NBT 'Emulsion’
Wall and ceiling emulsion paint for internal use
‘NBT Trade Emulsion is a wall & ceiling paint for internal use only. It can be used on dry, porous and grease free surfaces e.g. wallpaper, plaster, and other painted surfaces. It may be used on timber suitably primed. It is not suitable for radiatiors.
Properties:
NBT Trade Emulsion is a matt emulsion. It is formulated for reduced environmental impact and health risks in comparison with standard acrylic or vinyl emulsions. Being solvent free, it has very low odour in application and drying. It has excellent covering properties and is easy to apply. It is highly vapour permeable (with a vapour resistivity (r) of 1175 MNs/gm). Please note that due to the uniquely low TiO2/resin formula the paint appears more translucent on first application than standard emulsion paints, although it will dry to a trade standard opacity. Once dry the surface can be wiped down.
Colour:
Standard colours - 19 plus white
