Indigo Satin Enamel – Platinum Series

Indigo Satin Enamel (PU Paint): Premium Satin Finish for Wood and Metal

For a durable, elegant finish on woodwork and metal that is both easy to clean and resistant to yellowing, choose Indigo Satin Enamel (PU Paint). This polyurethane (PU) modified enamel provides the strength and longevity of an oil-based paint with a sophisticated, low-sheen satin finish that minimizes surface imperfections.

The addition of PU ensures that this satin enamel forms an exceptionally hard, non-yellowing film compared to standard synthetic enamels. This makes it ideal for kitchen cabinets, window frames, and doors that require frequent cleaning and maximum protection.

Why Choose Indigo Satin Enamel (PU Paint)?

This PU-modified enamel offers a premium balance of aesthetics and toughness:

• Enhanced Durability (PU Modified): The polyurethane resins create a harder, more abrasion-resistant film than traditional alkyd enamels, significantly extending the life of the finish.
• Elegant Satin Sheen: Delivers a beautiful, subtle sheen that is popular in modern design. The satin finish is easier on the eye and better at hiding minor dents or scratches than a high-gloss finish.
• Non-Yellowing: Formulated to maintain its bright white or light color over time, resisting the yellowing effect common in standard oil-based paints.
• High Washability: The hard film is extremely resistant to scrubbing, detergents, and household stains, making cleaning simple.

6. Drying & Recoat: Allow 8 hours for drying. Lightly sand the first coat with 400 grit sandpaper to remove dust nibs, wipe clean, and apply the final coat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: The PU modification drastically reduces the yellowing associated with standard oil-based enamels, ensuring whites and light colors stay truer over time.
