Asian Paints Trucare Brush 740 (4 Inch) – Prime All Surface Tool

Asian Paints Trucare Brush 740: The Prime Choice for a Superior Finish

Upgrade your painting toolkit with the Asian Paints Trucare Brush 740 (4 Inch). Part of the “Prime Series,” this brush is a cut above standard economy tools. It is engineered for DIYers and professionals who want a smoother finish with fewer visible brush marks.

Whether you are applying a luxury emulsion to your living room walls or a high-gloss enamel to your main door, Asian Paints Trucare Brush 740 delivers excellent flow and leveling. The secret lies in its high-density synthetic filaments. They are processed to be soft at the tips (flagged) to ensure a smooth release of paint, yet stiff at the base to maintain control. This makes it the perfect all-rounder for big surface jobs where quality cannot be compromised.

Why Upgrade to the Asian Paints Trucare Brush 740?

While the 760/765 series get the job done, the Asian Paints Trucare Brush 740 offers enhanced performance:

• Better Paint Holding: The filaments are packed denser, allowing the brush to hold more paint. This means you can paint longer strips without dipping back into the can, saving time and effort.
• Smoother Finish: The fine tips of the bristles reduce the “tram lines” (deep brush marks) often seen with cheaper brushes, making it suitable for premium paints like Royale or Apcolite.
• Longer Life: Constructed with high-quality adhesives and a rust-resistant ferrule, this brush sheds fewer bristles and lasts through multiple projects.

Key Features

• 4-Inch Width: The optimal size for painting broad wall sections, ceilings, and flush doors efficiently.
• Premium Synthetic Bristles: Compatible with both water-based (acrylic) and solvent-based (oil) paints. They don’t swell in water like natural hog hair.
• Sturdy Wooden Handle: Provides a classic, solid grip that balances the weight of the paint-loaded brush perfectly.
• Minimal Shedding: Secured with a strong epoxy bond in the ferrule to ensure bristles stay on the brush, not on your wall.
• Versatile Application: Tough enough for exterior walls, yet gentle enough for interior wood varnish.

Recommended Application Areas

This prime paint brush is ideal for:

• Interior Walls: Applying premium emulsions for a smooth, rich look.
• Exterior Facades: Durable enough to handle rough exterior surfaces and weather-proof coatings.
• Metal & Wood: Excellent for applying enamel to large metal sheets, gates, or wooden wardrobes.
• Waterproofing: Can be used to apply thick waterproofing agents like Damp Proof effectively.
