Asian Paints Royale Health Shield

They are a cheaper alternative to edge banding and are especially useful for kitchen countertops, cabinets, and furniture, where they provide a waterproof and finished look. Features and benefits Aesthetic finish: Applied with a brush, these paints provide a uniform, smooth, and finished look to the raw, unlaminated edges of countertops and cabinets. Moisture protection: Acrylic paints and sealers create a waterproof barrier that protects the inner substrate (like particle board) of the laminate from swelling or damage from moisture. This is particularly critical for edges around sinks and in humid areas. Superior adhesion: Unlike regular paint, specialty acrylic formulas for laminate are designed to bond securely to the slick, glossy surface. This requires preparing the surface by cleaning and lightly sanding it first. Durability and washability: High-quality acrylic formulas are durable and resistant to scuffs and scratches, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. They are also easy to clean with a mild soap solution. Low odor: Water-based acrylic paints have low odor, making them suitable for indoor use with proper ventilation. Topcoat protection: To enhance longevity and durability, a protective, water-based acrylic topcoat is often applied over the paint. This is especially recommended for high-use surfaces like countertops.
