Description
Zinsser Perma-White mould resistant interior paint contains a biocode that protects the dried coating against fungal degradation. The paint film is designed to resist cracking, peeling and blistering for up to 7 years before first maintenance.
Zinsser Perma-White bonds to existing solvent-based or glossy paints. Perma-White also seals flat paint, new drywall, cement block and concrete. It is ideally suited for any area of persistent high humidity, frequent temperature changes and poor air circulation.
- Perma-White Interior Matt Paint – Recommended for application in high-humidity areas where a durable, low sheen finish is desired such as finished basements and kitchens. (This finish was previously known as Eggshell.)
- Perma-White Interior Satin Paint – A scrubbable, satin finish recommended for high-humidity areas that are subject to challenging wear and tear. Ideal for bathrooms and laundry rooms.
Preparation
- Surfaces must be clean, sound and free of dirt, dust, grease, wax, wallcovering adhesive, soap film, loose paint or other surface contamination.
- Remove all existing mould and mildew before painting, such as with Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover.
- If you are concerned about mould and mildew behind walls, underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other unseen areas, contact a professional who specializes in mould and mildew remediation.
- For commercial buildings and schools follow appropriate guidelines for mould removal.
- Clean surfaces with a solution of one-cup household bleach per gallon of water or a quality biocidal wash.
Application
- Shake or stir well before using.
- Apply with synthetic bristle brush, roller, pad applicator or sprayer.
- For airless spraying, use a .017 tip and high medium (2000-2600 PSI) pressure.
- Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 10?and 32?C and humidity is less than 80%.
- Zinsser Perma-White is designed to be used as is. If thinning is necessary (such as with conventional sprayer applications), use only water and no more than 10% by volume.
- 2 coats are required for proper performance and mould and mildew-resistance.
