500ml Owatrol Floetrol Paint Additive Waterborne Acrylic Paint Conditioner

Floetrol is a water-based paint conditioner which makes interior and exterior emulsion and acrylic paints including coloured wood stains work more like oil-based paints. It helps to improve paint flow and workability and allows the paint to adjust to more difficult conditions such as hot, cold and windy environments. Arguably most importantly, it helps to eliminate brush and roller marks by improving the flow of the paint giving a much more professional finish and helping you to make progress more quickly. Unlike damaging paint thinners, Floetrol does all this without affecting the inherent qualities of the paint and without affecting its colour. When used in a paint sprayer, Floetrol allows up to 20% reduction in pressure without affecting the spray pattern or performance and helps to prevent clogging and wear and tear on tips.

Ideal Uses for Floetrol:-

Exterior painting in hot, cold or windy weather

Using a paint spray gun for Floetrol helps to extend its life by reducing wear and tear

Helping paint to flow with no brush and roller marks

Reducing roller pressure and preventing paint build up at the ends of the roller

Providing a spray-like finish when rolling
