Eggshell-effect art paint is a unique type of wall decoration material with distinctive texture and sheen. Here is a detailed introduction:

Features

• Sheen and Texture: Eggshell-effect art paint has a sheen that falls between high gloss and matte, with a surface texture similar to that of an eggshell. This sheen brings a soft and warm visual effect to the space, and the touch is smooth, giving a sense of sophistication.
• Environmental Performance: Made from environmentally friendly materials, it is odorless. Some products can even decompose formaldehyde, allowing immediate occupancy after application. Its environmental performance far exceeds national standards.
• Stain Resistance and Washability: It has excellent stain resistance and washability. Cleaning is as simple as wiping with a damp cloth. The washability can exceed 10,000 cycles.
• Coverage and Protection: It has strong coverage, effectively addressing uneven wall surfaces. It also offers water resistance, moisture resistance, mildew resistance, and fire retardancy.
• Color and Colorfastness: The colors are highly saturated, and the colorfastness is strong, ensuring that the wall colors remain vibrant for a long time.

Composition

Eggshell-effect art paint is mainly composed of titanium dioxide, high molecular resin, and water. Some products are formulated with high-quality acrylic polymer emulsions. These components ensure the paint’s environmental friendliness, stability, and durability.

Application Method

• Surface Preparation: Before application, ensure the wall is smooth and secure, with a moisture content of less than 10% and a flatness deviation of no more than 3mm. Remove loose particles, oil stains, and dust from the wall surface with a scraper. Fill in any pits or cracks with plaster and sand them smooth after drying.
• Primer Application: Apply a layer of moisture-resistant and alkali-resistant primer. Typically, the primer is diluted according to the product instructions and then evenly rolled on with a roller. The edges and corners can be touched up with a brush. The drying time is generally 4–6 hours.
• Art Paint Application: After the primer is dry, apply the eggshell-effect art paint by rolling, brushing, or spraying. Usually, two coats are required. The first coat should be sanded after drying, followed by the second coat. Some products may also require a special roller to refine the texture.
• Precautions: The application temperature should be maintained between 5–35°C, with a humidity level below 85%. Masks and gloves should be worn throughout the application process to protect personal health.

Uses

Eggshell-effect art paint is suitable for various settings, including residential spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms, studies, and dining rooms, as well as commercial spaces like hotel lobbies, offices, and exhibition halls. Due to its moisture and mildew resistance, it can also be used in high-humidity areas such as basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Advantages

• Easy Application: It can be applied by rolling, brushing, or spraying, with low application difficulty. Even those without professional experience can handle it.
• High Cost-Effectiveness: The simple and quick application process results in a comprehensive cost that is 5%–10% lower than other art paint products.
• Excellent Decorative Effect: It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also adds an artistic touch.

With its unique sheen, environmental friendliness, and outstanding stain resistance, eggshell-effect art paint has become an ideal choice for modern home and commercial space decoration.
