OSMO UK’s fastest drying wood finish
Polyx®-Oil Express from Osmo
UK is a premium fast drying
wood finish guaranteed to
keep wooden surfaces in top
condition. Taking just 1.5 hours to
dry in between coats, Polyx®-Oil
Express offers flooring contractors,
specifiers, DIY enthusiasts and
consumers with a solution that
eliminates long downtime, whilst
still providing all the professional
features of a traditional oil-based
finish.
Ideal for solid wood and plank
wood flooring, blackstrip, OSB and
cork floors, as well as furniture,
Polyx®-Oil Express is a high quality,
water-repellent and dirt-resistant
wood finish based on natural
ingredients. It is the fastest drying
product that Osmo UK has ever
created. It dries within 1.5 hours in
between coats when used with the
Osmo UK 6632 Hardener.
Polyx®-Oil Express is available in
a clear-satin finish for a subtle,
noble shimmer that resembles satin
and emphasises the wood grain
modestly, and a clear-matt finish for
an almost completely natural look,
with light reflections diffused.
Osmo UK Polyx®-Oil Express is
also extremely easy to apply. Simply
mix the hardener into the finish and
then apply two coats thinly along
the wood grand with a natural
bristle brush or microfibre roller.
brush on to the wood surface to
achieve deep, long-lasting
penetration.
Offering all the professional
features of a traditional oil-based
finish, Polyx®-Oil combines the
smooth surface of conventional
lacquers, and the ease of application
of a water-based finish, while
managing to eliminate the inherent
disadvantages of these other types
of finish. Unlike ordinary oil finish
products which form a film on the
wood, Polyx®-Oil Express’ natural
components penetrate deeply into
the wood to create a micro-porous
finish. This allows the wood to
breathe, moisture to evaporate and
ensures a flawless finish both upon
application and for many years to
come.
After treatment the wood is
strengthened from within and
retains its elasticity. It becomes
water repellent, stain resistant and
more hard-wearing, because it meets
the wood’s natural demands and
does not crack, flake, peel or blister.

OSMO UK expands range of wood adhesives
Osmo UK, the eco-friendly
wood and finishes
specialist, has expanded its
range of wood adhesives
with a new durable product
developed for use in the home.
Introducing the D3 Express Wood
Adhesive, a ready to use water
resistant adhesive that is specially
formulated for use on interior and
exterior wooden furniture and
joinery.
The hard-wearing formula of the
D3 Express Wood Adhesive is
suitable for gluing all types of wood.
Developed not only to secure wood
to wood, the versatile adhesive can
fix paper, cardboard, and textilebacked
PVC to wood and board. D3
Express conforms to EN 204,
meaning that the adhesive can be
used on interior furniture with
frequent short-term exposure to
running and condensed water, or
heavy exposure to high humidity.
The excellent bond strength is
specially designed to suit moistureresistant
bonds. Outdoor timber
constructions such as window
frames and doors, if not directly
exposed to weather, can be bonded
with the D3 Express.
Application is made easy due to
the paste consistency. The D3
Express Wood Adhesive can be easily
applied using a mechanical glue
spreader, brush, hand roller, or air
activate glue gun. To achieve great
results, Osmo UK recommends that
prior to application, the surface is
clean and dry and that the product
is thoroughly mixed before use. This
will ensure that full water resistance
is achieved after 7 days.
