Crown Silk Vinyl Emulsion

Crown Silk Vinyl Emulsion 4L (REF EH)

Crown Silk Vinyl Emulsion is a modified acrylic copolymer interior paint that delivers a soft, silky finish with superior washability and durability for high-traffic and hygiene-sensitive spaces. Formulated for areas that demand frequent cleaning, it is suited for kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, hospital interiors, and food-processing facilities, where its tough, washable surface withstands regular wiping without losing sheen or integrity. Part of Crown Paints Kenya’s Zero VOC product range, the paint has been independently tested at 4.2 g/L VOC by TUV SUD PSB Singapore (BS EN ISO 11890-2:2006), well below the 50 g/L low-VOC threshold and near the detection limit of 2 g/L. The low-odour, water-based formula allows application in occupied or poorly ventilated interior spaces without significant disruption to building occupants.
