While it works on kitchen walls, this emulsion is best suited for low-moisture areas; avoid using it directly behind sinks or stovetops.
Due to its quick-drying nature, it is generally ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature.
The chalky finish is delicate. It can be wiped gently with a soft, damp cloth, but heavy scrubbing may damage the matte texture.
For bare or highly porous surfaces, a primer is recommended to ensure even color distribution and longevity.
The coverage typically spans approximately 25-30 square meters per 2.5L tin, though this can vary based on surface porosity.
Ensure the surface was properly primed; apply a second coat if necessary after the first has completely dried.
Use a high-quality tool and maintain a 'wet edge' during application to ensure smooth transitions between sections.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. If the wall is porous, applying a suitable primer will improve the final adhesion and color uniformity. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. For maintenance, gently wipe surfaces with a damp cloth if marks appear, avoiding abrasive sponges that could disrupt the matte finish. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
