Imagine this situation: after another roof leak or flooding from the neighbors, yellow, brown, or rusty stains appear on the ceiling. You’ve already painted the ceiling with new paint, but after a few days the stains show through again, as if mocking your efforts. Sound familiar?

This is exactly why Polifarb created Izomal — a special isolating stain-blocking paint.

I first encountered Izomal when I was renovating an apartment after a burst pipe. The ceiling and walls had terrible water and rust stains. Regular primer and paint didn’t help — the stains kept coming back. After using Izomal, everything changed: I applied two coats, waited a few hours, and the stains disappeared forever. Then I calmly painted over it with regular interior paint — the result was perfect, with no “ghosts” from the past.

So what makes Izomal so powerful?

It is a special isolating paint that creates a dense barrier and blocks the penetration of any stains:

• water and mold stains after flooding,

• rusty leaks from metal reinforcement or pipes,

• nicotine, soot, and greasy stains,

• marks from markers, coffee, wine, and other contaminants.

After drying, Izomal forms a strong, vapor-permeable coating onto which you can safely apply any finishing interior paints from Polifarb (Diamond, Ekofarba, Interior, and others).

Key advantages:

• Reliably blocks even very stubborn stains.

• Dries quickly — you can apply the topcoat in just 4–6 hours.

• Almost odorless.

• Easy to apply with a brush, roller, or spray gun.

• Suitable for ceilings, walls, drywall, concrete, plaster, and other mineral surfaces indoors.

• Helps save time and nerves during renovation.

Izomal is especially convenient to use in old houses, apartments after tenants, kitchens, stairwells, or anywhere stubborn stains keep appearing.

The manufacturer’s recommendation is simple: clean the surface from dust and flaking layers, stir Izomal well, apply 1–2 coats (depending on the intensity of the stains), wait 4–6 hours until fully dry, and then paint with your favorite decorative paint.

In short: Izomal is a real “rescuer” for those who want to get rid of the problem of recurring stains once and for all. Instead of repainting the ceiling several times, you block the issue in one go — and enjoy a clean, beautiful surface.
