New Lee Valley Osmo Polyx Satin Pigmented Hard Wax Oil

Osmo is a leading German company that has been producing wood finishes since 1964. Made with ecological responsibility and sustainability in mind, their high-quality finishes use natural and readily renewable vegetable oils and waxes.

An excellent choice for interior woodwork, this easy-to-apply finish is beautiful and durable.

A blend of vegetable oils (sunflower, soybean and thistle) and waxes (carnauba and candelilla) combined with a small amount of low-odor solvent to improve workability, it has a low environmental impact. The finish provides protection comparable to varnish but is much more forgiving to apply – you can use a variety of methods (brush, roller, buffing pad or cloth), and a dust-free environment is not required. You don’t need to sand between coats, which also makes future repairs straightforward. This satin pigmented version has a small amount of white pigment to counter the amber tint of the finish on light-colored woods.

Osmo Polyx is hard-wearing and has excellent resistance to water, alcohol and mild acids, making it suitable for a range of applications, from flooring and furniture to high-moisture environments such as kitchens or bathrooms. Non-toxic once cured, the finish is safe for food contact and complies with European standards for child safety (EN 71.3).

Two coats recommended; dries in 8 to 10 hours. A high-yield finish, it provides an impressive coverage of 190 square feet per 750ml (25.5 fl oz) can.

Also available in matte and satin.
