Painter paint roller Ø48 mm 12 mm polyamide acrylic paints

Description

The Painter paint roller Ø48 mm 12 mm polyamide is a high-quality tool designed especially for applying acrylic paints. The 12 millimetre polyamide pile of the roller is very hard-wearing and keeps its shape in repeated use. Polyamide fibre is known for its excellent ability to absorb and release paint evenly, which guarantees an opaque, neat result.

This roller is made with an advanced thermofusion method, in which the fabric is attached to the plastic core by melting it with heat. No adhesive is used in the construction, so the roller also withstands solvent-based paints and thinners without melting. Thermofusion ensures a long tool life and prevents adhesive residue mixing with the paint.

The bevelled edges of the roller prevent thick paint edges and roller marks forming while painting. This feature gives an even paint film without lines when strokes overlap, speeding up work and improving the result.

The roller is compatible with standard 8 mm push-in roller frames.

Intended use:

• Acrylic painting: Designed especially for applying water- and solvent-based acrylic paints indoors and outdoors.
• Filler and primer coats: The 12 mm pile length is well suited to applying fillers and primers to semi-rough surfaces.
• Professional painting: The strong polyamide fibre and thermofusion construction make the roller a durable tool for demanding professional use.

Painter WKL1011 instructions for use:

Use the roller with an 8 mm push-in roller frame. Before first use, remove any manufacturing dust by brushing the fabric or rolling it against masking tape. Dip the roller carefully in the paint and make sure the 12 mm pile is evenly loaded. Roll off the excess paint on the grid of the paint tray.

Apply the paint with even strokes. Thanks to the bevelled edges, you can overlap roller strokes without worrying about visible lines. After use, clean the roller immediately with the cleaning agent given in the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Water-based paints are washed out with warm water and soap.

Warnings:

When using solvent-based paints, make sure the work area is well ventilated. Do not store the roller in direct contact with sharp objects that could damage the polyamide pile or the plastic core.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

What is the advantage of bevelled edges?

The sharp edge of a normal roller can squeeze paint outwards and leave a thick line on the painted surface. Bevelled edges soften the edge area of the roller, so the paint levels out nicely and the boundaries between strokes disappear. This speeds up the work and improves the result.

Is polyamide a good material for acrylic paints?

Yes, polyamide is an excellent material for acrylic paints. It is strong and durable and has a good ability to absorb and release paint evenly, which guarantees an opaque, neat surface. Its durability also makes it a good choice for professional use.

Recycling instructions:

A completely dry, clean roller can be sorted as mixed waste. If the roller has dried paint on it or has been used with solvent-based paints, dispose of it as hazardous waste according to local waste regulations. Packaging plastic is sorted into plastic collection.
