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.

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease, etc. Gloss and oil painted surfaces should be washed clean and rubbed down. Powder or flaky surfaces should be primed prior to painting.
On porous surfaces or new work, thin the paint with up to 20% clean water for the first coat (avoid over thinning).
Stir well prior to application.
By brush – load generously and avoid over spreading.
By roller – load generously and apply evenly. A deep pile roller should be used on textured surfaces.
Cleaning: Clean application immediately after use. Use clean cold water.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
The preparation of steelwork prior to painting generally falls into two main areas; that of degreasing and the removal of rust and scale.
All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, grease and millscale, etc.
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Mixing
Stir the paint with a drill stirrer or wooden baton at least 2” wide. Continue to stir during application.
Application
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.
If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use
Preceding Coat
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Mordant Solution.
