QUESTIONS?

This advanced interior coating is a self-priming, multisurface, air purifying, low VOC, with enhanced mould resistance for the coating, designed for exceptional durability. With excellent washability, it represents the next evolution of our premium paint range.

No. This product is formulated exclusively for interior use and should not be applied to exterior surfaces or areas exposed to weather.

No. This product is not a knot blocking primer.

For resinous knots, tannin rich woods, or surfaces prone to staining, a dedicated stain blocking or knot sealing primer, such as Prime 1, must be used before applying this paint.

Yes. This product has been tested to EN71-3:2019+A1:2021, category III.
It evaluates:

· Migration of heavy metals

· Leaching of harmful chemicals

· Surface safety when touched or mouthed by children

Passing this test confirms that the paint does not release harmful substances once fully cured, ensuring the coating is safe for use in environments where children may come into contact with painted surfaces, such as bedrooms, playrooms, nurseries and furniture.

This paint is ideal for a wide range of interior applications, including:

•Living rooms, bedrooms and nurseries (thanks to toy/child-safe certification)

•Hallways and high‑traffic areas

•Kitchens and bathrooms (walls, wood and ceilings)

•Interior masonry, plaster, drywall, wood, MDF, and previously painted surfaces

It is not recommended for this purpose.

• This product has a matt finish, which is not ideal for high‑touch surfaces like cabinets.
• Kitchen cabinets require a harder, more durable, chemical‑resistant finish than a matt wall coating can provide.

For cabinets, Colourtrend Topcoat protect or Colourtrend satin or eggshell will deliver far better long‑term performance, resistance to oils, and ease of cleaning to ultra-high traffic areas.

This product will not adhere properly to:

• Silicone based surfaces (including silicone sealants, residues, silicone coated plastics or silicone contaminated areas). Silicone creates a nonstick surface that paint cannot adhere to. Any silicone sealant, residue, or contamination must be fully removed before painting. If not removed, the paint will peel or flake
  
• Unsealed or active resinous knots
  
• Oily or waxed surfaces
  
• Bare metal without appropriate priming
  
• Surfaces with persistent moisture or
  water ingress
  
• Unsound surfaces – extremely chalky or broken down that have not been stabilised

Silicone contamination is especially problematic - paint cannot bond to silicone, so any silicone must be fully removed before painting.

The formula contains advanced technology that allow it to bond to most interior surfaces without a separate primer.

However, specialty primers are still required for knots, stains, bare metal, and problematic substrates.

The coating is engineered for excellent washability. Tested to EN13300 for washability and coverage with Class 1 rating.

Preparation is critical. Even the most advanced paint cannot perform properly without correct prep. Skipping the basics will compromise adhesion, durability, and overall finish quality.

1. Cleaning

Remove dust, grease, oils, and contaminants.

Wash surfaces with a suitable cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

2. Sanding

Lightly sand glossy or smooth surfaces to create a key for adhesion.

Feather edges of repaired areas.

Remove all sanding dust before painting.

3. Repairing & Priming

Fill cracks, holes, and imperfections.

Prime where required:

o   Knots (this paint is not a knot blocker)

o   Stains or discolouration

o   Bare metal

The paint contains an active ingredient that helps reduce common indoor air pollutants (such as formaldehyde) immediately and over time. Test methods used to determine
reduction in formaldehyde is ISO 16000-3/16000-23.

Yes. The low VOC formulation supports healthier indoor air quality and produces minimal odour. Tested to ISO 11890-2, this coating contains <3 g/L VOC

Often no - but a primer is required for:

· Knots and tannin rich woods

· Silicone contaminated areas (after removal)

· Stains or discolouration

· Bare metal

Two coats provide the best coverage and durability for topcoat. If using as primer three coats required in total.

This paint can be applied using:

•    Brush

•    Roller

From our research and in‑house testing:

• The best coverage and hiding are achieved when using a high‑quality synthetic roller.

• Microfibre rollers, while popular, have been shown to reduce coverage when used with premium, high‑binder paints like this one.

• A high‑quality synthetic roller ensures:

• Better film build

• More even distribution

• Superior opacity

• Fewer roller marks

For the smoothest finish and optimal performance, we strongly recommend avoiding low‑density microfibre rollers with this product.

Use mild soap and water. The finish is designed to withstand frequent cleaning. Please note excessive scrubbing may polish up the finish, the coating is designed to have excellent stain release so excessive scrubbing is not necessary.

Yes - it can be tinted across a wide range of colours within our Colourtrend tinting system.

Yes, as long as the existing coating is clean, sound, and properly prepared.
