Weatherproof Your Walls: ActivCoat Primer - Superior Adhesion, Unbeatable Durability

03, December 2024

What is a Primer?

In the world of painting and home improvement, a primer is a second coat applied to surfaces before the next coat of white cement-based putty and the final coat of paint. Putty creates a stable base for primer, ensuring that the wall putty adheres more effectively while sealing the surface to prevent moisture. They’re crucial for preparing the wall’s surface, covering imperfections, and protecting walls from moisture and other environmental elements. Primers can be used on a variety of surfaces like drywall, wood, metal, and masonry, each having specific formulations designed to suit the surface’s unique needs.

 

Primer for walls: How does it protect your walls?

Primers not only improve paint adhesion but also serve as a shield against environmental factors. When you apply a white cement-based putty before primer, it fills minor cracks, holes, and surface imperfections, ensuring a smooth and even base for primer and paint. Primer blocks stains from seeping through and safeguards walls against mould and mildew, adding to the overall durability of the wall finish.

Primers also contribute to energy efficiency by reducing paint wastage and ensuring fewer recoats. With their help, you achieve an even finish with fewer coats, reducing costs and labour while extending the lifespan of your walls.

 

Introducing Our Primer

When it comes to enhancing the durability of your walls and ensuring superior adhesion, our product sets a new benchmark in wall protection. 

Created by Birla White, a leading name in high-quality construction solutions, our product is a weatherproof interior primer that offers an outstanding level of durability and resilience. It’s specially formulated to protect walls against the vagaries of weather, making it the go-to choice for those looking to maximize the longevity of their wall paint.

It is designed to be used as an undercoat for interior walls, creating an ideal base that ensures the paint adheres firmly, even in challenging conditions. It’s perfect for areas with varying humidity levels, such as kitchens and bathrooms, where walls are more vulnerable to moisture.

 

HOW IT HELPS IN ADHESION AND DURABILITY

1. Enhanced Adhesion for a Stronger Bond

The white primer for walls that is applied after putty provides exceptional adhesion, minimising paint absorption, ensuring consistent colour and reducing paint wastage. It ensures that the prime coat stays in place and is less likely to peel, chip, or flake. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas where walls are more prone to damage and wear. The superior bonding offered by it not only enhances the aesthetics of your walls but also extends the lifespan of the same.

The secret lies in its unique formulation, which includes advanced polymers that create a strong grip on the wall surface. This reduces the need for multiple coats of putty and ensures that the final coat of is vibrant and durable. For homes and commercial spaces, where longevity is a priority, the primer provides a solid foundation that makes future repaints easier and more effective.

2. Unbeatable Durability Against Moisture and Humidity

Moisture is a primary cause of wall damage, leading to issues like bubbling, cracking, and mould growth. The primer has excellent water-resistance properties that protect walls from the adverse effects of humidity and moisture. When applied after white cement-based putty, it enhances the final look and quality of the painted surface.

This feature is especially beneficial in regions with high humidity or during the monsoon season. Our primer’s moisture-resistant capabilities make it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas prone to dampness. It allows the topcoat paint to perform optimally without being compromised by moisture, ensuring a beautiful finish that stands the test of time.

3. Protection Against Stains and Efflorescence

One of the remarkable benefits of primer is its ability to block stains and prevent efflorescence, a condition where white, powdery deposits appear on painted surfaces. Efflorescence occurs when water evaporates from walls, leaving salt deposits that can mar the appearance of your putty. By applying it, you add a protective layer that prevents these unsightly deposits from seeping through.

Our primer also resists various stains caused by smoke, grease, and everyday dirt, keeping your walls looking fresh and clean longer. This is particularly useful in households with children or pets, where stains and marks on walls are common.

4. UV Resistance for Long-lasting Color

In addition to moisture and stain resistance, our product offers excellent UV resistance. Over time, exposure to sunlight can cause paint colours to fade, diminishing the vibrancy of your walls. Its UV-resistant properties help the paint maintain its original colour for a longer period, ensuring that your walls look as good as new even years after application.

For homes with rooms that receive direct sunlight, ActivCoat is a game-changer. It prevents UV rays from deteriorating the paint’s pigments, allowing you to enjoy your chosen wall colour without frequent touch-ups or recoats. This resistance not only saves you time and money on maintenance but also enhances the visual appeal of your interiors.

5. Smooth Finish for a Professional Look

Primers play a significant role in the final appearance of painted walls, and our product is no exception. Our putty fills in minor surface imperfections, ensuring that the primer is applied smoothly and uniformly. The result is a flawless finish that exudes a professional touch and elevates the overall aesthetics of your space.

This smooth finish is essential for achieving that luxurious, clean look that every homeowner desires. Whether you’re painting new walls or refreshing older ones, our primer’s levelling properties and putty’s superior performance in fixing cracks and holes ensure that your walls have a uniform texture, free from visible flaws or inconsistencies. This, in turn, enhances the effect of the paint, making colours appear richer and more vibrant.
