uPVC is particularly suitable as a substrate for doors and windows as it often requires little maintenance. However, as the material can stain or discolour and fade over time, painting uPVC is the perfect way to provide a quick update.

The two most important characteristics for painting on uPVC are adherence and weatherproofing. Not all paint formulations are suitable for use on uPVC because they do not adhere to the surface sufficiently strongly.

Why is One Can particularly suited for painting uPVC in this regard?

“The ambient cross-linking technology in One Can means the coating becomes harder and more durable as the reaction continues. Whilst the paint applies smoothly with a low-odour, water-based finish, it dries to a robust and durable coating. This process occurs extremely quickly – One Can is touch dry in 30 minutes and recoats are possible after just 1 hour.”

How does One Can meet this weatherproofing requirement?

“The binder used in One Can is based on a high-specification binder, which contains a monomer that is particularly water resistant. It also contains proprietary wet adhesion promotion. Together, this means that One Can gives superb protection against the elements in the long-term, even as a water-based finish that is quick and easy to apply.”

What outside temperature will guarantee the best results? How long will it likely take for the paint to dry?

“For best results, outside temperature should be 8-10 degrees or above, but it should be noted that the surface temperature will be considerably colder if applied at lower temperatures. One Can is surface dry within 30 minutes, and recoatable after just 1 hour – although exact timings will depend on the on-site conditions during application.”
