Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip

Surface Preparation

Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 18%).

Osmo Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip 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. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood (with Osmo Wood Filler).

Sand wood surfaces carefully. Begin with coarse sandpaper – final sanding work for flooring P120-150.

Before oiling the surface, remove sanding dust with a broom or vacuum cleaner.

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, Floor Brush or Microfibre Roller, apply thinly along the wood grain and spread well.

Allow to dry for approx. 8-10 hours under good ventilation.

After drying, quickly apply a second coat also thinly.

For renovation works on previously oiled surfaces, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.

Note: Osmo Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip cannot be evened out with a single disc machine.

Note

Oils enhance the natural tone of wood (permanent wet effect). Applying the product too generously and insufficient ventilation lead to delays in drying time.

Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip (3088) is distinguished by its satin smooth, yet non-slip surface. With Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip (3088), a slip resistance class R9 is achieved. Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip Extra (3089) is distinguished by its extremely high surface grip. Special granule additives provide the dried coating with a texture that enables a slip resistance class R11.

For dark and extractive-rich hardwoods (e.g. Wenge, Merbau, Jatoba etc.), we recommend using Osmo Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin or Osmo Polyx®-Oil 2K PURE ( these are not classed as anti-slip) . A trial application is recommended. Wood surfaces treated with Osmo Polyx®-Oil Anti-Slip are easy to maintain. Remove debris with a broom or a vacuum cleaner. To clean, add Osmo Wash and Care concentrate to mop water and clean the surface with a damp (not wet!) mop. To refresh surfaces, use Osmo Maintenance Oil ( R9) when necessary.

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 using the green Dust-Mop from the Osmo Mop Cleaning Kit for Floors. Damp mopping using Osmo Wash and Care or Osmo Spray-Mop.

Occasional Maintenance: For surfaces treated with the 3088 (R9) finish, apply a thin, lint free cloth coat of Osmo anti-slip Maintenance Oil 3098 ( R9) to the clean and dry surface.

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

Top Tips:

• For exotic hardwood species, use Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin (not classed as anti-slip) .
• Clear oils can darken the appearance of the wood. Trial application recommended first.
• Recommended application amount is 35ml/m²
• Application of second coat can be carried out as soon as the first coat has dried. Ensure plenty of ventilation for drying.
• A base coat of Osmo Wood Protector is recommended for use in bathrooms or kitchens.
• Using 1 x coat of a coloured Osmo finish (eg: Polyx Tints or Wood Wax Finish) beneath the Ant-Slip product is possible however, only 1 x coat of the Anti-Slip should be applied over the colour. Applying too much product could lead to the wood becoming saturated and a more slippery surface.
• Having 1 x top coat of the Anti-Slip product may not achieve the full R9 or R11 anti-slip properties.

Additional Information:

• Approx. coverage: 24m²/L with one coat
• No. of coats: 2 coats
• Application temperature: +5°C
• Drying time: 8-10hrs.
• Sizes: 0.125L, 0.750L, 2.5L

Osmo Polyx®-Oils are developed from natural oils and waxes to provide the most hardwearing and durable protection for wooden flooring and furniture.

Anti-Slip Polyx®-Oil is resistant to water, dirt and is very durable. Special granule additives ( in R11)  give texture to the dry finish and help to achieve a slip resistance up to R11 classification. The hardwax-oil finish retains the natural character of the wood, is microporous and does not crack, flake, peel or blister.
