The product, in perspective.
Unitint is a colour concentrate listed for compatible enamel, emulsion and distemper products. Request the colour required and name the coating to be tinted so compatibility can be checked.
A colour concentrate for compatible enamel and water-based coatings. An inspiration colour is not an exact manufacturer code or a verified tinting formula. Confirm the desired shade and base coating together.
Where it works.
The documented surface or use for Unitint Universal Stainer is compatible enamels, water-based emulsions and distempers. Identify the actual material and its condition before selecting the preparation and finishing system. An existing coating, a newly prepared base and a repaired area can need different treatment.

- Available quotation packs and component requirements are checked for your selected product, rather than inferred from another grade.
Before you start.
Shake the concentrate and identify the exact compatible base coating. Check the tinting instructions before combining colour concentrates or preparing a larger quantity.
For a useful specification check, share whether the surface is bare or previously treated, the name of the existing coating if known, and any visible damage or moisture exposure. Preparation products should be selected for that condition before the finishing material is applied.
Application and project planning.
Add the colour concentrate gradually while stirring the compatible white base, before thinning the base paint, as specified in the sheet.
An inspiration colour is not an exact manufacturer code or a verified tinting formula. Confirm the desired shade and base coating together.
Measure the area to be treated and allow for the number of coats required by the coating system. Surface texture, absorption, application method and material losses can change the amount needed. Tell us the area and proposed system when requesting packs; the published coverage is a planning reference, not a guarantee of your project’s consumption.

Good questions, useful answers.
When should it be added to the base paint?
The sheet specifies adding the concentrate before thinning the compatible base coating, with thorough stirring as it is introduced.
What should I include in my quotation?
Give the exact product name, requested pack size, quantity and relevant colour reference. Add the surface, application and destination so the product and delivery requirements can be checked together.
How do I choose the right pack and quantity?
Use the available pack choices and the quantity required by your coating or installation plan. Tell us the area, number of coats or relevant joint dimensions if you need help assembling a material list.
Can I confirm a colour from the product picture?
The image represents product packaging, not an exact shade match. Use a manufacturer colour reference for a coloured product, or specify that colour is not applicable for the material you need.
Keep the specification close.
Use the full manufacturer technical information when planning preparation and application. Include the exact product and system details when contacting KariVex about a quotation.
