COMMON PROBLEMS IN PAINTS

Flaking

Chalking

Efflorescence & Fungus Formation

WHAT IS THE CAUSE FOR ALL THESE PROBLEMS? Is it Paint (Or) Painter (Or) Something Else It is due to “Dampness” COMMON PROBLEMS IN PAINTS THE FACT: EMULSION/ ENAMEL/ DISTEMPER PAINTS CAN NOT WITHSTAND SUSTAINED DAMPNESS THESE PAINTS ADHERE BETTER TO THE SURFACE AS LONG AS IT IS DRY.

NEW WALLS ARE GENERALLY DAMP AND HENCE THE ACRYLLIC PAINTS/ PUTTY MAY NOT ADHERE (BIND/ STICK) TO THE SURFACE PROPERLY

HENCE THE PAINT NEEDS A BASE WHICH PROVIDES A DRY SURFACE & AT THE SAME TIME SHOULD WITHSTAND DAMPNESS TOO, FOR DURABILITY

is a definite solution to protect the expensive paints and also to enhance the beauty of your walls. USING

WHAT IS WALL CARE PUTTY?  White Cement based material in dry powder form ideal for use on walls (exteriors & interiors) and ceilings, known as “skim coat” in Singapore  Available in fine and coarse (matt) finish  Cementious material to obtain water resistant base having better adhesiveness and durability  Base coat to protect paint from dampness and hence to eliminate flaking / blistering  Can be used for both - Internals and Externals

WHY WALL CARE PUTTY?  Most of us plan to beautify our homes through painting without knowing as to how the painting can be ensured to last long  Just as strong foundation ensures high durability for building, an appropriate base on which paint is applied will only ensure life of the paint  Paint generally flake / blister because of dampness. WCP, being water resistant, protects paint from dampness  WCP provides protective base to our expensive paints – reduces paint consumption (20 to 25%) and so saves paint cost  Can be applied on moist surfaces as well as during rainy season  Needs no water curing  Needs no primer  Suitable for all kind of paints & distempers  Brings out the true color / shade of paint  Contains fungicides
