Osmo UV-Protection Oil / Extra

The high-energy UV rays of the sun destroy the lignin in wood & make it grey over time. Up to now, color pigmented wood finishes could possibly prevent this effect. Osmo UV-Protection Oil is a unique clear wood finish which maintain the wood's natural color and slow the greying process almost invisibly. It contains special ingredients that stall the greying effect by (UV factor) 12 times in comparison to untreated wood when two coats are applied. As top coat on already color treated wood, it prolongs the renovation intervals significantly. Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Extra is furnished with active ingredients to protect the coating against mold, algae and fungal attack.
Ideal for windows, doors, cladding, fencing and other vertically structured joinery (not recommended on flat surfaces such as decking).

Ultimate clear protection for vertical exterior wood against the greying effects of UV damage.

Tips:

  • Recommended application: 55 ml/m² per coat.
  • Wet coating can be corrected up to 15 min.
  • Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%).
  • Thoroughly clean or lightly sand old microporous stains or completely remove old varnishes before application.
  • For areas exposed to strong weathering, such as weatherboard, post caps or window sills, please expect significantly shorter renovation intervals.
  • 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, clean the surface with Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel and refinish with 2 coats of Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Extra.
  • To achieve the UV protection, it is necessary to apply 2 coats of UV-Protection-Oil Extra. With only one coat on untreated wood, the life of the coating is significantly shorter.
  • Due to high oil content, the coating has a light yellowing effect when used as a top coat on white substrates. Therefore, we recommend using Natural Oil Woodstain 900 White as a top coat in such cases.
  • For new resinous wood species (such as Cedar, Iroko, Teak, Mahogany etc.), please allow approx. three months exposure to the outside elements prior to application.
  • Oak contains a high acid content within its natural tannin and as a result causes the timber to blacken during exposure to cold and moist environments - especially during the winter periods. More frequent care and maintenance is required, particularly in its first couple of years of exposure to the elements, to maintain its decorative appearance.
