Indigo Polymer Putty – Silver Series (Premium Acrylic Putty)

Indigo Polymer Putty – Silver Series: Durable Cement-Based Wall Putty for Smooth Walls

For walls that demand a solid, smooth foundation, **Indigo Polymer Putty – Silver Series** is the reliable choice. This is a white, cement-based powder wall putty fortified with special polymers, designed to be mixed with water to create a robust base for emulsions and distempers. It fills small pores, dents, and surface imperfections on bare plaster, ensuring your topcoat paint looks flat, rich, and uniform.

The Silver Series Polymer Putty offers superior durability and better adhesion compared to traditional white cement putty. It is suitable for both interior and exterior walls, providing a strong, water-resistant base that helps prevent paint flaking and peeling over time.

Why Choose Indigo Polymer Putty (Silver Series)?

While ready-made paste putties are convenient, polymer-modified cement putty offers distinct advantages in strength and resistance:

• Superior Strength: The cementitious base, enhanced with polymers, provides high tensile strength and compressive strength, making the finished wall surface hard and highly durable.
• Water Resistance: Creates a semi-waterproof base layer, reducing capillary water absorption in walls and protecting the plaster underneath.
• Excellent Whiteness: Provides a pure white base that dramatically improves the true colour and brightness of the applied paint shade.
• Breathability: It allows the wall to “breathe,” meaning water vapour can still escape, minimizing the risk of internal dampness issues.

How to Apply Indigo Polymer Putty (Silver Series)

Proper mixing and application ensure maximum performance:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall is clean, free of loose paint, dust, oil, and grease. Moisten the wall thoroughly with clean water before application (but avoid standing water).
2. Mixing: Slowly add **Indigo Polymer Putty** powder to clean water (approximately 30-40% water by weight of the putty). Mix continuously for 5-10 minutes with a hand mixer or electric mixer until a smooth, lump-free paste is achieved.
3. First Coat: Apply the first coat thinly (less than 1.5mm thick) using a steel trowel or putty knife. Allow 4-6 hours to dry.
4. Second Coat: Apply the second coat thinly to level out any remaining undulations. Allow 6-8 hours to dry.
5. Sanding & Priming: Sand the dried surface with fine sandpaper (180 or 220 grit) until perfectly smooth. Always apply a coat of wall primer after sanding putty to seal the surface before painting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need a primer before using this putty?
A: Priming before cement putty is not typically required, but you **must** apply a coat of wall primer *after* the putty and sanding, just before the final paint topcoat.

Q: Can I use this on already painted walls?
A: You must scrape or sand away all loose paint and repair any severe defects first. This putty is best applied to the original plaster surface.

Q: What is the maximum thickness I can apply?
A: Apply in thin layers (maximum 1.5mm per coat). Total applied thickness should not exceed 3mm. Thick application can lead to cracking.
