Osmo Uv Protection Oil Tints 2.5l

Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints is a transparent, lightly pigmented natural oil based wood satin finish for exterior use. Ideal for use on all vertical wood surfaces in outdoor areas: doors, windows, window shutters, carports, timber cladding, balconies, fences, pergolas, and summer houses. It is also suitable for bamboo poles (e.g. in screens).

Its microporous surface allows wood to breathe and reduces swelling and shrinkage. Creating a water-repellent surface that will not crack, peel, flake or blister, you can apply as top coat on already colour treated wood as Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Tints prolongs the renovation intervals significantly. Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints is rich with active ingredients to protect the coating against mould, algae and fungal attacks. Without sanding, you can simply recoat for an easy and seamless application.

Preparation and Application of Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints

For best results, we recommend that the surface is clean and dry. Do not thin the oil, simply stir with Osmo Stirring Sticks and apply using the Osmo Flat Brush or Microfibre Roller.

Depending on the degree of weathering, apply one coat of Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints to the cleaned and intact finish after approx. 3-4 years. For areas exposed to strong weathering, such as weatherboard, post caps or windowsills, 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, degrey the surface with Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel and refinish with 2 coats of Osmo UV-Protection Oil Tints. To achieve the UV protection factor 12, it is necessary to apply 2 coats of UV-Protection-Oil Tints. With only one coat on untreated wood, the life of the coating is significantly shorter. Osmo UV-Protection-Oil Tints is rich with biocides and therefore it is only suitable to be used in outdoor areas. The added active ingredients delay or minimize the risk of algae and fungal attack. For effective protection, two coats should be applied.
