Product Description

Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell is a tough and cleanable emulsion with a smooth, even mid sheen finish. Magnolia and Tinting Bases contain Anti-Fade Technology to protect colour pigment from damage for truly long lasting colour and beautiful results. It's perfect for busy environments that require frequent cleaning as it contains unique Stain Repellent Technology, preventing stains from setting in to the surface and making cleaning up easier. It also protects against common scuffs and achieves Class 1 ISO 11998 and Type C BS 7719 scrub ratings, meaning walls withstand daily wear and tear and the finished job looks freshly painted for longer.

Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell can be used over surfaces previously decorated with solvent-based paints, providing proper surface preparation is carried out. Suitable for interior use on walls, ceilings, masonry and wood.

Application Description

Application: Brush, roller or spray. STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE. Surfaces should be mist coated with an appropriate Dulux Trade product: Dry Wall Primer Sealer on bare surfaces and Diamond Matt or Vinyl Matt as a thinned first coat on previously painted surfaces. The normal finishing process is 2 full coats of Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell, however for significant colour change additional coats may be required. To achieve the most durable and lower sheen finish on wood, we recommend using Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood.
Airless Spray: For best results use a 517 Low pressure tip with an operating pressure of 1300 – 1700 psi. (89-117 bar).
Alternatively, use a 517 tip with an operating pressure of 2000 – 2400 psi (138-165 bar).
Please note that the above recommendations are intended as a guideline only and some adjustments may need to be made to accommodate equipment type & age, substrate type and individual site & atmospheric conditions.
