UVIWAX® UV-Protection

Surface Preparation

Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%, coating temperature at least +10°C).
Osmo Uviwax® UV-Protection is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works.
Degrease very resinous woods (e.g. Larch) with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner.
Osmo Uviwax® UV-Protection is to be used alone and solely applied to raw wood. If necessary, sand wood again with fine sandpaper.
Wood treated with Osmo Uviwax® UV-Protection generally only need to be cleaned and recoated.
The finished surface is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.

Method of Application

With Osmo Flat Brush apply thinly, quickly and evenly along the wood grain and spread well, or use a spray coating method.
Allow to dry for approx. 3-4 hours under good ventilation.
If necessary, sand surface with fine sandpaper (grit P360) before applying the second coat.
After drying, apply a second coat also thinly and quickly.
For renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.

Note

Uviwax® UV-Protection is to be used alone. Please do not dilute or mix with other finishes.
If a surface treated with Uviwax® UV-Protection should be recoated in a different colour, we solely recommend using Osmo Interior Wax.

Using general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating. Allow finish to fully cure before heavy usage.

Care

Regular Cleaning: Dust mopping. Damp mopping using Osmo Spray-Cleaner.

Recoating: Simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.
