Indigo Waterproof Polymer Putty (Gold Series): Enhanced Waterproofing Base Coat
When your walls need protection against rain and moisture right from the foundation layer, **Indigo Waterproof Polymer Putty (Gold Series)** is the premium solution. This is an advanced, white, cement-based powder wall putty specifically formulated with high-performance polymers and water-repellent chemicals. It is designed to be mixed with water to create a dense, highly water-resistant base for both interior and demanding exterior walls.
The Gold Series enhances the core benefits of polymer putty with superior moisture resistance. It fills pores, dents, and hairline cracks, creating a surface that is not only smooth but also minimizes water absorption, offering an essential layer of defense against dampness and peeling paint.
Why Choose Indigo Waterproof Polymer Putty (Gold Series)?
For longevity and protection, especially in humid or high-rainfall areas, this Gold Series offers: [Image of cement putty application on a wall]
- Enhanced Water Shield: Contains additives that make the base layer highly water-repellent, reducing capillary water movement in the plaster.
- Superior Strength & Adhesion: The polymer fortification ensures excellent bonding strength to the substrate, preventing the putty from flaking, even in humid conditions.
- Excellent Whiteness: Provides a brilliant white base that maximizes the colour and finish quality of your chosen emulsion topcoat.

How to Apply Indigo Waterproof Polymer Putty (Gold Series)
Proper mixing and application ensure maximum waterproofing performance:
- 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).
- Mixing: Slowly add **Indigo Waterproof 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. Use within the specified pot life.
- 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.
- Second Coat: Apply the second coat thinly to level out any remaining undulations. Allow 6-8 hours to dry.
- 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: Is this product suitable for severe dampness?
A: While highly water-resistant, for severe, continuous dampness or rising damp, a specialized Damp-Proof Coating (like Indigo Damp Stop 2K) should be used as the base layer before this putty.
Q: Does the “Waterproof” feature eliminate the need for exterior primer?
A: No. Primer is still required *after* putty and sanding to ensure proper adhesion, consistent finish, and maximum durability of the final topcoat paint.
Q: What is the benefit of the polymer addition?
A: The polymers increase the product’s flexibility, improve adhesion, reduce shrinkage cracks, and enhance the overall lifespan and integrity of the coating system.
