Wood coating compositions

A wood coating composition comprising, relative to the total weight of the composition (C):

• from 58.00 to 95.00 weight percentage of at least one alkyd resin or at least one drying oil;
• from 0.10 to 8.00 wt. % of at least one microcrystalline wax derived from de-oiling petrolatum during the refining process of crude petroleum and having a congealing point from 60° C. to 100° C.;
• from 5.00 to 34.00 wt. % of at least one synthetic micronized wax selected from the group consisting of micronized polytetrafluoroethylene wax, micronized hybrid wax of polyethylene-polytetrafluoroethylene wax, micronized Fischer-Tropsch wax, micronized polyethylene wax, micronized polypropylene wax, micronized polyamide wax, and micronized polymer hybrids thereof, said at least one synthetic micronized wax having a particle size D90 equal to or less than 36.0 μm and a particle size D50 equal to or less than 20.0 μm [micronized wax (Mp), herein after];
• wherein the congealing point of the microcrystalline wax (Wc) is measured according to the standard ASTM D938, and wherein the particle size of the at least one micronized wax (Mp) is measured according to the standard DIN ISO 13320.
