A 100% acrylic, premium quality, lustrous finish that is ideal for use on interior walls where a tough, washable semi-gloss finish is desired. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility areas, closet doors and wood trim. Selecting the right sheen (gloss level) is important to ensure your complete satisfaction. Keep in mind that the appearance of paint colors is also affected by differences in gloss level.
American Pride (also known as Mythic) is a fantastic line of acrylic latex paints.
Features:
- No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), exempted solvents, acetone, ammonia, crystalline silica, formaldehyde, formaldehyde precursors (chemicals that create formaldehyde once they enter the atmosphere), or other known toxic materials or suspected carcinogens. Additionally, the colorants we use in our paints have no VOCs nor Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APE), which are surfactants (detergents) which can be oestrogenic (hormone disrupting) and bioaccumulative (they increase concentration up the food chain).
- Extremely low odor: ideal for occupied areas.
- Green Seal certified and Master Painters Institute certified. In fact, American Pride is the only company that offers Green Seal certification on every product they manufacture.
- Superior durability, very washable finish
- Formulated with high strength ceramic microspheres to create a tough and stain resistant coating
- Mold and mildew resistant with Zoe, a safe, antifungal material found in leading dandruff shampoos. Note: Mold and mildew can be a problem in areas withhigh humidity and poor ventilation such as bathrooms and kitchens. In areas where mildew is a problem, we recommend increasing the ventilation and installing a dehumidifier. The existing mildew should be removed by using a dilute 1:3 bleach and water solution. Caution: Wear appropriate protective equipment when handling bleach. Once the surface is thoroughly dry, you can paint with the Semi-gloss paint.
- Spatter resistant
- Formulated to partially seal in the wall substrate and minimize offgassing yet breathe to allow for a healthy exchange of outside air.
- Cleans up with soap and water
Coverage: One gallon covers approximately 350-400 square feet in one coat depending on surface porosity and texture. Two coats of paint are generally recommended. The best results will be achieved with a primer under the paint.
Sizes: Available in quart and gallon.
Dry time: Dries to the touch within 2 hours in most circumstances. General rule of thumb: ready to paint over in 4 hours.
Storage: Properly stored unopened cans have a shelf life of at least two years. Because they do not use toxic fungicides, AP paints are subject to microbial contamination if painting tools are dipped directly into the paint can. Therefore, we recommend pouring the required amount of paint out into a separate container and immediately resealing the paint can for storage in a cool, dry place. To prolong shelf life, keep between 45°F and 120°F. Do not allow to freeze.Weather conditions should be considered when shipping water-based paint products in the winter.
Washing your walls: It is recommended to use a mild "green" liquid dish detergent and water. Do not use harsh cleaning solutions such as ammonia-based window cleaners or abrasive powders. Use a soft sponge and move in light circular motions. May be washed 30 days after application.
While people with chemical sensitivities often successfully use AP paints, they should always test before applying. Individual results may always occur.
