Description

DESCRIPTION: Virtuoso™ Silk Touch™ is a breakthrough product that incorporates an easy clean surface protector technology to create a paint formula that uniquely combines the visual elegance of matte paints with the easy clean capabilities of gloss paints.

FEATURES: Virtuoso™ Silk Touch™ is a 100% acrylic water-based paint that is low-odor, low-VOC, lead-free, and has outstanding color retention. Also formulated to be antibacterial, it protects your walls from potentially harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella. It dries to a luxurious silk finish that imparts a sense of warmth and depth to your living space and provides a surface that is distinctively smooth to the touch. With its easy clean capabilities, oil and dirt cannot easily stick to the walls, making it easy to wipe off common everyday stains.

PRINCIPAL USES: It is best for areas in need of stain resistant walls. It is intended for interior surfaces such as concrete and drywall substrates.

SERVICE CONDITIONS: Allow to dry for at least 7 days after application to reach full stain resistance. Wipe stains off with moderate pressure using a soft cloth and household cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners as these may damage the paint film.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
New Concrete
Allow new concrete to dry for 14 – 28 days under normal weather conditions before painting. Surface to be painted should be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, dust, dirt, contaminants, and all loose grit and mortar. If neutralizing, treat surface with a solution of 1 part BOYSEN^® Masonry Neutralizer B-44 diluted in 16 parts water, applying liberally by brush or roller. Let dry overnight before rinsing with water to remove white crystals that form on the surface. Let dry before painting. However, if the concrete has been cured for more than 28 days, there is no need for neutralizer.

Drywall Substrates
Install and secure joints as per manufacturer’s recommendations.

Repainting
Scrape off all loose, scaling, flaking, and peeling paint as necessary. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and good weather persists prior to painting.

For repainting concrete with chalky old paint, use BOYSEN^® Chalk Blocker™ B-7304 as surface conditioner. In case of mildew infestation, treat with a bleach solution (1:3, laundry bleach to water, respectively) by swabbing or brushing. To ensure proper treatment, let stand for 24 hours before cleaning off residue. Let dry.
