Osmo UV Protection Oil (410)

Osmo UV Protection Oil 410 prolongs the renovation time significantly with a UV Protection Factor of 12 in comparison to untreated wood. Ideal for all exterior vertical wood surfaces such as doors, windows, window shutters, carports, timber cladding, balconies, smooth fences, pergolas and summerhouses.

• For additional protection against mould, algae and fungal attack, consider Osmo UV Protection Oil Extra which contains added biocides. For exterior use only
• Osmo UV Protection Oil is perfect as a UV resistant top coat over other coloured exterior wood oils from the Osmo range, including Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain and Osmo Country Colour

Please Note: Using this product on rough sawn or featherboard wood will significantly reduce it's coverage.

Ensure that wood to be treated is clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and other surface contaminates before application. This product is only suitable for bare wood or previously oiled wooden surfaces.

1. Surface coatings such as paints and varnishes must be fully removed back to clean, bare wood
2. Wood that has been previously oiled should be cleaned and lightly sanded. Do not sand finer than P120 grit
3. Fill any holes, gaps or imperfections with a suitable Osmo wood filler
4. Wood surfaces that have turned grey / silver can be restored with Osmo Wood Reviver Gel 6609
5. New wood or old wood that has been untreated for a number of years should first be treated with either Osmo WR Base Coat (4001), Osmo Wood Protector (4006), or another exterior wood preservative to provide additional protection
6. Ensure that any preservative treatment has been allowed to dry for the specified time before applying Osmo UV Protection Oil

Please Note: Osmo recommend that fresh wood containing extractives and especially hardwoods need to weather for approximately 6 weeks after installation before oiling.

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

1. Apply Osmo UV Protection Oil thinly and evenly along the wood grain with an Osmo Soft Tip Brush, Osmo Oil Finish Application Fleece or a lint-free cloth
2. Work the oil in to the surface of the wood grain
3. Wipe off any excess oil with a clean lint-free cloth
4. Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 12 hours
5. Apply a second coat as above

Please Note: Over applying the oil may result in extended drying times and in the worst cases a sticky or tacky finish. For best results, apply thinly.

Regular Cleaning

• For regular cleaning when applied to internal wood, use Osmo Spray Cleaner

Renovation

Depending on the level of weathering, apply 1 to 2 coats of Osmo UV Protection Oil approximately every 2 to 3 years on cleaned and intact wooden surfaces.

A shorter renovation period may be required if wooden surfaces are exposed to extreme weathering. This may also apply to horizontal surfaces where water cannot drain such as at the bottom of wooden doors and flat, un-angled window sills.

Q. It states in the Osmo leaflet that this product is for exterior use. Can it be used on the interior of a real wood conservatory as it gets full sun for much of the day and i would like to protect the colour of the timber.

A. Osmo UV Protection Oil 410 is classed by Osmo as an exterior product. This said however, we receive lots of positive feedback from customers who have used Osmo 410 on interior wooden surfaces such as window frames, sills and wooden conservatories.

Q. Can Osmo UV protection Oil 410 be used on conservatory or kitchen floors that are subjected to direct sunlight?.

A. The product advice from Osmo is that this product is not suitable for use on horizontal surfaces such as floors as it doesn't have the same durability as their interior Polyx Oil products. This said however, we are aware that some customers have used Osmo 410 on flooring then applied a coat of Osmo Polyx Oil over the top for added durability.
