Product Description
Our Easiest Application Yet
Osmo Polyx®-Oil is a general purpose Hardwax-Oil wood finish that is derived from natural vegetable oils and waxes. Resistant to water, dirt, beer, wine, cola and saliva, Osmo Polyx-Oil is microporous and molecularly bonds with the wood, meaning it does not crack, flake, peel or blister.
Our new advanced formula of Polyx-Oil has been specially engineered in Germany to be the first Hardwax-Oil available on the North American market that can be easily applied with a brush or roller, with no buffing necessary! Can be spot-repaired and/or restored/renewed with no sanding required, therefore wood never needs complete sanding and refinishing again.
Available Osmo Polyx-Oil Colour Tones
3043 – Clear Satin
3031 – Clear Matte
Note: The above colour shades are a true likeness of the original, after application onto Oak. However, some variation may occur due to screen brightness and uploading processes. It is advisable to test colours on a small sample, as colour may appear differently on other wood species.
MECHANICALLY WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER; AND FLOOR BUFFER
First Coat: Apply one thin coat with an Osmo Floor Brush or Osmo Floor Roller.
- Stir the Polyx®-Oil well and prior to use
- Brush or roll the product thinly and evenly onto the floor.
- Do not remove excess product, this will absorb into the wood surface over the drying period
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time prior to proceeding to second coat
Second Coat: Roll or Brush a thin second coat and remove all excess with a buffing machine
- Brush or roll the second coat thinly and evenly onto the floor
- Allow approximately 5-10 minutes for product to penetrate surface
- Prior to buffing, remove excess product from room corners with a white pad
- Disperse and polish the floor, removing all excess using a floor buffer and white pads.
- There is too much on the surface when you can see swirls or rings. If so turn the pad over.
- Allow 8-10 hours drying time. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
Third Coat: Usually a third coat is not required, however highly absorbent or dry timbers may appear to require a third coat.
Please consult OSMO technical support at 1-844-OSMOCAN prior to carrying out a third coat
Tinting: Osmo Wood Wax Finish can also be used to lightly tint Polyx®-Oil 3054 up to a ratio of 10:1. Do not exceed a ratio of 10 parts Polyx®-Oil 3054 to 1 part Wood Wax Finish.
Ex. For Natural (no colour change from raw wood) tint Polyx-Oil with Wood Wax Finish 3111 White at 3% for the base-coat, followed by a coat of clear (untinted) Polyx-Oil as a top-coat.
Cure Period: Osmo Hardwax-Oil(s) like all floor finishes have a cure period. We recommend allowing 2 weeks for the surface to fully cure and harden prior to damp-mopping or placing rugs/mats on the surface.
