Description
Waterborne Acrylic Dry Fall is a water based, light reflective coating that falls dry in ten feet. Fallout can be swept up for easy cleanup of work area.
Material Use:
Waterborne Acrylic Dryfall is a high-performance, water-based, flat-finish coating designed for interior ceilings and overhead surfaces in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. It is formulated to dry rapidly and fall as dry dust within 10 feet of application, allowing for easy cleanup and minimal overspray contamination. This product is ideal for use in areas where high light reflectance and clean application are required, such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, gymnasiums, and parking garage ceilings not exposed to direct weathering.
System Components:
Waterborne Acrylic Dryfall is typically used as a topcoat in a multi-component system. Depending on the substrate, it may require a compatible primer or block filler. The system may include:
- Primers:
- Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Primer
- Pro Industrial DTM Primer-Finish
- Pro Industrial Kem Bond HS
- Zinc Clad Primer
- Loxon Concrete & Masonry Primer
- Loxon Conditioner
- Pro Industrial Bond-Plex Waterbased Acrylic
- Pro Industrial DTM Bonding Primer
- Premium Wall & Wood Primer
- Block Fillers (for CMU):
- Pro Industrial Heavy Duty Block Filler
- Loxon Acrylic Block Surfacer
- Topcoat:
- 1–2 coats of Waterborne Acrylic Dryfall
Applications:
This product is suitable for use on a variety of properly prepared interior substrates including:
- Structural steel
- Galvanized metal
- Drywall and plaster
- Concrete and masonry
- Wood
- Aluminum
- Pre-finished siding (baked-on finishes)
- Previously painted surfaces

Special Notes:
- This product is intended for professional use only and is not suitable for exterior applications or surfaces exposed to direct weathering.
- During early drying stages (first 16–24 hours), the coating is sensitive to moisture, dew, and high humidity. Avoid exposure to these conditions during this period.
- Overspray may adhere to hot surfaces; remove immediately to prevent permanent adhesion.
- Tinting is possible with up to 2 oz per gallon using CCE colorants; always check color before use.
- Not compliant with SCAQMD and LEED v4 emissions standards.
- Complies with VOC regulations in most regions including OTC, CARB (2007), and Canada.
- Clean tools and equipment with soap and warm water immediately after use.
This product is best used as part of a complete Sherwin-Williams system tailored to the substrate and environmental conditions. Always consult with a Sherwin-Williams representative for project-specific recommendations.
