Jotun Bengalac Gloss Enamel, 18L Base B, Suitable for Tinting Medium Gloss Colours

This base is suitable for interior walls and surfaces and can be used outdoors as well, depending on surface preparation and climate. Always ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose material before application.

Surface preparation is key for adhesion and gloss. Clean the surface thoroughly, repair cracks or holes, lightly sand any very glossy areas to increase adhesion, and remove any dust. If switching from a previous coating, ensure it is compatible and fully dry before applying the base.

Stir the base well before use. Apply in thin, even coats with a brush or spatula, avoiding thick layers that can sag or unevenly gloss. Allow each coat to dry per general guidelines before applying additional coats to achieve the desired finish and depth.

The base is designed to produce a glossy finish and is available in a range of colors. It offers excellent color retention and a durable, shiny surface that stays clean and vibrant with proper maintenance.

Bengalac Gloss Base B is optimized for a glossy, durable finish and works with Bengalac polymer-modified paints.
