Product Description
Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell Emulsion is a low odour coating for interior use. It can be applied to a range of indoor surfaces, including walls, ceilings, wood and metal.
Trucryl Eggshell has stain blocking and moisture resistant properties, making it ideal for rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens. The emulsion is also durable and washable, making the coating easy to maintain, even in areas exposed to more dirt that require frequent cleaning.
Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell is touch dry in as little as 30 minutes and can be over coated after 2 hours. This provides minimal disruption while the emulsion is applied, allowing application in busy public areas without long periods of closure.
As we manufacture our Acrylic Eggshell Emulsion, we have full technical knowledge of the properties and uses of this emulsion. If you have any questions regarding compatibility with surfaces and existing coatings, preparation or application, please contact us. During office hours, we are available by web chat or phone, or you can contact us by email, which are checked each morning and throughout the day.
We also have a range of other emulsions available, such as our matt finish Trumatt Matt Emulsion and Trusheen Silk Emulsion for a silk finish emulsion.

Preparation
General Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, etc.
Previously Painted Surfaces: Gloss and oil-painted surfaces must be washed clean and rubbed down to create a “key.”
Flaky or Powdery Surfaces: These should be primed prior to painting.
Porous Surfaces/New Work: For the first coat, thin the paint with up to 20% clean water (avoid over-thinning).
Mixing: Stir well prior to application. If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix them before use.
Application
Methods: Apply by brush or roller.
* Brush: Load generously and avoid over-spreading.
* Roller: Load generously and apply evenly. A deep pile roller should be used on textured surfaces.
Suitability: This low-odour, water-based coating is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and even wood or metal surfaces (when properly prepared). Its moisture-resistant and stain-blocking properties make it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.

A: Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell Emulsion gives you a smooth, low-sheen finish that’s both durable and washable, making it perfect for busy homes or commercial spaces. It’s a low-odour, water-based paint that’s easy to apply and dries quickly, so you can refresh your space with minimal disruption.

Q: Is Trucryl Eggshell suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
A: Yes — it’s specially designed to handle moisture, humidity, and daily cleaning. Trucryl Eggshell is stain-resistant and moisture-tolerant, so it’s perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and other high-humidity spaces. Its acrylic formulation helps prevent peeling, flaking, and mould growth when properly applied on a prepared surface.
Q: What makes Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell different from regular emulsion paint?
A: Unlike standard matt emulsions, Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell has a slightly reflective, satin-like finish that’s tougher and easier to clean. It bridges the gap between decorative and durable — offering a professional look with washable performance. It’s perfect for areas that need both style and practicality.
Q: What colours and sizes are available, and can I match an existing shade?
A: Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell Emulsion comes in White and can also be tinted to a wide range of colours to match your décor. If you have a specific shade in mind, we can usually match colours from RAL, BS, or NCS systems. Available in 2.5 L, 5 L, and 10 L tins — perfect for anything from a small room to a full property makeover.
Q: Is Trucryl Acrylic Eggshell safe and environmentally friendly?
A: Yes — it’s a low-VOC, water-based paint, meaning it produces less odour and fewer emissions than solvent-based products. That makes it safer for indoor use and better for the environment, while still delivering professional-quality results.
