A highly durable semi-matt topcoat, the Tikkurila Akvi Top DS25 is ideal for use on interior woodwork. The water-based top coat dries extremely quickly and is an excellent fire retardant paint.
The Akvi Top DS25 is perfect for application with a paint sprayer and can be mixed into a wide variety of colours.
Suitable for panels, doors, mouldings and other wooden/fibre board surfaces whilst offering very good scratch and blocking resistance. Once dry the Akvi Top DS 25 leaves a very hard and durable paint film which makes it great for use in high traffic areas.
We'd recommend using Tikkurila Akvi Primer before applying this topcoat.
