A matt emulsion provides a flat, non-shiny finish that helps disguise surface imperfections. The formula contains added vinyl resins, which improve durability and flow while retaining the soft, matt appearance.
These properties make Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion tougher than standard matt paints, while still being easy to apply.

FAQs
Usually, 2 coats of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion paint is enough for previously painted surfaces in good condition. On new or bare surfaces or when making strong colour changes, a thinned first coat may be required.
Each coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt provides excellent coverage thanks to its quality high-opacity emulsion formula.
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt is wipeable for light marks, though it is not fully washable like a kitchen or bathroom paint. If you require a scrubbable paint we'd recommend Dulux Trade Diamond Matt.
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt is a top-quality, high-opacity option. It is more durable, offers a good flow, and provides more consistent coverage than standard matt emulsion. The added vinyl resins enhance the paint's performance while maintaining easy application and a top-quality matt finish.

Good surface preparation is essential for achieving a smooth finish with Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt paint and will save you time on the overall job.
Follow these simple steps to ensure new surfaces or previously painted areas are ready before you start:
-
Prepare the space: Clear the area to create a clean, dust-free place. Cover floors and any remaining furniture to protect them from paint splashes.
-
Clean thoroughly: Remove dirt, grease and dust from surfaces.
-
Repair and smooth: Fill cracks or holes, let the filler dry, then sand until smooth. Wipe down to leave the surface completely dust-free.
-
Lightly sand: Gently sand new and previously painted surfaces to improve adhesion, then remove all sanding dust.
-
Treat bare surfaces: For bare surfaces, apply a thinned first coat or suitable primer to help the product bond evenly. Ensure you always follow a normal finishing process.
Tip: Avoid painting in extreme temperatures and always apply Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt paint in a dust-free area for best results.
These steps help ensure a long-lasting, professional-looking finish every time.
Properly sealed, Dulux Trade Paint Vinyl Matt can be stored for future touch-ups. Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is firmly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Make sure to stir thoroughly before use if it has been sitting for a while.
Always dispose of paint responsibly. If you have usable leftover paint, consider ways to donate paint to local community projects, schools or charities that accept decorative coatings.
Do not flush paint. Paint should never be poured down sinks, drains or toilets. Liquid paint can damage plumbing and water systems. Instead, allow any remaining liquid paint to dry out fully so only the paint solids remain.
Once dry, the remaining paint solids can usually be disposed of in accordance with your local household waste guidance. Keep dried paint in the same container with the lid removed so waste facilities can identify the contents easily.
Check your local authority’s advice for the safest disposal method in your area.
