Crown publishes Clean Extreme product performance guide

Crown Trade has launched a comprehensive new product performance guide to support its market-leading and recently expanded Clean Extreme range of high performance water-based paints.

Last year Crown extended its popular Clean Extreme range to arm professional painters and decorators with the tools needed to win the fight against stains, dirt, mould and bacteria. The new Clean Extreme product performance guide is packed full of information along with advice and tips to ensure specifiers select the most appropriate paint for each job and decorators get the very best finish every time.

The Clean Extreme range features a trio of high performance paints - Clean Extreme Stain Resistant Scrubbable Matt, Clean Extreme Mould Inhibiting Scrubbable Matt and Clean Extreme Anti-Bacterial Scrubbable Matt. For projects requiring a sheen rather than matt finish, the full Clean Extreme range is also available in a high performance, stain-resistant, durable and washable Acrylic Eggshell finish. Each product within the range has undergone rigorous independent scientific testing to strict industry standards and the new guide explains all about the tests as well as the results.

In terms of scrubbablity, Crown uses the industry-recognised ISO 11998 test, against which all the Clean Extreme matt products achieved a Class 1 rating, equivalent to withstanding 10,000 scrubs before the paint film will start to break down. The guide also explains how Crown tests Clean Extreme products for their resistance to common household stains including red wine, coffee, curry, shoe polish and various pens and markers. The same stain resistance tests are carried out on leading competitor products to ensure Clean Extreme remains ahead of the curve.

In addition, the product performance guide highlights the fungal tests used to put Clean Extreme mould-inhibiting paints through their paces. And explains how, with the addition of SteriTouch technology, Clean Extreme anti-bacterial products are 99.99% certified to kill bacteria, preventing bacteria growth on a surface.
