Professional Paint Roller Cover
The PURDY Marathon 2098 is a 9-inch knit fabric roller cover designed for professional painters and serious DIYers tackling large interior or exterior projects. It works with all latex and oil-based paints and primers to deliver flat, eggshell, or satin finishes.
Durable Construction For Repeated Use
A 1-1/2 inch polypropylene core provides a rigid, solvent-resistant backbone that holds its shape across long sessions. The nylon/polyester knit fabric is engineered to last longer and paint further while releasing less lint, reducing cleanup time on drywall, concrete, masonry, and deck surfaces.
3/4 Inch Nap For Semi-Rough To Rough Surfaces
The 3/4-inch nap depth is the critical specification that determines surface compatibility. It carries enough coating to bridge texture on semi-rough and rough substrates like textured drywall or masonry. It is not suited for smooth walls or fine finish work where a shorter nap is required.
