How many coats are required for full UV protection?

To achieve the full UV protection factor of 12, two coats must be applied to untreated wood. If you are applying it as a top coat over a previously colored treated surface, one coat is usually sufficient.

When should I reapply the oil to maintain protection?

Depending on the degree of weathering, a maintenance coat is typically needed after 3-4 years for vertical surfaces. Areas highly exposed to weather, such as window sills or post caps, may require shorter intervals. No sanding is required before reapplication.

Osmo UV Protection Oil Application Guide:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Osmo UV Protection Oil

Q1. How does Osmo UV-Protection Oil protect exterior wood?

It uses a specialized formula to delay the graying process of vertical wood surfaces by a UV-protection factor of 12 compared to untreated wood. It creates a microporous, breathable finish that prevents moisture from getting trapped while resisting cracking, peeling, and flaking.

Q2. What is the difference between Osmo 410 Clear and 420 Clear?

Osmo 410 Clear: A standard protective oil without added biocides.

Osmo 420 Clear (Extra): Includes active ingredients (fungicides) specifically designed to prevent the growth of algae, mildew, and fungal attacks on the coating.

Q3. How many coats are required for full protection?

Untreated Wood: Two coats are required to achieve the full UV-protection factor of 12.

Maintenance/Top Coat: One coat is usually sufficient if applying over a previously colored or treated surface.

Q4. How much coverage can I expect per liter?

One liter covers approximately 194 square feet with a single coat.

Note: Actual coverage will vary based on how "thirsty" the wood species is and the texture of the surface (rough-sawn wood will soak up more oil).

Q5. When should I reapply the oil?

For vertical surfaces, a maintenance coat is typically needed every 3–4 years, depending on the degree of weathering.

High-Exposure Areas: Window sills or post caps may need attention sooner.

Maintenance Tip: No sanding is required before reapplication; just clean the surface and apply a fresh coat.

Q6. Can I use this on my deck?

No. While it is perfect for vertical surfaces like siding, fences, doors, and pergolas, it is not recommended as a stand-alone finish for horizontal surfaces with high foot traffic (like decks).
