Why did the Demidekk Ultimate formula change?
The main reason for the new formula was to improve the colour retention in the darker colours and improve the gloss retention. One of the main reasons to buy Demidekk is the long lifecycle it offers meaning you don’t have an annual job of repainting exterior surfaces, instead it provides superior protection and really long lasting results, often more than 10 years. The new formula Demidekk CleanTech builds upon this superior formula and increases the longevity to the finish again still.
Is this Demidekk CleanTech the same as Butinox?
Jotun Butinox 3 existed before Demidekk Ultimate was introduced to replace and improve upon its formula.
