Zinsser PERMAWHITE in action
Overview
Zinsser Perma-White Interior will bond to existing paints, either solvent-based or glossy paints. It will even bond to ceramic tiling and Formica without sanding. The paint contains a biocide that serveas a protective shield against fungal degradation. Due to these protective properties against mould and mildew and as a moisture resistant paint, Zinsser Perma-White paint is ideally suited for areas with persistent humidity and poor air circulation, such as bathrooms, basements or laundry rooms. Zinsser guarantees protection against fungal degradation for 7 years.
Perma-White Interior Paint comes in two different finishes, matt or satin.
Zinsser Perma-White Interior Matt Paint – is ideal for areas where a low sheen finish is desired. As a durable paint with a long lasting protection against mildew and mould, this matt finish will be ideal for basements and kitchens.
Zinsser Perma-White Interior Satin Paint – if you are after a glossier finish rather than a dull sheen, Perma-White Satin Interior Paint will be the best choice. We recommend using this particular finish for areas that are subject to wear and tear. Due to its moisture resistant properties, Perma-White Satin Paint will be ideal for bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Special precautions should be taken during the surface preparation of pre 1960’s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead. When dry-sanding avoid dust inhalation by wearing a suitable protective face mask.
