Paintcor Rippletex

Description

RippleTex is more than a textured coating—it’s a design solution for walls that need both resilience and character. Formulated with specialised raw materials, RippleTex delivers a durable, flexible finish with smooth rounded peaks and low dirt retention, making it ideal for feature walls, high-traffic interiors, and exterior facades.
Whether you’re masking plaster imperfections or adding ripple texture for aesthetic impact, RippleTex offers three distinct finishes depending on roller type and dilution. Use a sponge roller for a rounded ripple effect, or dilute with water and apply with a sheepskin roller for a softer, semi-textured look. It’s non-yellowing, odourless, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly—available in a wide range of colours to suit any space.
Where to use it:
• Feature walls
• Surfaces with plaster imperfections
• Decorative ripple textures
• Interior and exterior walls
• Hairline crack coverage
Surface Preparation & Application:
• New Plaster: Remove loose material. Seal with AcrySeal (1:1 water), allow to dry. Apply 1–2 coats of RippleTex using sponge or sheepskin roller.
• Previously Painted Plaster:
• Poor adhesion: Strip old paint, wash chalking surfaces, seal with AcrySeal, then apply RippleTex.
• Good adhesion: Clean walls, allow to dry, then apply RippleTex.
• Texture Adjustment:
• For rounded ripple: use as supplied with sponge roller.
• For semi-textured: dilute ±1L water per 20L and apply with sheepskin roller.
• For subtle ripple: add ½–1 cup water per 20L.
Application Tips:
• Work quickly and maintain a wet edge.
• Always work corner to corner—never stop mid-wall.
• Use scaffolding for double-story walls with two applicators meeting wet edges.
• Avoid direct sunlight or temperatures above 30°C.
• Professional painters recommended for ripple roller application to ensure even texture.
Cleanup & Storage:
• Clean tools with water immediately after use.
• Store in cool, dry conditions away from children.
RippleTex isn’t just a finish—it’s a textured expression of care, creativity, and craftsmanship. Perfect for schools, homes, and community spaces that deserve walls with personality and performance.
