Overview

Crown Trade Acrylic Eggshell is a premium-quality, fast-drying emulsion designed as a low-odour, virtually solvent-free alternative to traditional solvent-based eggshell paints. Ideal for interior broadwall areas and joinery, it offers a smooth, highly durable, and washable finish, making it perfect for high-traffic spaces. 

• Fast Drying & Low Odour
• Durable & Washable 
• LEED and BREEAM accredited 

Preparation

All surfaces must be sound, clean, suitably dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of the materials to be applied.

New Surfaces

• Porous surfaces should be coated with a ‘mist’ coat of Crown Trade Acrylic Eggshell diluted with 40% clean water by volume. Where clean water is not available, apply one coat of Crown Trade Covermatt Drywall Primer.
• Any areas of surface filling after priming should be touched in with the priming or mist coat diluted as for main areas.
• Powdery surfaces should be primed with one coat of Sandtex Trade Water Based Stabilising Solution.
• Polished or dense surfaces should be primed with Crown Trade PX3 Primer or where a water-based alternative is required Crown Trade PX4 Primer.

Previously Decorated Surfaces

• Remove all loose, failing or suspect paint. Feather edges of sound paint.
• Organic growth must be treated with Sandtex Trade Fungicidal Solution and removed.
• Fill any fixing holes, cracks and shallow surface defects with Sandtex Ready Mixed Filler.
• Patch prime bare, filled and powdery areas as for new surfaces above.
• Wash remaining sound paint with hot water and liquid detergent solution to remove any contaminants, frequently changing the water.
• Any glossy or eggshell surfaces should be wet abraded to provide a key.
• Rinse with clean water to remove all residues.
• Allow to dry.
• If after cleaning any areas are still contaminated with substances likely to cause staining and/or bleeding, patch prime with one coat of Crown Trade PX4 Primer.

Application

Stir well before use. For walls apply using a good quality fine filament synthetic brush, medium pile woven roller or airless spray (dilution may be required). For further information contact the Crown Trade Customer Relations Team. For joinery apply using a good quality fine filament synthetic brush. Always intermix packs for colour consistency. Please check for colouraccuracy prior to application.

Between maintenance redecoration, surfaces may be washed with a warm water and liquid detergent solution to remove surface dirt
