In a nutshell

Ice Fusion is all about the finish: it beats all other fabrics with emulsion and the trade rate it as the closest you can get to a spray quality finish with a roller, which means no roller texture in the paint film. It’s also the only medium pile roller ProDec recommend for use with satin paints, so it’s a great all-rounder.

Useful to know

Ice Fusion is lint-free so it can be used straight from the bag without pre-washing.The fibres are tightly packed so it takes a couple of loads to get to full capacity.For more information see below

Ice Fusion – the very best finish you can get with a paint roller

Mini rollers are widely used by trade professionals in preference to brushes when painting flat areas with gloss and satin paints as they enable faster, more efficient coverage. They also have the added advantage of leaving no brush marks, which can sometimes be a problem with some water-based trim paints which are much faster drying than the traditional solvent/oil-based versions.

Ice Fusion is 12mm medium pile and is suitable for water-based emulsion paints (eg. matt, silk, eggshell) on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex). Unlike virtually all other medium pile mini rollers, it is also suitable for satin paints. It is made from an advanced blend of polymers to give excellent loading, release and a trade quality ultra-smooth finish that is the closest to a spray finish you can achieve with a roller.

The key feature is Fused Fibre Technology, which is exclusive to ProDec. The fibres are interwoven together, which increases their strength and makes the fabric lint-free: you can genuinely use Ice Fusion straight from the packaging without pre-washing and not have to worry about any fabric shedding as you paint that would slow you down. Fused Fibre Technology makes the fibres semi-elastic: you’ll notice the fabric has a spongey feel when you handle it. This means that during use the fibres bounce back into shape after they’ve been pressed against the surface, so with each stroke you get exactly the same finish quality as the last stroke, right up to the end of the job.

The roller comes in a handy foil sealed, airtight clip close bag, so if the job takes more than one day you can keep paint on the roller wet overnight and get straight back to work the next day.

Handy application hint: Fused Fibres are tightly woven, so it can take a couple of minutes, or a couple of loads, for the paint to work its way into the fabric. For best results, load the roller with paint then leave it for 5-10 minutes to soak in.

PILE DEPTH GUIDE – Selecting the right pile of roller for emulsion or masonry paint is critical to ensuring good coverage and a high quality finish. Use this guide to help you make the right choice.

Short pile

Suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings. Because the pile is shorter it puts down less paint and gives you the smoothest of finishes. It’s good if you’re painting a similar colour over the previous one, but if the colour change is more significant you should consider choosing a medium pile as it will put down more paint and cover better. Short pile rollers can also be used with gloss and satin paints on smooth planed wood and metal.

Medium pile

The most popular pile used with emulsion paints and suitable for smooth and semi-smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall and ceilings (including light to medium textured plasters such as artex). It is suitable for emulsion colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Depending on the fabric type, it can also be used on semi-smooth masonry surfaces such as brick.

Long pile

Suitable for semi-rough and rough surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement and render, where the longer pile is effective at getting into the surface texture, as well as interior walls and ceilings (including medium to heavily textured plasters such as artex). As it lays down plenty of paint it is suitable for colour changes both similar to the previous one and more substantial such as light to dark or vice-versa. Can be used on smooth surfaces but won’t give as good a finish as shorter pile rollers.

Extra long pile

Suitable for rough and very rough masonry surfaces such as brick, breeze block, cement, heavily textured renders, stucco (exterior cement plaster) and pebbledash. It gives maximum paint loading – essential for efficiency when painting masonry so you’re reloading less often – and is effective at getting into surface textures for rapid application without missing areas.

GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR PAINT ROLLER – Here are some useful tips that professional decorators use that will save you time and ensure you get the very best result for your hard work.

Before the first use

Unless it is marketed as being lint-free, before its first use wash the roller in cold or tepid water to remove any loose fibres that would otherwise transfer onto the surface when painting: you’ll save yourself time not having to pick out bits from the paint film. Remove excess water, stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using.

The first paint load

Allow the first paint load to soak down to the core by leaving it for 5-10 minutes. This will enable the roller to more quickly reach its paint holding capacity and maximise the amount you apply with each load, improving your painting efficiency.

Load the roller evenly

Load the roller with paint and use the roll-off area on your tray or scuttle to distribute paint evenly across and around the roller. This will give even application on the surface and save you time by not having to work out paint that would otherwise be dumped on.

Cleaning after use

Remove as much paint from the roller as you can so as little as possible is wasted or goes into drainage systems. Inexpensive tools specially designed for this are available, or you can use a paint scraper or similar tool. Wash emulsion paints and water-based gloss, satin and woodstains with warm (not hot) water, with a small amount of detergent if it helps. Wash solvent-based paints with white spirit – do not wash white spirit down sinks; use a container and appropriate gloves and dispose of the solvent carefully. Stand the roller on its end and allow it to dry fully (ideally overnight) before using again.
