Owatrol Floetrol Paint Conditioner

Owatrol Floetrol serves as a water-based paint conditioner, enhancing paint flow and ease of application. It transforms interior and exterior emulsion and acrylic paints, including coloured wood stains, to behave more like oil-based paints. Additionally, it enables paint to adapt to challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures and humidity.

A benefit of Floetrol is its ability to eliminate brush and roller marks by enhancing paint flow, resulting in a smoother, more professional finish.

Unlike harsh paint thinners or water, Floetrol maintains the qualities and colours of the paint. When used with a paint sprayer, it allows for up to a 20% reduction in pressure without compromising the spray pattern or performance, reducing clogging and wear on tips.

• Water-based paint conditioner
• Improves paint flow and workability
• Makes emulsion and acrylic paints behave like oil-based paints

Follow the surface preparation guidelines provided on your paint/finish container. Ensure all loose and flaking material is removed. Treat any mould growth with a fungicidal solution or a mixture of equal parts water and chlorine bleach (let the bleach solution sit for 15 minutes), thoroughly rinse, and allow to dry.

Ensure your paint is thoroughly stirred before beginning application in the usual manner. If the paint pulls, dries too quickly, or doesn't level or flow properly, mix in Floetrol until the paint spreads smoothly, offering adequate "wet-edge." Let the brush, roller, or sprayer guide you.

To add Floetrol, shake the container well first. Then, adhere to the following guidelines for adding Floetrol, stirring the mixture thoroughly. Proceed to apply the paint and Floetrol blend onto your surface as usual.

Note: Floetrol is milky white in colour and as such cannot be used in clear varnishes.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin
