Why Choose Easycare Base?

The Dulux Easycare Base line is engineered with advanced polymer technology that offers several distinct advantages over conventional primers:

1. Superior Adhesion: The micro‑structured surface promotes strong bonding between the wall and the top coat, reducing peeling or flaking.
2. Excellent Coverage: Its high pigment load ensures minimal number of coats needed, saving time and material costs.
3. Durability: Resistant to moisture, mildew, and abrasion – perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and high‑traffic areas.
4. Low VOC & Eco‑Friendly: Meets stringent environmental standards while providing a healthy indoor atmosphere.
5. Versatility: Works on plaster, drywall, masonry, wood, and metal substrates once properly prepared.

Surface Preparation Guidelines

For optimal results, follow these steps before applying the Easycare Base:

1. Clean: Remove dust, grease, and loose paint with a mild detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
2. Repair: Fill cracks or holes with suitable filler; sand smooth once cured.
3. Prime: If the surface is highly absorbent (e.g., raw plaster), apply a light coat of primer first, then let it cure before using Easycare Base.
4. Apply: Use a high‑quality brush or roller. Work in thin, even layers to avoid drips and unevenness.

Top Coat Compatibility

The base is fully compatible with all Dulux Easycare paint ranges, including:

• Easycare Washable & Tough Matt – ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.
• Easycare Gloss & Semi‑Gloss – perfect for trim, doors, and cabinetry.
• Exterior Easycare Paints – suitable for balconies, verandas, and exterior walls.

When applying a top coat, wait until the base is completely dry (usually 2–3 hours) to ensure maximum adhesion and finish quality.

Maintenance & Longevity

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth; mild soap works well for light stains. Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the paint layer.
• Repainting: After 5–7 years, most interiors may require touch‑ups or a fresh coat to maintain colour vibrancy.
• Environmental Resistance: The product’s moisture barrier protects against dampness and condensation, extending the life of the paint job.
