My Choice Contractors PVA

A Versatile Solution for Your Painting Needs

Product Overview: My Choice Contractors PVA, available at Super Build Hardware, is a versatile and reliable general-purpose polyvinyl acetate (PVA) paint. This product is specifically designed for use on buildings that will later receive a more durable finishing coat, such as Interior or Exterior PVA. It serves as an excellent base coat, providing a smooth and even surface for subsequent layers of paint.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. General Purpose Use: Contractors PVA is ideal for a wide range of applications, making it a go-to choice for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. Whether you’re working on residential, commercial, or industrial projects, this PVA paint offers the flexibility and performance you need.
2. Tinting Recommendations: Due to the formulation of Contractors PVA, it is recommended to use only light colors for tinting. The limited amount of binder in the formulation means that deep colors can overpower the binder, leading to potential issues such as the paint being easily washed away or the appearance of streaks. By sticking to light colors, you can ensure a more consistent and durable finish.
3. High Powder Loading: One of the standout features of Contractors PVA is its high loading of powders. This characteristic enhances the paint’s ability to fill pores in rough plaster, creating a smoother surface that is ready for further finishing. This makes it particularly useful for preparing surfaces that require a high-quality final coat.
4. Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is crucial for achieving the best results with Contractors PVA. Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose particles or contaminants. This will help the paint adhere better and provide a more uniform finish.
5. Application Tips:
   • Mixing: Before application, thoroughly mix the paint to ensure an even consistency.
   • Tools: Use a high-quality brush, roller, or spray equipment for the best results.
   • Coats: Apply one or two coats of Contractors PVA, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. This will help build a solid base for the final finishing coat.
   • Drying Time: Contractors PVA typically dries to the touch within 1-2 hours, but it is advisable to wait at least 4 hours before applying additional coats or the final finishing coat.
6. Durability and Maintenance: While Contractors PVA is designed as a base coat, it still offers a reasonable level of durability. However, for areas that require high resistance to wear and tear, it is essential to apply a more durable finishing coat. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the painted surface with a mild detergent and water, can help prolong the life of the paint job.
7. Environmental Considerations: My Choice Contractors PVA is formulated with environmental responsibility in mind. It is low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a safer choice for both the applicator and the environment. Additionally, the paint is water-based, which means easy cleanup with soap and water.
8. Packaging and Availability: Contractors PVA is available in various sizes to suit different project needs, from small touch-ups to large-scale applications. You can find this product at Super Build Hardware, where our knowledgeable staff can assist you with any questions or additional information you may need.

Conclusion: My Choice Contractors PVA is a reliable and versatile option for anyone looking to prepare surfaces for a more durable finishing coat. Its ability to fill pores in rough plaster, combined with its ease of application and environmental benefits, makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of painting projects.
