Paint Roller Cover Polax Microfiber 8x48x180 mm for Smooth and Semi-Smooth Surfaces

Polax Microfiber paint roller cover 8x48x180 mm is designed for application on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces. The microfiber pile ensures uniform paint pickup and release, reducing streaks and visible roller marks. This roller cover fits standard 8 mm core frames and is compatible with water- and solvent-based paints, varnishes and primers, offering consistent results on walls, ceilings and furniture where an even finish is required.

Advantages

The microfiber structure provides improved paint retention and controlled release for fewer passes and more even coverage. Its low nap height minimizes texture replication on smooth and semi-smooth substrates, while the resilient backing maintains shape and fit on standard 8 mm core roller frames. The cover is suitable for both waterborne and solvent-based formulations, giving flexibility across preparation, priming and finishing stages.

Suitable for

• Applying water- and solvent-based paints on interior walls and ceilings
• Finishing semi-smooth plaster, drywall and previously painted surfaces
• Applying primers and varnishes to prepare surfaces for topcoat
• Small to medium furniture and trim painting where a uniform finish is needed

Key specifications

• Pile material: microfiber for enhanced paint pickup and release
• Dimensions: 8 mm core compatibility, 48 mm diameter, 180 mm length
• Recommended surface type: smooth to semi-smooth substrates
• Compatible paint types: water-based (latex) and solvent-based formulations
• Nap height: low profile to reduce texture replication

How to use

Attach the roller cover to a compatible 8 mm core frame, ensuring a secure fit without wobble. Load the cover by rolling it in a paint tray or roller grid until evenly saturated, then remove excess by rolling on the tray ridge or on a clean surface. Apply paint using steady, overlapping strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. For consistent results on large areas, work in sections and reload the roller as needed. After use, clean according to the paint type: rinse with water for water-based paints or use the appropriate solvent for solvent-based products; allow to dry before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces, use with a high-quality paint and maintain a wet edge during application. Replace the cover when fibers become matted or if it begins to shed to preserve finish quality.
