Osmo Colour Foundation/Tints

Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints are resistant to water and dirt, very durable and smoothen wood surfaces. In comparison to conventional finishes, the natural vegetable oils and waxes allow for an even colouring and a harmonic, smooth surface result. Easy application – no need for a primer or sanding between coats – saves time and money. It meets the wood's natural
demands: It is microporous and does not crack, flake, peel or blister.  Resistant against wine, beer, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juice, milk and water in accordance with DIN 68861-1A (German industrial norm).  When dry, the finish is safe for humans, animals and plants (suitable for children's toys as per.  EN 71.3 (European norm) and fast to perspiration and saliva in accordance with DIN 53160(German industrial norm)).

Recommended use: Ideal for all interior wooden and cork floors as well as furniture

Preparation: Wood surface must be clean and dry (moisture content max. 20%). Polyx®-Oil
Tints are ready to use, please do no thin, stir well before use. Clean or slightly sand old
microporous finishes, remove old varnish (Osmo Paint Remover or by sanding). Small cracks,
larger dents and small holes in the wood can be filled with Osmo Woodfiller. Sand carefully
before application starting with a coarse paper – final sanding for flooring P120-150, furniture
P220-240. Remove dust etc thoroughly from the surface before application (vacuum cleaner).
Application:

• Transparent tint: Apply thinly and evenly along the wood grain with either an Osmo Floor Brush or the Osmo Microfibre Roller and spread well. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying. If a more intense colour tone is required a second coat can be applied (maximum two coats).
• Light leached effect: Wipe off after approx. 20 minutes using either a lint free cloth or white pad, going along the grain. Allow for good ventilation whilst drying.
• Intensive colour tone: For this we recommend using Osmo Wood Wax Finish. Important for floorings: A maximum of 1 coat of Polyx®-Oil Tints may be applied to a floor. After thorough drying a top coat of Osmo Polyx®-Oil clear must be applied. The final surface quality is dependent on the wood’s surface structure. We therefore always recommend to test the product on a small sample area before complete application. Cleaning of tools: Clean working utensils with Osmo Brush Cleaner (benzene-free). Drying time: approx. 24 hours (normal climatic conditions, 23°C/50%, rel. humidity). Lower temperatures and/or high humidity can increase the drying time. Note: We recommend using a colour tone which either matches that of the wood or darker, in any case a trial application is most definitely recommended. Natural oils accentuate the natural colour tone and grain of wood (permanent wet look). For dark hardwoods such as Wenge, Merbau, Jatoba etc. we recommend using Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin. Trial application is most definitely recommended. Caution: For cupboards, wardrobes and drawers, only 1 thin coat should be applied with a cloth. Caution: Keep out of the reach of children.
