Key Features:

• Enhanced Flow and Workability: Floetrol improves the flow and maintains the wet edge of your paint, allowing for smoother, more efficient application.
• Professional Finish: Achieve a brushstroke-free finish with Floetrol, which helps eliminate unsightly brush and roller marks.
• Interior and Exterior Use: Perfect for both indoor and outdoor painting projects, even in challenging conditions like hot, cold, or windy weather.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for special effects, faux finishing, and acrylic paint pouring. Floetrol helps create strong, well-formed cells in acrylic pour art without compromising the paint’s color.

Why Choose Floetrol? Floetrol is a water-based paint conditioner that transforms the performance of emulsion and acrylic paints, making them behave more like oil-based paints. It adjusts to various environmental conditions, ensuring your paint flows smoothly regardless of the weather.

Benefits:

• No Thinning Required: Unlike paint thinners or water, Floetrol improves paint flow without diluting its inherent qualities or color.
• Spray Gun Efficiency: When used with a paint sprayer, Floetrol reduces pressure by up to 20% without affecting the spray pattern or performance, preventing clogging and reducing wear and tear on the spray tips.
• Artistic Applications: Floetrol is also a favorite among artists for acrylic paint pouring, helping to achieve the desired cell formation while preserving the paint’s integrity.

Ideal Uses for Floetrol:

• Exterior Painting: Perfect for painting in challenging weather conditions.
• Paint Sprayers: Extends the life of your spray gun by reducing wear and tear.
• Brush and Roller: Ensures a smooth, even finish without brush or roller marks.
• Roller Application: Reduces roller pressure, preventing paint buildup at the roller’s edges.
• Spray-Like Finish: Achieve a spray-like finish when using a roller.

Application Guidelines:

1. Surface Preparation: Follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for surface preparation. Ensure all loose and flaking material is removed and treat any mold with a fungicidal solution.
2. Mixing: Shake the Floetrol container well before use. Add Floetrol to the paint as needed:
   • Brush or Roller: Add 7-10% per liter of paint. Increase up to 15% if necessary in extreme temperatures.
   • HVLP & Cup Gun Sprayer: Add 5-10% per liter of paint, adjusting as needed for consistency.
   • Airless Sprayer: Add up to 10% per liter of paint.
   • Faux Finishing: Add 20-25% per liter of paint, being cautious with vertical surfaces to prevent sagging.
3. Clean Up: Clean all tools and equipment with soap and water after use.

Important Considerations:

• Compatibility: Test a small amount of Floetrol with your paint to ensure compatibility.
• Sheen Reduction: Floetrol may reduce the sheen in gloss paints but will not alter the color of matte or semi-gloss paints.
• Usage Restrictions: Do not use Floetrol in clear varnishes or oil-based paints. For oil-based paints, use Owatrol Oil for similar results.
