Description
The Painter paint roller Ø16 mm polyacrylic is designed to give an even, neat result on narrow and small surfaces. The durable 9 millimetre polyacrylic pile of the roller is an excellent choice for general painting on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as walls, ceilings, mouldings and furniture. Polyacrylic fibre is known for good paint absorption and even release, which guarantees an opaque, neat paint film.
This roller is made with an advanced thermofusion method, in which the fabric is melted onto the plastic core without adhesive. This creates a seamless construction that withstands water- and solvent-based paints well (check that the paint is suitable for polyacrylic) and prevents the fabric coming loose, extending the life of the tool.
The roller has straight edges, which allow precise work and neat cutting in at corners and edges. This mini roller is compatible with standard 6 mm push-in roller frames, giving easy, stable use.
The Ø16 millimetre core makes this roller very narrow and agile, which is ideal for working in confined places and for tasks that call for precision.
Intended use:
- Smooth and semi-smooth surfaces: Walls, ceilings, panels, mouldings, doors, furniture.
- Small and narrow areas: Corners, edges, confined spaces, touch-up painting.
- General painting: Suitable for most water- and solvent-based paints, emulsions and latexes.
- Versatility: Works for both interior and exterior painting on smooth surfaces.

Painter WKL1051 instructions for use:
Use the roller with a 6 mm push-in roller frame. Before first use, it is recommended to brush the roller lightly or roll it on tape to remove any loose fibres. Dip the roller carefully in the paint and make sure the pile is evenly loaded. Roll off the excess paint on the grid of the paint tray to avoid spatter.
Apply the paint with even, overlapping strokes. Thanks to the straight edges, you can cut in neatly. After use, clean the roller immediately with the cleaning agent given in the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Water-based paints are washed out with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. When using solvent-based paints, follow the instructions of the thinner and cleaning agent manufacturer.
Warnings:
Keep out of the reach of children. When using solvent-based paints or thinners, make sure the work area is well ventilated and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety glasses, protective gloves). Do not store the roller in direct contact with sharp objects or open flames.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What is the advantage of a polyacrylic roller?
A polyacrylic roller is an excellent general-purpose roller that is strong, durable and absorbs paint well. It releases paint evenly and opaquely, which guarantees a neat result on many surfaces. Its durability also makes it a good choice for professional use.
Is a 9 mm pile suitable for painting ceilings?
A 9 mm pile is too short for rough ceilings (such as spray-textured ceilings) and can give poor coverage. An 18-22 mm pile is usually recommended for ceilings. This roller is designed for smooth surfaces.
Recycling instructions:
A completely empty and dry roller (e.g. with dried paint, into mixed waste) can be sorted as plastic waste or according to waste regulations. If the roller has significant paint residue, it must be disposed of as hazardous waste according to local regulations. Packaging plastic is sorted into plastic collection.
