Owatrol Floetrol Water-Based Paint Conditioner 2.5L

Owatrol Floetrol 2.5 Litre is a professional-grade paint conditioner crafted to improve the application properties of water-based paints, including emulsions and acrylic coatings. When added to your paint, Floetrol helps extend open time, soften brush and roller marks and maintain a workable wet edge, resulting in a smoother, more uniform finish. It allows water-based paints to flow and level more effectively without thinning that can compromise opacity or durability.

This larger 2.5 Litre size is ideal for bigger decorating projects, trade use or repeated applications, ensuring consistent performance across walls, ceilings, woodwork and other surfaces. Floetrol also enhances spray performance by reducing the need for high pressures and helps limit tip wear, making it a valuable addition to the toolkit of painters and decorators working in varied conditions.

Application Guidance

• Mixing: Add Floetrol directly into water-based paint and stir thoroughly before use.
• Brush or roller: Typical additions range from 7 – 15% of paint volume, depending on surface and conditions.
• Spray use: Lower percentages can be used to improve flow and reduce spray pressure requirements.
• Compatibility: Designed for water-based paints; avoid use with oil/alkyd or varnish systems.

For best results, always test on a small area before full application to confirm compatibility and handling characteristics with your chosen paint.
