Penta FormuLast Flat Emulsion – Premium Interior/Exterior Flat Finish with FormuLast Durability

Penta FormuLast Flat Emulsion is a premium, high-performance paint designed to provide a durable, beautiful, and true Flat Emulsion finish for both Interior and Exterior applications. The advanced FormuLast Technology ensures the paint film is robust, offering superior long-term durability and resistance to wear and tear, even in high-traffic or weather-exposed areas. This flat finish is highly desirable as it minimizes the visibility of surface imperfections and provides excellent light dispersion (no-glare).

This emulsion provides excellent hiding power and coverage (typical of a premium flat), minimizing the number of coats required to achieve a uniform finish. Being water-based, it features easy clean-up and typically has low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) and low odour, making application comfortable in occupied spaces. Its versatility allows a single product to be used seamlessly across a project’s exterior masonry and interior drywall, wood, or concrete surfaces (when properly primed).

Application Instructions

• Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound, and free of efflorescence, dirt, grease, and loose material. Treat any existing mold or mildew.
• Priming: New or highly porous surfaces (bare drywall, bare concrete) should be primed with a suitable universal or acrylic masonry primer for maximum performance.
• Stirring: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
• Application: Apply 2 full, even coats by brush or roller (3/8″ or 1/2″ nap).
• Thinning: Thin sparingly with water only if necessary (consult TDS for max dilution).
• Recoating: Allow the previous coat to dry fully (typically 2-4 hours) before applying the second coat.
• Clean Up: Clean all tools and equipment immediately with water.

Pro Tips

• For the smoothest flat finish, use a good quality roller and roll the paint out in a consistent pattern (e.g., W-pattern).
• When painting exterior masonry, apply the paint early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid blistering from intense midday heat.
• Always use a high-quality primer on bare masonry to prevent chalking and ensure even topcoat adhesion.
• Due to the flat finish, touch-ups blend very well, making it ideal for high-traffic walls.
• Store the paint bucket tightly sealed in a cool, dry area, protecting it from freezing.
