Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil

Product Criteria

Design requirements

Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil (430) is a clear, slip-resistant top-coat oil for exterior timber decking, steps and walkways where enhanced underfoot grip is required - decks, pool surrounds, ramps and stair treads in Bangkirai, Massaranduba, Garapa, Larch, Douglas Fir, Pine and similar woods, on smooth, ribbed or grooved boards. Specify it as the top coat over a pigmented Osmo Decking-Oil base coat, which provides the colour and UV protection; 430 is not a stand-alone finish and must not be used over clear Decking-Oil 007 Teak. A compressed organic non-slip additive provides slip resistance (tested to AS 4586:2013 - see the compliance statement), and the coating carries film protection against mould, algae and fungal growth. Design the base colour to suit the timber species and setting. For interior slip-resistant floors and stairs, specify Osmo Polyx-Oil Anti-Slip instead.

Installation requirements

Apply to clean, dry exterior timber that has weathered sufficiently (resinous softwoods and dense hardwoods must weather before the first coat) and is free of old coatings, dirt and mill glaze; clean and de-grey beforehand with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel or Decking Cleaner as needed. Apply the system in two stages: first a pigmented Osmo Decking-Oil base coat on raw wood at approx. 35-45 ml/m2, left to dry ~12 hours; then the Anti-Slip Decking Oil top coat at approx. 35-45 ml/m2 (approx. 24 m2/L). Stir 430 thoroughly and regularly during use to keep the non-slip additive evenly suspended, and apply thinly and evenly along the grain by brush or roller. Recoatable after ~12 hours; ventilate and protect from rain until dry. Do not apply over Decking-Oil 007 Teak. Caution: oil-soaked cloths can self-ignite - dry flat or store in a sealed metal container.

Maintenance requirements

Keep decking clean to preserve both appearance and slip resistance: regularly remove leaves, dirt and organic debris and wash with water and Osmo Decking Cleaner, working along the grain; avoid aggressive or film-forming cleaners that could reduce grip. Where the surface has greyed or the finish has worn, clean and de-grey with Osmo Wood Reviver Power-Gel, allow to dry, then re-oil. Osmo Decking-Oil systems refresh without sanding or a primer - normally one maintenance coat of pigmented Decking-Oil followed by a coat of Anti-Slip Decking Oil restores colour, protection and slip resistance. Whenever the surface is recoated, re-establish the Anti-Slip top coat so slip resistance is maintained. Frequency depends on exposure, wear and foot traffic - typically once a year on well-used or weather-exposed decks.
