SML Silicone Alkyd Low Sheen Topcoat
Description
SML Lustre Silicone Alkyd Low Sheen Topcoat is a user-friendly, single-component paint designed for brush and roller application, ideal for leisure users seeking professional results without spray equipment. It offers excellent levelling, flow-out, and extended wet edge properties, ensuring a smooth finish. The low sheen (between matt and satin) is perfect for applications where a high gloss is not desired, such as canal boat roofs. Enhanced with silicone, it provides excellent durability and colour retention, typically associated with two-pack polyurethane topcoats. Suitable for wood, steel, GRP, and aluminium surfaces above the waterline, both interior and exterior. Can be applied over all Shield primers
Available from SML Paints in small sizes and over 400 stocked colours. Colour matching also available
