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.

Tips & Advice

1. Preparing the Surfaces

To get the best results with Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell, make sure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry). See Dulux Trade Datasheet 408 for full information before use, available free on request by telephoning 0333 222 70 70 or visiting duluxtrade.co.uk. Before surface preparation, read the Health & Safety information about old lead paints.
2. After use

Cleaning After Final Use: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after final use to reuse them for future projects, saving you money and reducing waste. Cleaning Steps: 1. Remove Excess Paint: Scrape off leftover paint into a container for reuse. 2. Wash with Warm, Soapy Water: Clean brushes and rollers with warm soapy water in a sealed container like a bucket or tub. 3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse out all soap and paint residues into the same container. 4. Dry Naturally: Let tools air-dry and store in a dry, dust-free area. Dispose Responsibly: Settle Solids: Let paint solids settle at the bottom of the container. Pour off clear water for reuse or disposal. Disposal: Let remaining paint solids dry fully before disposing of them as solid waste. Do not flush paint down the drain, including when cleaning painting tools Pro Tip: Watch this cleaning guide from the British Coatings Federation and Dulux Connect contractor Bagnall’s: https://coatings.org.uk/general/custom.asp?page=HowToCleanPaintbrushes
3. Storing

Storing & Responsible Disposal Do not use or store paint in extreme temperatures and protect from damp & frost. Reuse, Recycle, or Donate- Whenever possible, reuse, recycle, or donate leftover paint. Find local services at recyclenow.com. If no Community RePaint service is nearby, consider advertising paint locally—many good causes need it to brighten community spaces. Dispose Responsibly- Never pour paint or wastewater down drains or sinks. Follow instructions at recyclenow.com to recycle empty packs. Reuse Roller Cages- Remove sleeves and store cages in a dry, dust-free place. Dispose of Unusable brushes and Sleeves- If brushes or sleeves cannot be cleaned or reused, dispose of them in general waste to avoid recycling issues. Paint Wash Water- Collect wash water in a container; don’t pour it into drains or on the ground. Let solids settle, pour off clear water for reuse or disposal, and let solids dry before disposing as solid waste. Do not flush paint down drains, including when cleaning tools.
