Osmo UV Protection Oils are clear, UV rated oils for new timber joinery, garden furniture, doors, window frames, cladding and other vertically structured joinery. Not recommended for horizontal surfaces such as timber decking.
OSMO UV Protection Oil Tinted is a lightly coloured oil designed for exterior timber joinery, garden furniture, pergolas, doors, fascias, and other trim. It is not suitable for use on horizontal surfaces such as decking. The microporous surface allows the wood to breathe, reducing swelling and shrinkage, while also slowing the greying process on vertical surfaces with a UV protection factor of 12.
The finish contains biocides to prevent mould, algae, and fungal attack. It is available in 5 lightly tinted colour tones plus "Natural", which is recommended for light coloured timbers such as pine and oak. However, it is not suitable for use on darker timbers as the white pigment may give the timber a chalky appearance.

OSMO ADVICE
On a 2 coat application, the UV Protection Oils block the greying process of the timber by a UV protection factor of 12, when compared with untreated timber. All untreated exterior timber will grey off over time, but UV Protection oil has been developed to slow the greying process.
However, in Australia, due to the high level of UV rays, the clear UV Protection Oils have a lifespan of 4 - 6 months in fully exposed weather conditions, and 12-18 months in areas that are totally weather protected. For longer protection, we recommend using one of the tinted UV Oils, tinted Decking Oils or Natural Oil Woodstain.
