Autentico Protex offers the easiest finish in our range of waxes. It is water-based, has almost no odour, and is transparent. It is easy to apply with a cotton cloth. 

It is ideal for quickly protecting furniture painted with Autentico Vintage chalk paint and making walls painted with Autentico Venice or Volterra water-repellent. 

Preparation: Make sure the surface is clean, dry and stable. When applying to freshly painted walls and surfaces, ensure the paint is fully cured. Autentico Vintage chalk paint dries and hardens quickly. You can apply PROTEX days after painting. Let the paint fully cure if you want to use PROTEX over Venice chalk paint or Volterra chalk/plaster paint. This curing process takes about three weeks.

APPLICATION: Spray the liquid on a cotton cloth and immediately rub the surface with the liquid. Repeat this treatment after half an hour. Allow to dry for about 2 hours. Spraying directly on the surface is not recommended as white spots may appear.

COVERAGE: 500 ml covers about 15-20 m2, depending on the surface profile and porosity. Apply two coats or as many as required.

DRYING TIME: Touch dry in 30 minutes, recoat in 4 hours (depending on temperature and surface).

CLEANING AND REMOVAL: Clean with warm water and soap. Do not pour unused products into drains or watercourses.

Our processes are waste-free, and all paint formulations are designed to have minimal impact on user health.
