Crown Trade Clean Extreme Clean Air Scrubbable Matt contains air purifying technology that improves indoor air quality by removing up to 45% of the formaldehyde present from the air. In addition, the unique breatheasy formulation ensures only a trace of VOCs are emitted. Both of these aspects provide for a kinder environment during and after decorating.
The paint also performs to ISO Class 1 scrub ratings ensuring no compromise in the integrity or the appearance of the finished surface and provides durability and longevity of the decoration. New and aged stains can be easily cleaned away, returning walls to an "as new" condition - reducing the need for costly redecoration. This product provides the optimum opacity within a scrubbable formulation. Non scrubbable products may provide better opacity.
To achieve the best results it is important that all surfaces must be sound, clean, suitably dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied.
