Osmo Polyx®-Oil Tints is a lightly tinted hardwax oil for timber floors, paneling, sarking, benchtops, cabinetry and joinery as well as other internal timber trim.
Provides a light "washed" effect, which will even out the colour variations in the timber's grain giving a more even finish. Available in 7 colour tones including white and black.
Normally one coat of Tint is applied to the timber followed by a clear top coat of Polyx Oil.
Where a deeper colour is needed, either Osmo Woodwax Transparent or Osmo Oil Stain are recommended rather than Polyx®-Oil Tints.
Food safe when cured, and easy to spot repair if needed. Highly fluid resistant, and meets European standards against saliva, water, tea, coffee, wine and cola etc.
Suitable for children's toys, cots and bassinets.
Available in 750ml and 2.5 litre containers.
Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints is an interior decorative and protective hardwax-oil for timber and wood-based surfaces: solid and engineered timber floors, plank and strip flooring, stairs, OSB and cork flooring, and furniture.
Specify it where a natural, microporous, lightly tinted, oiled finish is wanted — it is breathable, water- and dirt-repellent, resistant to wine, beer and cola (DIN 68861-1A) and will not crack, peel, flake or blister.
For interior use only. Not recommended for dark, extractive-rich hardwoods such as Wenge, Merbau or Jatoba — specify Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin instead. Where slip resistance is required, specify Polyx-Oil Anti-Slip (R11).

Osmo Polyx-Oil Tints is an interior decorative and protective hardwax-oil for timber and wood-based surfaces: solid and engineered timber floors, plank and strip flooring, stairs, OSB and cork flooring, and furniture. Specify it where a natural, microporous, lightly tinted oiled finish is wanted — it is breathable, water- and dirt-repellent, resistant to wine, beer and cola (DIN 68861-1A) and will not crack, peel, flake or blister.
Design for one coloured coat plus a clear top coat. Suitable for children's toys and safe for people, animals and plants once dry (EN 71.3). For interior use only.
Not recommended for dark, extractive-rich hardwoods such as Wenge, Merbau or Jatoba — specify Wood Wax Finish Clear Extra Thin instead. Where slip resistance is required, specify Polyx-Oil Anti-Slip (R11).
Apply only to interior timber that is clean, dry (max 20% moisture content) and frost-free. Sand with the grain, finishing at grit P120 (clear) or P120–150 (coloured), then remove all sanding dust, grease, oil and cleaning residues. Ideal conditions are 20–23 °C and 50–65% relative humidity; lower temperatures or higher humidity extend drying. Stir well and apply thinly and evenly with a brush, roller, pad or floor-buffing machine at approx. 30–40 ml/m² (up to 30 m²/L per coat); no primer is needed. Correct any excess within 30 minutes of the first coat. Allow to dry 8–10 hours (clear) or about 24 hours (coloured), with good ventilation, before applying a second thin coat. Two coats total; on floors apply one coloured coat then a clear top coat. Surfaces are walkable after about 24 hours; keep rugs and mats off for about a week until fully cured. Caution: oil-soaked cloths can self-ignite — dry them flat or store in a sealed metal container.
Osmo Polyx-Oil Original is easy to maintain and can be renewed without sanding back the existing finish. For routine care, sweep or vacuum, then mop with a slightly damp (not wet) mop using Osmo Wash and Care; avoid aggressive all-purpose cleaners, which strip the oil-wax layer. Refresh dull or high-traffic areas with Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner, or recoat with Osmo Maintenance Oil or clear Polyx-Oil, typically once or twice a year depending on wear. Repair scratches and small damage locally with Osmo Polyx-Oil Care and Repair Paste — no full re-sand is needed and repairs blend without visible transitions. After several years, or when heavily worn, clean with Osmo Intensive Cleaner and apply one thin coat of Polyx-Oil to restore protection. Maintenance intervals depend on the level of use and foot traffic.
