Dulux Winterlock: Painting in Colder Conditions

Dulux Winterlock is a two-part solution for painting during cold weather:

• Winterlock Additive: This additive is mixed with most Dulux premium exterior water-based paints to improve application and drying times in temperatures as low as 3°C.
• Dulux Weathershield+Plus Winterlock: This is a paint specifically formulated for winter use. It cures at temperatures down to 2°C and offers all the benefits of regular Weathershield exterior paint.
  Benefits of Using Winterlock
• Faster drying times: Winterlock helps ensure your paint dries properly even in cold weather, reducing the risk of smudging, streaking, and peeling.
• Better application: Colder temperatures can make paint thicker and more difficult to apply. Dulux Winterlock helps the paint flow more smoothly for a better finish.
• Reduced risk of paint failure: Paint that doesn’t dry properly is more likely to fail later on. Dulux Winterlock helps prevent this by ensuring the paint cures completely.
  Using Winterlock
• Winterlock Additive: Follow the instructions on the label for adding the correct amount of additive to your paint. Stir the mixture thoroughly before applying.
• Weathershield+Plus Winterlock: Apply this paint according to the manufacturer’s instructions for Weathershield paints.
  Tips for Painting in Cold Weather
• Paint in the sun if possible: Sunlight will help the paint dry faster.
• Avoid painting in windy or humid conditions: These conditions can also slow down drying times.
• Bring the paint and surface temperature up: Ideally, the paint and the surface you’re painting should be at least 10°C. You can try storing the paint indoors overnight and applying it during the warmest part of the day.
