Transparent, matt wood finish that uniquely combines the advantages of natural oils and waxes in one product. Osmo Polyx®-Oil Effect Raw is stain-resistant, water-repellent and abrasion-resistant and results in a surface that is pleasant to the touch. In comparison to conventional finishes, the use of plant ingredients creates a more even colour and more harmonious appearance.
Osmo Polyx®-Oil Effect Raw is suitable for the protection and the nearly invisible surface finishing of lightly
coloured wood in indoor areas, such as wooden
flooring and furniture surfaces.
- Nearly invisible appearance, no ‘permanent wet effect’
- Light coloured wood stays light coloured
- Extremely durable and hardwearing
- Very water and dirt resistant
- Resistant to common liquid spillages such as wine, beer, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juice, milk and water in accordance with German DIN 68861-1A
- Saliva-resistant and sweatproof, suitable for children’s toys
- Microporous, breathable finish which does not crack, peel or flake
- No sanding necessary for spot repairs or future applications
- Simple application without primer or intermediate sanding – this saves time and money.
Application
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%). Osmo Polyx®-Oil Effect Raw is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use. Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (with Osmo Wood Filler). Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring P120-150, for furniture P180-240. Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum cleaner. The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
METHODS OF APPLICATION
With Osmo Flat Brush, Floor Brush or Microfibre
Roller, apply thinly along the wood grain and spread
well. Allow to dry for approx. 24 hours under good
ventilation.
After drying, quickly apply a second coat also thinly.
When renovating or recoating an already oiled surface, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is
usually sufficient.
DRYING TIME
Approx. 24 hours (normal climatic conditions, 23°C/50 % rel. humidity). Lower temperatures and/or higher air humidity can increase the drying time. Ventilate well while drying. After 2-3 weeks, surface is fully cured.
COVERAGE
1 litre covers approx. 30 m² with one coat. Coverage depends significantly on the condition of the wood. All information refers to smooth and planed/ sanded surfaces. Other surfaces may lead to differences in coverage.
Applying the product too generously and insufficient ventilation lead to delays in drying time and the typical smell of oil. Any brushstrokes can be removed with an unused dry Microfibre Roller within 30 minutes after applying.
