Alkatex Cabinet Paint
ALKATEX is a hybird technology that combnes the tough durability of an oil-based paint with the easy soap and water clean up of a latex paint.
The special ALKATEX formulation suspends resin in water unlike traditional oil-based painds where the resin is dissolved in a solvent. As the piant film begins to dry, the water evaporates causing the resin and the paint pigment particle to merge and compact.

The Magic Word for Paint is Primer!
Why Prime? |
|
Your topcoat will look better & spread farther. |
|
Paint color & sheen are more consistent on top of primer. |
|
Priming improves surface adhesion for longevity.
|
|
Stain blocking and sealing can only be achieved with primer. |
|
Extend the life of your paint: Primer + 1 topcoat looks better than 2 topcoats w/o primer! |
|
Paint & Primers are Different . . . here is how:
|
|
PAINT is a pigment-rich topcoat for beautiful color retention and exposure to the elements. |
|
PRIMERS are resin-rich to promote adhesion and provide a smooth, even surface ideal for anchoring your topcoat of paint.
|
|
Priming results in better coverage, evenness of color & sheen, and overall durability of the finish coat. |
|
Primers seal stains, block odors, bind chalky surfaces, and even fill small voids prior to painting. |
|
Neutral-based colors (ultra deep or bright colors) require a tinted primer to achieve the final color you want. |
Primer Specialty Situations |
|
Prime over dark colors before painting with lighter ones. |
|
To cure blistering, chalking, peeling, and cracking.
|
|
Repainting kitchen cabinets, wood paneling, vinyl siding
(vinyl siding: topcoat with same or lighter color to prevent warping). |
|
Painting hard, glossy materials: ceramic tile, glass, PVC, metal, formica, etc. |
|
Sealing porous surfaces: stucco, plaster, concrete, masonry, bare wood. |
|
Blocking out stains: smoke or water damage, sap, or tannin streaks, pet stains, graffiti, mildew stains. |
PREPARATION: The Key To Success |
|
Your surface should be Clean, Dry, Dull, Sound, and Smooth |
|
Use TSP to clean your surface: It dulls glossy surfaces and won’t leave soapy residue. Follow TSP directions and start from the bottom, then rinse from the top. |
|
Stain blocking and sealing can only be achieved with primer. |
|
New drywall MUST be primed with a PVA primer. |
|
Use quality brushes. The better the brush, the better the painter! |
|
