than the conventional.
