Water-based products have a shelf life of 12 months if they are unopened and stored in a cool place. Once the product is opened or if the product is stored in a hot environment then the shelf life diminishes. It is recommended to use the entire product at the one time to avoid any contamination.
Water-based products are generally better for your health and the environment. FX Australia products and processes are Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certified giving the end user confidence and peace of mind.
Sheen is the level of gloss. Choosing the right sheen is important:
1. MATT/FLAT: Hides imperfections but picks up dirt. Generally, not washable.
2. LOW SHEEN: Hides some imperfections. Usually able to clean off dirt and marks. Choose FX Max Easy Clean Low Sheen or FX LTC Low Sheen.
3. GLOSS/SEMI-GLOSS: Excellent for washability but does not hide imperfections.
