Dalray Acrylic Sealer
Dalray Acrylic Sealer is a water-based clear protective coating selected specifically for use over Dalray Limewash.
Limewash is naturally a breathable mineral finish, and wherever possible, we recommend leaving it unsealed to retain its natural movement, texture and character. However, walls in hallways, busy family homes, commercial spaces and other high-touch areas can benefit from additional protection.
Applied over fully cured Dalray Limewash, our Acrylic Sealer helps reduce surface transfer and improves the durability of the finished surface, with minimal change to the look and character of the limewash.
Our approach is simple: seal the areas that need additional protection and leave the rest unsealed where practical.
Protection where you need it. Breathability where you don’t.

Coverage & application
Coverage: Approximately 15m² per litre, per coat, depending on surface porosity, texture and application method.
Coats: Apply 1–3 thin coats depending on the level of protection required. One coat may be sufficient for areas requiring light protection, while two to three coats can be applied where greater durability and protection are desired. Allow each coat to dry completely before recoating.
Application: We recommend using a microfibre roller to apply thin, even coats. Can also be applied by brush or spray.
Recoat: Wait until the previous coat is completely dry before recoating. Under normal conditions (25°C), the coating may be touch dry in approximately 30 minutes and ready for recoating after approximately 3 hours. Allow longer in cold or humid conditions.
Full cure: Approximately 28 days.
Masking: If masking over Dalray Limewash or Acrylic Sealer, always use a low-tack, sensitive-surface painter’s tape. Standard or high-tack masking tapes may lift or damage the limewash or sealed finish when removed. Remove tape slowly and carefully, and avoid leaving it in place longer than necessary.
Important information
Always test the sealer on a small, inconspicuous area before coating the entire surface.
Applying an acrylic sealer will reduce the natural breathability and moisture-regulating properties of the limewash finish. Sealing may also slightly alter the colour depth, sheen, texture and mottling of the finished surface.
For this reason, we recommend using Dalray Acrylic Sealer selectively in areas where additional protection is needed, while leaving other limewashed surfaces unsealed where practical.
Dalray Acrylic Sealer is designed for interior use only. It is not suitable for areas subject to regular water saturation or pooling, or high-wear surfaces such as flooring and benchtops. It is not a waterproofing membrane and should not be relied upon to prevent water ingress.

Coats: 1–3 thin coats, depending on the protection required
Recommended tool: Microfibre roller
Recoat: Approximately 3 hours at 25°C; allow longer in cold or humid conditions
Full cure: Approximately 28 days
Touch dry: Approximately 30 minutes under normal conditions (25°C). Touch dry does not mean ready to recoat or fully cured.
Where to use
Use selectively over fully cured Dalray Limewash on interior walls that need additional protection, such as hallways and other high-touch areas.
Not suitable for exterior surfaces, floors, benchtops, direct splash zones, or areas exposed to regular water saturation, standing or pooling water. It is not a waterproofing membrane.
Suitable areas include hallways, entryways, busy family homes and commercial spaces. It helps reduce surface transfer and improve durability.
In bathrooms subject to regular humidity, the application guide recommends a compatible breathable mineral sealer. Dalray Acrylic Sealer may be suitable in well-ventilated bathrooms or powder rooms where humidity is limited and surfaces are outside direct splash zones. It should not be relied upon to prevent water ingress.
Application
- Apply only over fully cured Dalray Limewash. Test a small, inconspicuous area before coating the entire surface.
- Use a microfibre roller to apply thin, even coats. The product can also be applied by brush or spray.
- Apply 1–3 coats: one coat may be sufficient for light protection; two to three coats can be used where greater durability and protection are desired.
- Allow each coat to dry completely before recoating. At 25°C, allow approximately 3 hours; allow longer in cold or humid conditions.
Full cure takes approximately 28 days. Follow the product label directions and the sealer manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
Appearance & breathability
An acrylic coating reduces the natural breathability and moisture-regulating properties of limewash. Sealing may slightly alter colour depth, sheen, texture and mottling. Leave limewash unsealed where practical, and test the finish before proceeding.
Coverage by tin size
At approximately 15m² per litre per coat, a 2L tin provides around 30m² of single-coat coverage and a 4L tin around 60m².
For two coats, allow approximately 15m² per 2L tin or 30m² per 4L tin. For three coats, allow approximately 10m² or 20m² respectively.
These are planning estimates calculated from the published coverage rate. Actual coverage varies with surface porosity, texture and application method.
Masking and finish precautions
If masking over Dalray Limewash or Acrylic Sealer, always use a low-tack, sensitive-surface painter’s tape. Standard or high-tack masking tapes may lift or damage the limewash or sealed finish when removed. Remove tape slowly and carefully, and avoid leaving it in place longer than necessary.
Sealing may slightly alter colour depth, sheen, texture and mottling, and reduces natural breathability. Always test the complete finish first.
