OSMO RAW

At VCS, we offer a strong recommendation for the utilization of Polyx®-Oil Raw, particularly for its efficacy in mitigating the yellowing effect commonly observed in timber. This product is meticulously designed to preserve the authentic, untreated appearance of light-coloured timber, making it an ideal choice for timber floors, furniture, as well as interior features like panelling, sarking, and trim.

It is important to acknowledge that Osmo Polyx®-Oil Raw incorporates a minimal amount of white pigment, approximately 2%, which is strategically used to counteract the undesirable ‘wet-look’ that can manifest after the application of a clear finish. This attribute, however, renders the product less suitable for use on darker timbers, particularly those that are brown or red in hue, as the white pigment may alter the natural coloration of these materials.

In summary, Polyx®-Oil Raw is a highly recommended product for light-coloured timbers, designed to maintain their natural aesthetics while providing protection and durability. Its specific formulation is not appropriate for darker timbers due to the inclusion of white pigment.

Additional Advice:

Polyx®-Oil Raw is a priming oil designed to reduce/slow down the natural yellowing of timber. Polyx®-Oil Raw contains a small quantity of white pigment, which counters this yellowing of the wood’s colour, leaving the surface looking as near to natural as possible.

One thin coat will keep the timber looking “Raw” as though it had nothing on it. For interior use only. It’s uses include wooden flooring and wall paneling, and furniture. It is only suitable for use on light coloured wood species such as oak, pine, spruce, douglas fir and poplar etc. It is not recommended for use on dark timbers such as some rimu, jarrah and kwila, as it may give a chalky appearance to the timber.
