Paint roller cover Polax 8×45×180 mm velour nap for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces

Polax velour paint roller cover 8×45×180 mm is designed for applying solvent- and water-based paints and varnishes on smooth to semi-smooth surfaces. The velour nap holds an even amount of coating and releases it uniformly, producing a fine, consistent finish on walls, ceilings, doors and trim. The cover fits standard roller frames with an 8 mm core and is washable for repeated use, helping to maintain performance over multiple projects.

Advantages

The velour nap provides controlled paint pick-up and smooth release, reducing lap marks and improving coverage. The 45 mm nap height balances paint capacity and surface contact for even application on surfaces with minimal texture. Compatibility with both solvent- and water-based coatings expands its usability across interior and exterior tasks. The washable fabric allows cleaning after use, extending the service life of the roller cover and supporting cost‑effective reuse.

Suitable for

• Applying emulsion and acrylic paints on interior walls and ceilings

How to use

Attach the Polax velour roller cover to a compatible frame with an 8 mm core, ensuring it is securely seated. Pour paint into a tray and load the roller by rolling it through the tray until the nap is evenly saturated. Apply the paint using long, overlapping strokes to achieve a uniform finish. For edges and corners, use a brush or smaller roller, then blend with the velour roller. After finishing, remove excess paint by rolling on scrap cardboard, then clean the cover according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions: rinse thoroughly for water-based paints or use an appropriate solvent for solvent-based coatings. Allow to dry completely before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results on smooth to semi-smooth surfaces, maintain a consistent loading technique and avoid pressing too hard to prevent streaks. Clean the roller cover promptly after use and store it dry to preserve the velour pile and ensure consistent performance on future projects.
