About this product
Dulux Easycare Washable and Tough Matt Emulsion Paint in Pure Brilliant White is a water-based paint designed for interior use on walls and ceilings. This 2.5 litre tin from Dulux, manufactured by AkzoNobel, offers a durable finish suitable for busy households and those wanting an easy-to-maintain colour solution. The formulation is 20 times tougher than standard emulsion, providing enhanced protection against everyday wear and tear.
This paint delivers a thick and creamy consistency that’s straightforward to apply, covering approximately 32.5 square metres with one coat – achieving roughly 13m²/L per coat. It's specifically formulated as ‘Easycare Washable & Tough’, offering a wipeable finish ideal for areas prone to scuffs, such as hallways and children’s rooms. The paint dries in just four hours, allowing for quick turnaround times on projects.
The Pure Brilliant White colour belongs to the Creams and Whites group, and boasts a true waterproof quality. This makes it suitable for use indoors and offers a reliable finish. A single 2.5 litre tin includes one paint can within a tin container, weighing 3.55 kg. Please note that no guarantee is provided.
Considerations include its good opacity over most existing colours and the ability to cover around 33 square metres per coat. However, as with all matt finishes, careful application is required to avoid roller marks. It’s widely available if you require additional tins in the same colour.
