Interior Paint is a
high performance acrylic interior paint formulated to
protect interior surfaces while preventing mold & mildew
growth on the paint film. Perma-White is designed to
produce a tough, durable, washable finish that withstands
moisture and resists dirt pick up.
It is suitable for application to interior walls, wall cavities,
ceilings, trim, doors, and related paintable surfaces. It is
excellent for use in bathrooms, basements, kitchens,
laundry rooms, closets, locker rooms, hot tub rooms,
enclosed porches and pool areas or any interior where
mold & mildew is a concern. Perma-White can be used for
commercial, industrial or residential use.
It is recommended for interior use on new or previously
painted gypsum drywall, cured plaster, cement, poured
concrete and stucco, concrete block, ceramic tile, primed
or previously painted wood and metal, paneling, rigid
paintable plastics, laminates, and other paintable surfaces.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt,
grease, wax, wall covering adhesive, soap film, loose paint
or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion.
Remove all existing mold and mildew before painting. If
you are concerned about mold and mildew behind walls,
underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other unseen
areas, contact a professional who specializes in mold and
mildew remediation. For commercial buildings and
schools, follow appropriate guidelines for mold removal.
Clean surfaces with a solution of one cup household
bleach per gallon of water or a quality biocidal wash.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.
STAINS
Rust, tannin, grease, mold & mildew and other stains
should be blocked with an appropriate stain killing primer-
sealer such as B-I-N
®
or Bulls-Eye
®
Odorless. Before
priming over stained areas, attempt to remove as much of
the stain as possible by washing, sanding, scraping, etc.
APPLICATION
Two coats are required for proper performance and mold
& mildew-proof resistance. Apply only when air, material,
and surface temperatures are between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC)
and the relative humidity is below 80%. Thoroughly mix to
ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed before using.
Apply with a synthetic (nylon, polyester or blend) bristle
brush, roller, pad applicator or airless sprayer. Follow
manufacturer's instructions when using spray equipment.
For airless spraying use a 0.017" tip at 2000 to 2600 psi.
Wear NIOSH approved respirator and provide adequate
ventilation.
