High elasticity flexible paint

Highly Elastic and Flexible Paints

Twist and Bend this Elastic Paint with No Problems!

Regular acrylic paints were not designed to be painted on flexible surfaces, but our Elastic paints are ideal for this purpose. This series of 3 flexible paints were developed to cover most any project requiring an elastic material. The paints have a plastic type of feel, but more importantly, they permit the surface to be twisted and bent with no cracks in the finish.

They are protective, aesthetic and are formulated with the high-quality polyurethane resins that are cross-linked with aliphatic isocyanate groups. In simple terms, this means the elements in the paints are chemically bonded to be elastic, durable, non-yellowing and resistant for outdoor use.

The paints can be used as a Transparent Topcoat or made in any Solid RAL or NCS colour and in many Metallic Metal colours. The finish can be Glossy or Matte.

  • Transparent and Colored Primers
  • Solid Color finishes in any RAL or NCS color
  • Metallic Color finishes like Silver, Gold, Sparkling and Glitter and more…
  • High Gloss and Matte Transparent finishes
  • Soft Touch (rubbery soft feel) and Grip (non-slip) finishes

The surfaces that are commonly painted are elastomers such as Polyurethane, PVC and Natural Rubber. There are many objects that can also benefit from this paint effect:

  • Sports Equipment & Balls
  • Flexible Consumer Products
  • Foam Surfaces or Soft Furniture
  • Leather Goods & Eco-Leather Materials
  • Handbags
  • Shoes & Shoe Soles
  • Fashion Items

It is important to understand that not all flexible materials are suitable to be painted. In particular, Silicone never allows adhesion of paint to the surface. Also if the material has plasticizers in their chemical mix, this can soften the paint and cause adhesion problems over time.

Watch this tutorial video to understand the painting of flexible materials as well as a demonstration of the flexibility of painted surfaces:

If you want to apply this Elastic paint on a foam surface or soft furniture, it is important to understand that these paints are solvent-based and, depending on the type of foam, the paint chemicals can damage the foam surface. We suggest to apply a flexible, water-based polyurethane primer in a light colour and then our Elastic paints can be sprayed on the surface.

These flexible products were developed for commercial and industrial professionals because they are solvent-based spray paints. The painted surfaces can be dried at room temperature or by oven drying that reduces the drying time.

It is recommended to make application tests to check for adhesion and, of course, the paint elasticity on the dried surface. If the material contains plasticizers or silicones, this can have a negative impact on the adhesion and therefore on the resistance of the surface.

The Elastic paints are a technical product, so we recommend to contact the Cromas office to discuss your project requirements so we can suggest the most suitable paints and application process.
