Dulux Trade Diamond Matt is a tough and durable matt emulsion that provides protection against scratches, scuffs and stains on interior walls and ceilings, making it ideal for those high traffic, busy areas around the home or in commercial environments.
It has excellent resistance to grease and moisture makes it suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens, too. It achieves Class 1 ISO 11998 and Type C BS 7719 scrub ratings, meaning your home withstands daily wear and tear better than most in the Dulux Trade range and the finished job looks better for longer.
For best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.
- Remove all loose and defective paint with a paint scraper by sanding or with a paint stripper
- Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead
- Where necessary, wash the surface to remove dirt, grease and powdery residues, rinse with clean water and allow to dry
- Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate filler
- Seal all powdery or heavily stained surfaces with Dulux Trade Stain Block Primer
Please Note: A coat of Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell must be applied when overcoating surfaces that have been painted with a solvent-based paint previously.
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. For best colour consistency, purchase sufficient paint for each project including enough for touch-in at a later time. Do not use below 8°C or in areas of high humidity or condensation.
- Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use, making sure to include pigment gathered in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned first coat of Dulux Trade Diamond Matt (see below)
- The normal finishing process is 2 full coats, although for significant colour change further coats may be required
- Allow to dry for 4 to 6 hours between coats
Thinning Guidelines
- Sealing new or bare surfaces: Add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint
- Normal use: Thinning is not usually needed
- Conventional spray application: Add up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint
- Airless spray application: Thinning is not usually needed
To maintain the finish, simply apply a fresh coat of Dulux Trade Diamond Matt as required, using the Preparation and Application instructions above.
