What is Nippon Odourless Paint (Series)?
The Nippon Odourless Paint Series is an environmentally friendly, green interior emulsion acrylic-based paint. Designed with near-zero VOCs and toxin-free resin, it’s easy to see why it’s one of the more common paint products in the retail market. As a popular anti-bacterial paint, it’s ideal for residential buildings.
With over 2,300 colours (2,338 colours at time of writing) in the Nippon range, it’s a firm favourite used by professional painting services. It’s easy to find a hue that matches décor and can help you create a mood in a room.
Furthermore, there are four different types of odourless paint series within the Nippon Paint range. These are listed as:
- Odour-less easy wash: The Nippon paint easy wash is excellent for interior wall surfaces as it boasts a stain resistance formula that’s 2 times easier to clean than other Nippon paints. Superior coverage creates excellent hiding power, creating an elegant and soft sheen finish. This paint is ideal for a home with little children who frequently touch walls and surfaces.
- Odour-less medifresh: With no paint odour and super anti-bacterial properties, this paint is excellent for children’s rooms and nurseries. Additionally, this paint also boasts air-purifying properties as well as being fungus and mould resistant. Painting your new nursery has never been easier!
- Odour-less anti-mould ceiling white: The odour-less anti-mould ceiling white colour paint features a wide spectrum of protection against most species of mould. Not only is this paint water resistant, but it’s also excellent for ensuring that there’s no bacteria, fungus or mould growth on the walls. Other impressive features include minimal roller splatter and excellent flow and levelling. Use in conjunction with Nippon Water-based paints for floors to ensure minimal mess.
- Odour-less All in One. In Singapore’s humid climate, choosing a paint like Nippon Odour-less All-in-1, which offers anti-mould properties, is beneficial for maintaining wall integrity in HDB flats and condominiums.
We will be using Nippon Odour-Less All in One as the paint to compare with Nippon Vinilex 5000 paint.
