40-46 m²/pail (450-500 ft²/pail)
Cromatex is a durable, high quality, acrylic base wall coating, which provides an elegant “metallic” alternative to traditional latex coatings. It is offered in nine (9) shimmering metallic colours and is part of the family of Durex® New Generation Textures. Cromatex is applied by brush and/or roller and it is designed to coat both flat and/or coarse surfaces, combining shimmer with depth in colour.
- Exceptional durability.
- Excellent water repellency; protects surfaces from moisture penetration.
- Breathable coating; allows water vapour within the wall system to evaporate.
- Excellent adhesion to substrate.
- Colourfast; not affected by ultra-violet rays.
- Suitable for both interior and/or exterior applications.
Cromatex is used as an effective long wearing protective coating specifically designed to be applied over all Durex® Architectural Coatings and/or other types of solid substrates. Cromatex is mixed to match selected colours which provide a metallic lustrous finish.
