Jax Oleum

Jax Classics has been in operation since 1992, that’s 30 years of locally handcrafted products. We also manufacture Jax Oleum, a single coat, oil-based wood stain, deck oil and other related products such as varnishes and cleaners. After many years of research and development to perfect the product, we were excited to launch it in July 2014.

We saw an opportunity in the market, for locally manufactured, competitively priced, high quality wood oil that would be able to compete with the existing imported brands. We have managed to do this, based on price, quality, colour choice and friendly service.

Another important factor is that we wanted it to be environmentally friendly and manufactured with the highest quality raw materials. We have achieved this with a low VOC product that is most importantly ‘Global Greentag Certified’, which is the world’s most robust, trusted and widely recognised eco labels. We are also certified by the Green Building Council of South Africa.

In one easy application Jax Oleum will protect, nourish and colour, all natural, uncoated wood. It reacts with the upper layers of the wood, penetrating and sealing in the colour, nourishing and protecting the wood in one easy step. The product is durable, has a high resistance to water, heat and sunlight, but is not waterproof. To further protect and seal the oiled surface, we have a 2K Matt Varnish, but most brands of varnishes and sealants work well over our oil, once fully dry.

Easy to use

Jax Oleum is really simple to use. Once the wood has been sanded and cleaned you simply oil the surface by hand, leave it to penetrate the upper layers of the wood for a few minutes and then wipe off the excess. You can change the colour of any natural wood product, enhancing the grain and transforming the look completely. Jax Oleum works on flooring, doors, window frames, furniture, roof trusses, gum poles, latte and more, while at the same time treating it and increasing its longevity. We have over 70 colours available, which range from shades of whites, grey’s, browns and blacks, as well as bright colours, giving our clients endless options. Our colours can be mixed to create unique tones to match up to any existing piece of furniture.

Jax Oleum can be used indoors and outdoors, and it is a very costeffective product, as one litre covers up to 50m², depending on the type of wood and its preparation. To increase the lifespan and further protect the wood, our maintenance oils are recommended for an annual application.

We have exhibited at a number of hand-picked expos and wood festivals to expose our products into the right industries. The response and acceptance of the Jax Oleum has been overwhelming, supplying to large furniture manufacturers, flooring companies, shop fitters and property developers, confirming that we are on the right track and have a great product. We continue to grow thanks to our awesome clientele.
