Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk

Based on unique AkzoNobel technology Dulux Trade Vinyl Silk Paint is a water-based emulsion that is perfect for interior walls and ceilings. It offers a tough, durable silk finish that is washable making it ideal for busy household and commercial environments.

• For a mid-sheen emulsion paint finish, use Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen
• For a low-sheen emulsion paint finish, use Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt
• For an ultra low-sheen emulsion paint finish, try Dulux Trade Durable Flat Matt

For best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry).

1. Remove all loose and defective paint with a scraper, sandpaper or by using 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 wood filler
6. If required, rub down surfaces and then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust
7. Seal surfaces that remain powdery after thorough preparation with an appropriate plaster sealer, or use Dulux Trade Stain Block Matt, which will also seal in any stains

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.

Do not apply in temperatures below 8°C. For best colour consistency, purchase sufficient tinted paint for each job, including touch-in, at one time from the same source.

1. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during use
2. Apply Dulux Trade paint 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 Vinyl Silk (up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint)
4. Apply 2 full coats on new or previously unpainted surfaces
5. 1 coat of Dulux Trade paint may be sufficient on previously painted surfaces in good condition where similar colours have been used
6. Allow 3 hours to fully dry

Thinning Guidelines

• Sealing new or bare surfaces: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
• Normal use (not to be exceeded): Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
• Conventional spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
• Airless spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
