Caparol Sylitol Mineral
Select your colour
Sylitol Mineral is a silicate-based interior mineral paint for walls and ceilings, giving a beautiful dead matt finish. It is extremely breathable, so walls can dry out naturally, and its mineral nature resists mould without preservatives. It is solvent-free, plasticiser-free and low odour, non-combustible (Class A2), and wet scrub Class 3. Ideal for homes, nurseries and period or listed buildings on mineral plaster, concrete, brick and woodchip; gypsum plaster, plasterboard and existing emulsion need priming first. Choose White, or a colour mixed to order.
At Dawes on Goldhawk Road, Shepherd's Bush, we mix Sylitol Mineral to order while you wait. Painting over plasterboard or existing emulsion? Ask us about the right primer. Call us on 020 8748 6711 or pop in.
