Polyx®-Oil Express is a 2 component, fast drying clear finish Polyx®-Oil for professional users. Designed specifically for oily and resinous timbers such as Matai, Spotted Gum, Heart Rimu, Totara and Kwila.
Also recommended for use in wet areas, and areas where time is an issue - such as restaurants, cafes and public places.
A very fast drying finish, when combined with the Polyx®-Oil Express Hardener. When combined, the pot life will be approximately 90 minutes, and the finish will be dry in approximately 1-2 hours.
May be used with or without the Hardener.

Available in 750ml 2.5 litre and 10 litre containers
Osmo Polyx-Oil 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 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 Express 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 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. Select the sheen (gloss, satin, matt or semi-matt) and a clear or coloured option to suit the design; on floors, 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. Mix in the required level of hardener and stir well. Pot time is ~30 minutes. 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) with good ventilation, before applying a second thin coat. Two coats total; 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 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.
