Description
What is Caparol CapaFlow?
Caparol CapaFlow is a high-performance polyurethane acrylic enamel developed for creating exceptionally smooth and durable finishes on interior woodwork and other suitably primed surfaces. It is particularly suited to large, flat areas such as doors, wardrobes and panelling where a near-spray finish is desired.
What makes CapaFlow different?
Unlike many traditional water-based trim paints, CapaFlow has been specifically formulated to provide outstanding levelling and flow.
Key advantages include:
- Exceptional smooth levelling
- Near spray-like finish by brush and roller
- Outstanding scratch and impact resistance
- Excellent block resistance
- Resistant to household cleaning products
- Suitable for children’s toys (DIN EN 71-3 compliant)
This is why many professional decorators consider CapaFlow one of the finest water-based trim paints available.
Available in:
- Satin – elegant mid-sheen finish
- Matt – modern low-sheen finish
Both finishes can be tinted into thousands of colours using the Caparol ColorExpress tinting system.
Suitable for use on:
- Interior doors
- Skirting boards
- Architraves
- Panelling
- Kitchen cabinets
- Wardrobes
- Primed MDF
- Primed metal
- Rigid PVC
For interior use only.
