Select your required pack size and confirm your colour before ordering. The previous description named Shadow J496, but that should not be treated as the confirmed colour for every order. Assess a suitable physical colour sample in your own lighting rather than relying on screen images alone.

Where can it be used?

The supplied information describes use on interior walls and ceilings in homes, offices, schools and hotels. Listed substrates include plasterboard, gypsum, cement-lime plaster, concrete and suitable existing coatings. Check the current technical data sheet for the preparation system required by your specific surface. Do not treat general moisture resistance as approval for shower areas or persistently damp surfaces.

Preparation and painting

Make sure the surface is sound, clean and dry. Remove dirt and grease, repair irregularities and prepare glossy existing coatings as directed. Allow new plaster and concrete to mature and dry in accordance with current manufacturer guidance. Use Tikkurila Optiva Primer where specified for your substrate and existing coating.

Apply using the recommended tools, coat thickness and number of coats. Follow the current instructions for temperature, humidity and ventilation. Resolve underlying damp or contamination before painting.

Drying and cleaning

The supplied listing gives an indicative four-hour recoat time. Check the current technical data sheet before planning your work, because drying depends on conditions. Use the manufacturer's coverage guidance and your surface area to estimate quantities.

Allow the coating to develop its specified properties before washing. Follow the recommended cleaning methods and products: Class 1 scrub resistance does not mean every stain can be removed or that abrasive cleaning cannot damage the finish.
