Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid 3240 White Transparent Satin

Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid 3240 White Transparent

Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid 3240 is a fast-drying, white transparent hardwax oil with a satin finish. Its white pigmentation helps reduce the warm or yellow appearance normally created by clear oils while allowing the natural grain and character of the wood to remain visible.

This is not an opaque white coating. The final colour depends on the timber species, original wood colour, sanding sequence and amount applied. Always produce a representative test area before treating the complete surface.

Osmo 3240 is suitable for wooden floors, parquet, stairs, OSB, cork, furniture and other interior wooden surfaces. Once dry, its combination of oils and waxes provides durable protection against everyday moisture, dirt and wear.

Important: apply two coats of Osmo 3240

On untreated wood, use Osmo 3240 as a complete two-coat system:

• Apply one very thin coat of Osmo 3240

• Allow approximately 8–10 hours of drying time

• Apply a second thin coat of Osmo 3240

• Do not finish the surface with a clear Polyx-Oil

Applying a clear topcoat can make a white finish appear warmer or more yellow. For a consistent white transparent result, apply two thin coats of the same 3240 product.

White pigment can appear different or uneven on dark, tannin-rich or extractive-rich timbers. Always check the colour and adhesion on a test area first.

This product is not intended for concrete, stone, tiles or terracotta. Use the appropriate specialist Osmo finish for these mineral surfaces.

Surface preparation

The wood must be clean, dry, frost-free and free from dust, grease, wax and sealed coatings. The moisture content of the timber must not exceed 18%.

Completely remove old paint and lacquer coatings. Sand wooden floors evenly to approximately P100–P120. Furniture can be sanded to approximately P120–P180, depending on the desired finish.

A coarser sanding sequence will normally create a stronger white effect. Finer, consistent sanding generally produces a calmer appearance. Carefully remove all sanding dust before application.

Applying Osmo 3240

Stir the product extremely thoroughly before and during application. White pigment can settle at the bottom of the container and must be redistributed completely.

Apply Osmo 3240 very thinly and evenly in the direction of the wood grain. Use a suitable microfibre roller, flooring brush or professional brush shown with the related application products on this page.

Distribute the oil carefully within 10–15 minutes. Avoid thick applications, overlaps and puddles. Excess product can cause an uneven colour and considerably extend the drying time.

Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 8–10 hours with good ventilation. Apply a second thin coat of Osmo 3240 in the same manner. Intermediate sanding is not normally required.

Drying and curing

Under normal conditions, allow approximately 8–10 hours of drying time for each coat. Low temperatures, high humidity, inadequate ventilation or excessive application will extend the drying time.

Treat the finished floor carefully during the first few days. Full curing takes approximately two to three weeks. Do not cover the floor with rugs or other non-breathable materials during this period and avoid moisture and intensive cleaning.

Coverage

One litre of Osmo Polyx-Oil Rapid 3240 covers approximately 24 m² with one thin coat. Actual coverage depends on the timber species, surface absorption, sanding and application method.

Maintaining the white finish

Use Eco Multi Cleaner for normal weekly hygienic cleaning. Use Osmo Wisch-Fix separately when the existing oil and wax finish requires additional care.

For periodically refreshing white or lightly finished surfaces, we recommend Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner White 3087. Its white pigmentation helps retain the light appearance of the finish.

Important safety information

Provide sufficient ventilation during application and drying. Keep the product out of the reach of children and always follow the safety instructions on the container.

Cloths, pads and application materials containing oil residue can generate heat and self-ignite. Immediately spread them outside to dry completely or store them under water inside a sealed metal container.
