About Aquanamel® Low Sheen
Dulux Aquanamel® Low Sheen is a premium quality water-based interior acrylic enamel that dries to a tough finish. This product is so resistant that common marks are able to be removed with common household cleaners.
It resists knocking, chipping and yellowing and is highly recommended for doors, architraves, timber trim, walls and skirting boards as an alternative to traditional, oil-based enamels.
