Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Easy Clean is an interior wall paint that provides excellent coverage for your interior walls. This wall paint is of the highest quality due to its coverage class 1 and scrub class 1. The advantage of this wall paint is that it is designed for treating all interior surfaces such as plasterwork, masonry, old intact paint layers, concrete, and Meesterhand glass fibre systems.
Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Easy Clean is a matt water-based wall paint. We can mix this paint in any colour. This wall paint is intended for interior walls that have been pre-treated according to the guidelines. It is a premium product of professional quality, as Sikkens is a brand of the Dutch paint company AkzoNobel. Sikkens is generally considered one of the best brands/products in the field of paint and varnish. Due to its reliability, quality, and long lifespan, many painting companies and professional painters use Sikkens paint.
Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Easy Clean has high coverage with excellent flow. This means you won’t have to worry about your paintwork for years to come. True to its name, "Easy Clean," this wall paint is easy to clean. Sikkens wall paints can be cleaned effortlessly with your usual cleaning products. The ideal application temperature is between 5-30 degrees Celsius, with a maximum humidity of 85%. Under ideal conditions (20 degrees), this wall paint is repaintable after 6 hours, allowing you to complete the job over the weekend. Another major advantage of this wall paint is that it is ready to use and does not need to be diluted. Of course, you can dilute the first layer if needed. If so, use water or, preferably, an acrylic thinner. Sikkens Alpha Rezisto is airless sprayable or can be applied with a wall paint roller or brush.
Which brush do I need?
For applying wall paint, it is important to choose the right brush. The right brush ensures the latex is applied evenly, with optimal absorption and release. We believe the VP synthetic all-round brush contains the right fibres for the best result. This brush is made up of different fibres, combining traditional pig bristles with a selection of synthetic fibres.
Which paint roller do I need?
When using a roller, it is desirable to create a smooth and even finish. You don’t want to be picking lint out of your paintwork. Absorption and release are essential here. We recommend using the Toptex wall paint roller for working with wall paint/latex. This roller performs best in our tests.
What is this product used for?
Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Easy Clean is suitable for protecting your interior walls. Alpha Rezisto is an easy-to-apply product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. If you have newly plastered walls, we always recommend using a primer. This prevents the wall from absorbing too much paint and fills all small pores, ensuring your expensive wall paint is not absorbed into the walls.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sikkens wall paints is 9 to 11 m² per litre. However, our experience is slightly different, as most painters achieve a coverage of 7 to 8 m² per litre with Sikkens wall paints. It’s better to have a little too much paint than too little.

What makes this product special
This Sikkens wall paint has a scrub class of 1, which means the paint will not wear easily when wiped with a cloth. You can clean this paint without any issues. Additionally, thanks to its high coverage, Sikkens wall paint allows you to cover more area with less paint.
Do I need a primer
Before treating your wall with wall paint/latex, it is important to determine if you need to apply primer. The good news is that you can easily find out yourself by performing a simple test. Take a wet sponge and press it against the wall. If the wall absorbs the water, then a primer is necessary. If the wall does not absorb any moisture, no pre-treatment is required.
What can I use to dilute wall paint
Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Easy Clean is an acrylic-based wall paint, which is another term for water-based paint. You can dilute this wall paint with water, but for optimal dilution, it is recommended to use an acrylic thinner.
What scrub class does this product have
Wall paint is categorised into scrub classes ranging from class 5 to class 1, with class 1 being the best. Wall paint with a scrub class of 1 allows you to clean your walls with a cloth without damaging the paint layer, ensuring your paint has a longer lifespan. Scrub classes are determined by machine scrubbing a sponge over the paint layer. The longer the paint layer remains intact, the higher the scrub class.
What are the scrub classes?
Scrub class 1: The highest quality you can get in wall paint.
Scrub class 2: The most commonly used and sold in the Netherlands.
Scrub class 3: This paint contains a lot of chalk, making it thick and heavy. Frequently sold in DIY stores.
Scrub classes 4 and 5: These are very low-quality classes and are rarely available in paint shops, and even less so in DIY stores.
What does scrub class mean
This wall paint has a scrub class of 1, the highest level currently available. A wall paint with a scrub class of 1 is not only highly resistant to stains but can also be cleaned without any issues. Additionally, latex paint in scrub class 1 is extremely durable and offers excellent coverage. It is wear-resistant and provides exceptional longevity.
Are there any alternatives?
Sikkens Alphatex IQ Matt: The Sikkens Alphatex IQ Matt is exactly the same product, but this wall paint is also suitable for exterior walls.
Relius R1 Pro: Looking for a good alternative? The Relius R1 Pro also has a scrub class of 1 and coverage class of 1. With the right preparation, one coat is enough to make the wall fully covered.
VP Extra Matt: This wall paint is our own brand, which we’ve brought to the market ourselves. This is also reflected in the price. If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative that still has the same qualities and a matte finish, this is the product for you.
