Polycell Trade Tests

Tests have shown that when it comes to good preparation, nothing beats the performance of Polycell Trade Interior or Exterior Polyfilla. Under independent analysis by the PRA Coating Technology Centre, both products have far outperformed their rivals.

The PRA Coating Technology Centre ‘blind tested’ a range of interior, exterior and all purpose fillers on different criteria, including consistency and ease of application, evenness of set and smoothness, finish after painting and adhesion.

The scores across each criteria were totalled for every product and both Polycell Trade Interior and Exterior Polyfilla came out on top, next to comparative products.

“As it’s developed by ICI Paints, the manufacturers of Dulux Trade, Polycell Trade certainly comes from the best of breed,” says Helen Cooper Polycell Trade Brand Manager. “Using combined expertise, Polycell Trade products are formulated specifically for the trade and are completely compatible with paint. We’ve known it all along, but now they’ve been proven to be the best.”

High in plaster content and low in cement, Polycell Trade Interior Polyfilla offers excellent mixability and great adhesion. It’s ideal for filling and repairing cracks and holes in walls, ceilings, skirtings, doors, window frames, plasterboard, brick, stone and most other building materials.

Polycell Trade Exterior Polyfilla is high in concrete content and low in plaster to deliver powerful adhesion, toughness and impact resistance. The product can be used to ensure rock-hard, all weather repairs to paths, drives, window sills, lintels, brickwork, rendering, concrete floors, roofs and more.
