Asian Paints Ace Advanced: The Water-Resistant Upgrade for Exteriors
Protecting your home from the elements doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Asian Paints Ace Advanced is the superior exterior emulsion designed to offer enhanced protection and durability compared to standard economy paints. While traditional cement paints fade and absorb water, this water-based acrylic emulsion creates a robust shield against rain and humidity.
Asian Paints Ace Advanced is formulated with specialized water-resistant additives that prevent moisture from penetrating the wall surface. This not only keeps your home dry but also significantly reduces the growth of algae and fungi, which are common issues in economy exterior finishes. Whether you are painting a bungalow or a boundary wall, this exterior wall paint delivers a rich, matt finish that stays cleaner and brighter for longer.
Why Choose Asian Paints Ace Advanced?
If you are looking for a paint that bridges the gap between economy and premium, this is the perfect choice. Here is why upgrading to Asian Paints Ace Advanced is worth it:
- Superior Water Resistance: Unlike basic Ace or cement paint, the “Advanced” formula forms a film that actively repels water, reducing dampness and peeling.
- Enhanced Anti-Algal Protection: It contains powerful biocides that fight off black spots and algal patches better than standard emulsions, keeping your walls looking fresh even after the monsoon.
- No Water Curing: Forget the hassle of watering walls for days. This emulsion cures by air drying, saving you water, time, and labor costs.
Key Features
- Durability: Offers a longer lifespan than cement paint and standard Ace, typically lasting 3+ years in moderate weather conditions.
- Better Coverage: Its smooth consistency spreads easily, covering more square footage per liter and hiding plaster imperfections effectively.
- Rich Matt Finish: Dries to a smooth, non-reflective finish that hides minor undulations in the plaster.
- Wide Shade Range: Available in over 1,500 attractive shades, allowing you to choose modern and vibrant color combinations.
- All-Weather Performance: Designed to withstand the harsh Indian sun and rain without rapid fading or chalking.

This advanced exterior emulsion is ideal for:
- Exterior Facades: The main walls of independent houses and small apartment blocks.
- Rain-Exposed Walls: Surfaces that face the monsoon direction and need extra water resistance.
- Boundary Walls: Long stretches of wall that require a durable yet economical finish.
- Renovation Projects: Upgrading old cement-painted buildings to a modern emulsion finish.
