Osmo UV Protection Oil - 428 Cedar 750ml Description

Osmo UV Protection Oil is a superior exterior oil that blocks the greying effect of the Sun’s UV rays by a factor of 12. It offers superb durability alongside biocide protection against insects and fungal growth.

ADVANTAGES

• Very water and dirt resistant
• Reduces wood swelling and shrinkage
• 410 Clear is safe for humans, plants and animals once dry
• 420 Clear contains biocides to resist the growth of algae, mildew and fungal attack
• Microporous, breathable finish – does not crack, peel, flake or blister
• No sanding necessary for future applications

TIPS

• For ingredient-rich wood species (such as Cedar, Iroko, Teak, Mahogany etc.) – please allow minimum 12 weeks exposure in situ to the outside elements prior to application.
• UV-Protection Oils are recommended only for vertically structured timber (drip angle min. 10º) to enable the rain to drip off rather than stay on the wood’s surface for prolonged lengths of time.
• Over application and/or low ventilation can increase the drying times.
• The high-energy UV rays of the sun destroy the lignin in wood: it greys. Up to now, only wood finishes with colour pigments could possibly prevent this effect. With Osmo UV-Protection Oil, you have the possibility to protect your wood almost invisibly. UV-Protection Oil contains special ingredients that stall the greying effect by 12 times (UV factor 12). For a reliable UV protection, the wood finish must be applied more generously than other wood stains from Osmo.
• Recommended application amount is approx. 55 ml/m².
• So that no micro-organisms, like mould, algae or moss, can stick to a wood finish and cause unsightly discolourations, biocidal active ingredients for a superficial film protection can be added.

MORE DETAILS

The Osmo UV Protection Oil has been designed in order to combat the greying effects of the Sun’s UV rays. Many woods like oak, teak and iroko to name just a few will become grey or silver over time and this oil will slow down that greying process by a factor of 12 when compared to natural wood. Normally the Sun’s rays can penetrate through the clear coatings and bleach the wood below but this product contains special ingredients to combat this. The ‘Extra’ contains Biocide which is a combination of insecticide and fungicide making it ideal for outside use.

This product is micro-porous, thus allowing the wood to breathe. Because the oil does not form a seal on the surface of the wood it cannot peel, flake, crack or blister. It is based on natural oils and offers a very clear, natural effect when compared to other ‘clear’ oils and penetrates into the wood grain aiding the natural elasticity of the wood and helping to reduce shrinkage and swelling.
