Made from specific pigments that have been approved by television and film studios to give accurate cut out precision. These pigments and colours are highly specialised, Mylands have put in many years of research and development to provide exactly what the industry wants. Used by the BBC for nearly 50 years and our paints, polishes, lacquers and varnishes have been used on most major productions at Shepperton, Pinewood, Elstree and many other of the UK’s better known film studios.
This high opacity Flame Retardant vinyl emulsion paint was originally formulated in the 1950’s and has been updated over the years. The dead flat matt formulation enhances the depth of natural pigment colours making for an easier keying process.
Scenic Artists, Master Painters, Architects, Interior Designers and absolute pigment purists love the chalky appearance of this product manufactured by master paint makers in our factory in London.
