Download Guide

The updated Dulux® Weathershield® formulation builds on decades of exterior performance expertise. While retaining the application qualities professionals trust, the new formulation delivers improved resistance to weathering, dirt and colour fade, with enhanced UV protection to help maintain sheen and keep exterior coatings looking better for longer.

What’s new in Weathershield®

  • MaxiFlex® Technology

  • Self priming on most surfaces

  • Tough & hard wearing

  • Strong sun protection

  • Improved Mould & algae protection

  • Improved dirt resistance

  • Easy to wash down

  • Improved Colour fade resistance

  • Minimum 5°C application

  • Extended open time

Proven through decades of exposure testing

Dulux® has been testing exterior coatings in real-world conditions for over 50 years, with exposure sites across Australia and New Zealand. These environments subject coatings to extreme UV, heat, moisture and weather cycles - providing critical insight into long-term exterior performance across four key areas: resistance to colour fading, sheen level retention, mould and algae resistance, and improved dirt resistance.

Accelerated weathering technology further allows years of exposure to be simulated in controlled conditions, supporting continuous product improvement.
