Overview

Overview

Back

Dulux Trade Sterishield Diamond Matt is a tough and durable, anti-bacterial matt paint which inhibits bacteria and helps protect against MRSA and E. coli. Its water-based, quick drying formula is suitable for interior walls, drywall and ceilings, offering a high resistance to scratches, scuffs and stains.

Please note: This product may not be suitable where condensation is a problem e.g. kitchens and bathrooms. Dulux Trade Sterishield Diamond Eggshell is recommended in these areas.

Preparation

Preparation

Back

For best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.

  1. Remove all loose and defective paint with a paint scraper by sanding or with a paint stripper
  2. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead
  3. Where necessary, wash the surface to remove dirt, grease and powdery or dusty residues
  4. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry
  5. Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate filler
  6. If required, rub down surfaces and then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust
  7. Seal all surfaces that remain powdery after thorough preparation with an appropriate plaster sealer, or use Dulux Trade Stain Block Primer, which will also seal in any stains

Application

Application

Back

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

For best colour consistency, purchase sufficient paint for each project including enough for touch-in at a later time.

Do not use below 8°C or in areas of high humidity or condensation.

  1. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use
  2. Apply with a good quality synthetic brush, microfibre roller, conventional spray or airless spray system
  3. Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Sterishield Diamond Matt, up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
  4. The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Sterishield Diamond Matt
  5. For significant colour change, further coats may be required
  6. Allow 2 to 4 hours between coats and 4 hours to fully dry

Thinning Guidelines

  • Sealing new or bare surfaces: Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
  • Normal use: Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
  • Conventional spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 2.5 parts paint
  • Airless spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
