Nippon Easy Wash Now Comes With Teflon December 6, 2007
Posted by admin in : Painting Tips, Recommendations , 2commentsNippon Paint has improved its Easy Wash range by adding Teflon. For those unfamiliar with Teflon, take a look at your frying pan! Yes, you heard me right. Teflon’s most popular application must be in non-stick pan. Thanks to Teflon, your sunny-side-up can be transferred to your plate in one complete ‘clean’ piece, not having to 
scrape off pieces that are stuck on the metal, like our older non-Teflon frying pans. Well, now thanks to Teflon, sources tell me that Nippon’s latest product - Nippon Easy Wash Plus with Teflon - is flying off the shelf!
Nippon Easy Wash Plus with Teflon is an improvement of its predecessor - Nippon Easy Wash. With the addition of Teflon, an already easy-to-wash product is made even more washable. On top of that, this latest line covers hairline cracks as well as being mould-resistant. The colour range has also undergone an overhaul. The latest range has strong colours such as Red Flag, Earth Flag and Candy Pink. The usual shades of whites (Lily White, Rose White, Orchid White, Apple White etc.) still exist, but in slightly different shades. There are a total of 33 colours, inclusive of Pure White. In the next post, I will scan the Colour chart for all to see…
Nippon Odour-less Ultra All-In-One April 6, 2007
Posted by admin in : Colour Chart, Painting Tips, Recommendations , 1 comment so farI recently painted my daughter’s room and regretted not using the Nippon Odour-less Ultra. She spent several nights sleeping on a mattress in the living room to avoid the smell of the paint, which, I thought was fragrant. I’m finally convinced that ‘odour-less’ is not just a marketing gimmick, but is of real benefit to users. It’s now 2 weeks since the paint job and the smell is still strong. My daughter has learned to tolerate it and has since moved back to her room. I’ll do a proper review of the product next week. Meanwhile, the scanned Colour Chart is available below:
