Polyx Oil 3031 Clear Matte is a very low sheen version of the original Polyx Oil. It's great as a floor finish and also popular for furniture finishing. Osmo products meet Germany’s exacting standards for safety and have become popular for anything that someone might chew or eat from. Polyx-Oils are made of natural oils (sunflower, soybean and thistle) and waxes (carnauba and candelilla) plus a bit of low-odor, benzene-free solvent. Once dry, the finish is certified food contact safe under Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 of the European Parliament, making it a great choice for butcher block, counters, cutting boards, and children’s toys.
These environmentally friendly characteristics of Polyx-Oils stem from an approach that also focuses on the finish enhancing wood’s natural beauty, strengthening the wood grain rather than coating it with a plasticky-cover. Polyx Oil leaves the wood micro-porous and breathing, which enables it to perform well even in conditions of high humidity. Polyx-Oil 3031 offers very robust resistance to water and dirt and whatever liquids you can throw at its surface - coffee, red wine, tea, soda, grape juice, milk, etc.
Polyx-Oil is an extremely durable choice especially if you want to preserve the look and feel of natural wood. Apply the first coat to clean, sanded wood. Let it dry for 8 - 10 hours and then apply the second coat. For interior use only. Made in Germany.
