Crown Silk Vinyl Emulsion is a premium co-polymer emulsion paint with a sleek silky finish, known for its durability and washability. It’s perfect for household areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and passages, as well as commercial spaces like hospitals and food processing areas. It can be applied on various surfaces including plaster, stone, timber, and wallboards.
This paint is formulated with high-quality pigments, offering a tough, washable finish with an attractive silk appearance. It’s quick-drying, low odor, and doesn’t require special primers or thinners, making it easy to apply and more cost-effective than oil-based paints. It provides a semi-gloss sheen finish and can be applied using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment.
For application, it’s supplied ready to use and can be thinned with clean water if necessary, although over-thinning should be avoided as it may affect opacity. The spreading capacity varies depending on the surface type, whether new or previously painted.
It comes in a range of pastel colors available on the Crown dispensing system, and is offered in pack sizes of 1 liter, 4 liters, and 20 liters. It’s readily available from Crown Depots in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu, as well as through Crown Stockists.
The unique selling points include its tough washable high sheen finish, quick-drying water-based formula, good opacity, excellent color retention, and easy application. The specifications for application on new or previously painted surfaces are provided, along with guidelines for surfaces in sound condition or poor condition, as well as previously gloss painted surfaces.
It’s important to note that when overcoating a dark surface or when a distinct color change is desired, applying a coat of Crown Vinyl Matt Emulsion prior to Crown Silk Vinyl Emulsion is recommended for better color coverage. For safety information, users should refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
