Oslek LED Colour Pigments
Not a finish on its own
Pigments are concentrates. They are diluted into LED Hardwax Oil in Clear, and it is the mixed coating that goes on the timber.
Like every Oslek oil, the mix cures under a 395nm LED lamp rather than drying in air. See the 50W Handheld LED Torch for site work, or the 500W Industrial LED Light for panels and larger surfaces.
Oslek LED Colour Pigments are made for our own LED Hardwax Oil system. They give deep, consistent colour with good stability, they disperse smoothly, and they are fully compatible with LED curing, which not every pigment is. Eleven pigments, in 250ml, 500ml, 1 litre and 5 litre containers.
Colour matching, in minutes rather than days
This is what pigments are for. An existing floor you have to blend a repair into, a client sample, a fabric, a paint reference: you mix to it rather than picking the nearest tin and hoping. Because the oil cures the moment the lamp passes over it, you can mix, brush out a test piece, cure it and look at the finished colour inside a minute, then adjust and go again. With a conventional hardwax oil every one of those loops costs you a day of drying time.
We will share our recipes
So you are not starting from nothing, we can pass on the recipes for our standard colours. Ask us when you order and we will send them over. They are a useful starting point even when the target colour is not one of ours.
The range
Green 42, Violet 43, Blue 44, Transoxide Red 45, Transoxide Yellow 46, Yellow 47, Red 48, Black 49, White 50, Oxide Yellow 51 and Oxide Red 52.
Who these are for
Pigment mixing rewards experience, and we would not recommend starting here. If you have not done it before, our premixed colours are on the LED Hardwax Oils page, and we colour match to order if you would rather we did the mixing. If you do want to mix your own, the Professionals Pack bundles four pigments with everything else you need to get going.
The base is 99.4% VOC free
The Clear oil the pigments go into is 99.4% VOC free. Our standard colours are made the same way, from the same pigments and the same base, so a colour you mix yourself is no different in that respect from one that arrives premixed.
Weighing Oslek against something else first? We have put it side by side with Osmo, Bona, Rubio Monocoat, Fiddes and Treatex, using each maker's own published data sheets, including where their product is the better buy.

The surface coating that dries instantly
Oslek’s LED Hardwax Oil redefines what’s possible in timber coatings, with natural feel, beauty and durability, now with zero dry time. Our cutting-edge LED technology means that our Hardwax Oil dries and cures instantly - at the speed of light, literally.
99.4% VOC Free
Unlike traditional coatings that rely on the evaporation of solvents to dry, our LED Hardwax Oil cures through LED light activation. With almost no solvent to evaporate, there is next to nothing released during curing. The oil is 99.4% VOC free, so there is no lingering solvent smell and no need to keep the room ventilated for days afterwards.
Ideal for indoor environments, sustainable building standards, and applications where air quality is critical, such as Passive Houses, allergy-sensitive homes, and healthcare settings.
Manufactured in Australia
With over 15 years in the timber industry, we understand the importance of a quality, high-performing coating. That's why we manufacture our own coatings in Melbourne, Australia. Everything from R&D and pigment mixing to full scale production happens in house.
Vertical integration isn’t easy, but for us, it’s worth it. It means tighter quality control, reliable performance, and a product we stand behind from start to finish.
