Behr Scuff Defense Paint and Primer

Have you ever painted a room only to find the new flat finish scuffed up a day or two later? That’s not even a question if you have small children, but the problem is real for all of us!

Fortunately, Behr has the solution.


The Power of NanoGuard Technology

Behr’s Ultra Scuff Defense Stain-Blocking Paint and Primer in One creates an extra protective shell that provides you peace of mind.

The magic ingredient is NanoGuard technology that allows Behr to pack super-small particles, making its flat paint much more durable.

So, even a flat finish — which usually hides imperfections well, but is less durable compared to alternatives — continues to look new longer.


Having the Best of Both Worlds

The real benefit of Behr’s Ultra Scuff Defense Stain-Blocking Paint and Primer in One is that even with a “flat” sheen, you can have the scuff resistance of gloss — a rich finish tough enough for high-traffic areas.

So, you don’t have to compromise from the “flat” finish look you want to get the durability you need!

Scuff Defense features an antimicrobial mildew-resistant finish, along with a stain-blocking, stain-resistant formula, so when you do have to clean it, the job is easy — just grab some soap and water.
