Oslek LED Hardwax Oils
You will need a 395nm LED lamp
This oil does not dry in air. It hardens the moment a 395nm LED lamp passes over it, so without one the coating stays wet. That applies to the 3ml sachets as well as the tins.
New to Oslek? The Sample Pouch includes a mini LED torch, oil sachets and instructions, so you can test the whole system on your own timber. For site work, see the 50W Handheld LED Torch.
Our revolutionary LED Hardwax Oil is 99.4% VOC free, a penetrative coating containing a unique mix of oils, waxes, resins and additives. Our curing technology means that the coating cures and hardens instantaneously under LED light. When finished, surfaces are immediately resilient and protected against dirt and moisture.
What is LED hardwax oil?
LED hardwax oil is a wood coating made from oils, waxes and resins that hardens the moment it is exposed to a specific wavelength of LED light. Unlike traditional finishes that dry over hours or days, it cures in seconds, is 99.4% VOC free, and can be spot-repaired on site. Oslek manufactures its own LED Hardwax Oil, cured at a 395nm wavelength using a handheld or industrial LED lamp.
Independently tested
This oil has been tested to EN 71-3, the European toy safety standard, at Category III, and none of the nineteen regulated elements was detected. The full report is in the Downloads list below, alongside the slip resistance and fire test reports.
