Overview:
Osmo UV-Protection-Oil is a satin, finish for the exterior that is based on natural oils. Microporous and will not crack, flake, peel or blister. When used as a
final finish after staining wood, Osmo UV-Protection-Oil prolongs the time between renovation significantly. As a solitary finish, it delays the greying process on vertical surfaces by a UV-Protection factor of 12 in comparison to untreated wood. Easy to apply and renew with no sanding or primer necessary. When dry, the finish is safe for humans, animals and plants and is suitable for children’s toys as per EN 71.3 (European norm) and resistant to perspiration and saliva in accordance with DIN 53160 (German industrial norm).
Surface Preparation:
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%). UV-Protection-Oil Tints is ready to use, please do not thin. Stir well before use.
Directions For Use:
Apply thinly along the wood grain with Osmo Natural Bristle Brush or Osmo Microfibre Roller and spread well. Allow to dry for approx. 12 hours with good ventilation. Then apply the second coat. When applying to an already coloured treated surface or when renovating, one coat applied to the clean and dry
surface is usually sufficient.
Note:
Oils enhance the natural tone of wood (permanent wet effect). Depending on the degree of weathering, apply one coat of Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Extra to the
cleaned and intact finish after approx. 3-4 years. For areas which are highly exposed to weather, such as weatherboard, post caps or window sills, please
expect substantially shorter intervals between renovations. Vertical elements mounted onto horizontal wood should have at least a 15 degree angle. Sharp
edges must be rounded (radius > 2 mm). If the greying process has already begun, refresh the surface with Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel and reapply 2 coats of Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Extra. To achieve the UV protection factor 12, it is necessary to apply 2 coats of UV-Protection-Oil Extra. With only one coat on untreated wood, the life of the finish is significantly shorter. Due to the high oil content, clear UV-Protection-Oil Extra has a light yellowing effect when used as a finish on white substrates. Therefore as a top coat on white finished areas, we recommend Natural Oil Woodstain 900 White.
