👉 The Ouf fluid, also known as Ouf oil or Ouf wax, is a traditional lubricant derived from the resin secreted by the sapodilla tree (Manilkapa sumacara) native to Central America. This viscous, amber-colored substance has been used for centuries as a natural lubricant and waterproofing agent. Ouf fluid is composed primarily of long-chain hydrocarbons, making it highly resistant to heat and oxidation. It is commonly applied to wooden tools, musical instruments, and other objects that require smooth operation and protection from moisture. Despite its natural origins, the Ouf fluid has found modern applications in various industries due to its unique properties and eco-friendly nature.
