Oil repellency, unlike water repellency, essentially requires

  • A.a wax based finish
  • B.a crosslinking resin
  • C.a fluorochemical finish
  • D.a silicone based finish

Answer: C

Correct answer: a fluorochemical finish

Oil has a much lower surface tension than water, so a finish must have a lower surface energy still to repel it, and only fluorocarbon chemistry - with its densely packed CF3 groups - goes low enough. Waxes and silicones repel water perfectly well and are wetted by oil, which is exactly the distinction the next item turns on.
