Wood can take on color – and still remain wood.
Three functions. One product. OLI-NATURA® COLOUR Hard Wax Oil is a pigmented oil-wax combination. Vegetable oils impregnate the wood from the inside, carnauba wax additionally protects the surface, and lightfast color pigments provide a natural, transparent color effect.
Color and protection in one step. Open-pored, robust, and without a lacquer-like finish – for natural wood surfaces indoors.
Which woods and applications are suitable for OLI-NATURA® COLOUR Hard Wax Oil?
OLI-NATURA® COLOUR Hard Wax Oil is the right choice when the color of the wood needs to be changed and protected at the same time – without prior staining and subsequent separate finishing. This saves an additional work step.
Whether for furniture, dining tables, kitchen countertops, stairs, doors, wall paneling, or windowsills – the pigmented hard wax oil is suitable for almost all wood types and wood-based materials indoors, including solid wood, glulam, veneer, plywood, multiplex, OSB, bamboo, and cork.
Should light woods remain as light as possible? Cotton White reduces the natural darkening effect and yellowing – ideal for a bright Scandinavian look. Light White visibly brightens even further. For colorless protection, OLI-NATURA® Hard Wax Oil Natural is the suitable choice.
What does wood look like after OLI-NATURA® COLOUR Hard Wax Oil?
The natural wood appearance is preserved. Grain and structure remain visible and tangible – only the color changes.
The subsequent color effect results from the interplay of wood and oil. Wood type, inherent color, and sanding determine how the same color tone will appear. Therefore, a sample on the original wood provides the most reliable representation of the color. All color tones are also available as samplers.
Cotton White reduces the natural darkening and yellowing on light woods. Light White visibly brightens further. Dark color tones appear stronger on light woods, while light color tones appear correspondingly more subtle on dark woods. All color tones are intermixable and can be individually softened with OLI-NATURA® Hard Wax Oil Natural. A second coat intensifies the color effect; with OLI-NATURA® Hard Wax Oil Natural, it is maintained.
Lightfast color pigments slow down the natural color change of the wood due to UV light and help to preserve the color effect for as long as possible.
How easy is OLI-NATURA® COLOUR Hard Wax Oil to apply?
It is easy and uniform to apply. For furniture, one coat is usually sufficient. For stairs and heavily used countertops, a second coat is recommended – without intermediate sanding.
Hard wax oil is not a lacquer. Apply thinly – that's enough. The surface is durable, dirt- and water-repellent, and easy to maintain. Scratches and signs of wear can be selectively repaired or simply refreshed at any time – without sanding. The oil does not crack, peel, or flake. If the color is to be maintained, the second coat should be applied with OLI-NATURA® Hard Wax Oil Natural.
What can you rely on with OLI-NATURA® COLOUR Hard Wax Oil?
After complete curing, the surface is safe for humans, animals, and plants. It remains open-pored and breathable, contributing to a pleasant indoor climate. Suitable for children's toys. For kitchen countertops, OLI-NATURA® Hard Wax Oil Natural is recommended as a topcoat.
