Sikkens Alphacryl Pure Mat SF 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.
Sikkens Alphacryl Pure Mat SF has high coverage with excellent flow. This means you won’t have to worry about your paintwork for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Product
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 roller do I need?
When using a wall paint 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. Read more about which wall paint roller to use for your project.
When should I use this product?
Sikkens Alphacryl Pure Mat SF is suitable for protecting your interior and exterior walls. Alphacryl 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.

Surface preparation
Before starting your project, we advise always cleaning the surface. For example, use St Marc degreaser. No matter the surface, whether it’s concrete, wood, stone, or wallpaper, always clean it to ensure optimal adhesion.
What makes this product special?
This wall paint from Sikkens has a scrub class 1, meaning that if you wipe it with a cloth, the paint will not wear away quickly. You can clean this paint without any issues. Additionally, with Sikkens wall paint’s superior coverage, you can cover more area per litre.
Do I need a primer?
Before treating your wall with paint/latex, it's important to determine if a primer is necessary. The great thing is that you can easily find out yourself by doing a simple test. Take a wet sponge and press it against the wall. If the wall absorbs the water, a primer is needed first. If the wall does not absorb moisture, no pre-treatment is required. For more tips and information, you can read our blog about applying primer.
Are there any alternatives?
