Asian Paints Decoprime Advanced Wall Primer – Water Thinnable (WT)

Asian Paints Decoprime Advanced Wall Primer: The Superior Base for Interiors

A flawless paint finish isn’t just about the topcoat; it’s about what lies beneath. Asian Paints Decoprime Advanced Wall Primer is a premium water-thinnable primer designed to provide the ultimate foundation for your interior walls. Upgraded from standard primers, this advanced formula offers superior whiteness, opacity, and moisture resistance, ensuring your walls look pristine and painted for longer.

Asian Paints Decoprime Advanced Wall Primer acts as a robust bridge between the plaster and the paint. It penetrates the porous surface to seal it effectively, preventing the absorption of expensive topcoats. Whether you are dealing with mild dampness or simply want the brightest possible finish for your interior wall paint, this primer delivers exceptional performance that standard economy primers cannot match.

Why Choose Asian Paints Decoprime Advanced Wall Primer?

While standard primers provide basic adhesion, Asian Paints Decoprime Advanced Wall Primer goes a step further:

• Superior Whiteness & Opacity: It creates a brilliant white canvas. This high opacity hides the underlying cement or dark patches better, meaning your topcoat color appears truer and more vibrant with fewer coats.
• Moisture Resistance: It is fortified to resist mild dampness and efflorescence (salt patches), protecting your walls from the inside out.
• Better Spread: Its smooth consistency allows it to spread evenly, covering more area per liter than standard primers.

Key Features

• Advanced Adhesion: Bonds aggressively to the substrate, preventing peeling and flaking of the finish paint.
• Alkali Resistant: Chemically formulated to neutralize the alkalinity of new cement plaster, preventing spot discoloration.
• Quick Drying: Dries rapidly, allowing you to apply putty or topcoat within hours.
• Breathable Film: Allows trapped moisture vapor to escape without causing blisters.
• Eco-Friendly: Contains no added lead, mercury, or chromium.

Recommended Application Areas

This advanced interior primer is ideal for:

• New Masonry: Freshly plastered walls that need sealing against alkali.
• Repainting: Covering old, dark colors or stained surfaces before applying a new light shade.
• Moisture-Prone Zones: Walls near bathrooms or kitchens that face mild humidity.
• Premium Finishes: The perfect base for Royale and Apcolite Premium emulsions.
