ECOSURE UNDERCOAT
Ecosure Undercoat from Dulux Trade is specifically formulated to have a
demonstrably lower environmental impact than standard Dulux Trade products*,
whilst maintaining the highest possible standards of quality and performance.
Ecosure Undercoat from Dulux Trade is a professional quality, durable and quick
drying undercoat with good opacity and adhesion properties. Suitable for use on
interior wood and metal surfaces. For best results, use in conjunction with Ecosure
Gloss from Dulux Trade.
*Lower environmental impact is measured by a reduction in VOC and 10% less embodied
carbon. Using Ecosure Gloss and Undercoat as a two-coat system reduces the embodied
carbon by 30% compared to standard Dulux Trade High Gloss and Undercoat, as measured
by the Environmental Impact Analyser, developed in conjunction with Forum for the Future the leading sustainable development charity.
