Coral Super Lavável: Washable, Stain-Resistant Interior Wall Paint

Ultra Resist Technology for cleaning chocolate, coffee, ketchup and marker stains. See the technical profile of Coral's washable paint line.

Coral Super Lavável is a high-performance acrylic paint for interior walls. Built on Ultra Resist Technology, it is twice as resistant to cleaning, repels liquids and is low odor. The formulation was developed specifically to deliver cleaning performance against stains from chocolate, ketchup, coffee, soda, juice, pencil, marker, colored pencil and lipstick.

Characteristics

  • Twice as cleaning-resistant, compared to item 4.5.1 of the ABNT NBR 11702 standard (premium matte finish)
  • Repels liquids (the effect is lower on intense colors and needs more cure time; hot liquids also reduce the effect)
  • Easy to clean
  • Low odor within 3 hours after application, in a ventilated room

Classified under Brazil’s ABNT NBR 11702 standard, item 4.5.12, defined as washable paint. Eggshell finish, an intermediate sheen between matte and satin that helps disguise wall imperfections. Developed for interior use.
