For years now Osmo has also been working to develop products which are completely free from solvents (VOC's), as a result of this research the Osmo "Full Solid" range of products was launched, Osmo is still striving to develop this technology further for the years to come.Choosing your hardwood floors finish can be a challenging endeavor, especially with so many different options to choose from. Osmo has been working for many years with "High Solid Products" which contain only a small amount of solvent. The inorganic pigments used for Osmo Color are created from natural ores, these are cleaned and refined until a level of physiological purity has been achieved and only a pure mineral element remains. Osmo uses carefully harvested natural oils (sunflower, soya, linseed and thistle oil) and hard waxes (carnauba and candellila wax) for its finishes. The dry finish fulfils both the DIN EN 71.3 (suitable for children's toys) and DIN 53160 (fast to perspiration and saliva) and as such is safe for humans, animals and plants. The foundation of Osmo wood finishes has been based upon purified and refined natural resources throughout the last 30 years. Osmo products are distributed by more than 2500 specialist dealers in Germany and in numerous countries in Europe and all over the world. The principal office is located in Warendorf and the production takes place in Warendorf and Münster, Germany. It may be that sanding is required and re-application is recommended, if this still does not resolve the situation. The best way to rectify this - especially for over-application - is to go over the surface with white spirit and a cloth to remove the excess and to help the penetration as much as possible. On some timber species such as Matai and Rimu we have known it to take up to several weeks in the scenarios mentioned above. We can assure you that the finish will eventually dry. Externally, we recommend to leave oily or dense woods exposed to the elements for at least 3-5 months prior to application. We recommend Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin for these types of wood internally only.

The best way to rectify this is to open the windows and doors to provide additional ventilation so that the finish can dry naturally by oxidation.Īnother cause could be from an old or previous existing finish which is blocking or slowing the penetration.Įxtremely dense or high oil content such as (tropical hardwoods) Kwila, Iroko or Mahogany will also hinder drying. If there is an excess amount of finish on the surface, there will be no more space in the wood for the finish to be able to penetrate into, which can create a tacky or sticky surface. The most common cause for this is over-application. There are a number of possible causes for this to happen. Extended drying times is caused from slow penetration of the finish into the wood.
