Asian Paints Apex Advanced Dust Proof Emulsion – Exterior Wall Paint

Asian Paints Apex Advanced Dust Proof: Enhanced Protection for Exteriors

Your home’s exterior faces a double threat: harsh weather and rising pollution. Asian Paints Apex Advanced Dust Proof is a specially formulated exterior emulsion designed to tackle both. An upgrade from the standard Apex, this advanced version combines revolutionary Dust Guard Technology with specialized silicon additives to create a paint that not only repels dust but also resists water.

While ordinary paints can fade and gather dirt quickly, Asian Paints Apex Advanced Dust Proof creates a non-tacky, modified acrylic film. This ensures that dust doesn’t settle on your walls, and the silicon enrichment helps water run off easily, keeping your exterior facades looking cleaner, brighter, and newer for a significantly longer period. It is the perfect balance of aesthetics and durability for modern homes.

Why Choose Asian Paints Apex Advanced Dust Proof?

If you want more than just color on your walls, this product delivers performance. Here is why upgrading to Asian Paints Apex Advanced Dust Proof is a smart decision:

• Dual Protection: Unlike standard exterior paints, it offers a two-pronged defense mechanism: it repels dust to keep walls clean and resists water penetration to protect the plaster.
• Silicon Enriched: The addition of silicon additives enhances the water resistance of the paint film, providing superior protection against dampness and algal growth compared to economy emulsions.
• Lasting Freshness: By preventing dust accumulation, the vibrancy of the paint color is preserved, reducing the need for frequent washing or repainting.

Key Features

• Dust Guard Technology: Chemically formulated to reduce the surface tackiness, ensuring dust particles slide off rather than sticking.
• Excellent Anti-Algal Performance: Advanced biocides prevent the formation of black spots and algae, even in humid monsoon conditions.
• Rich Sheen: Dries to a smooth, soft sheen that enhances the elegance of your building’s architecture.
• UV Resistance: Protects against the harsh sun, preventing fading and chalking of the paint film.
• Eco-Friendly: A water-based lead-free formulation that is safe for the environment.

Recommended Application Areas

This advanced exterior paint is ideal for:

• Pollution-Prone Areas: Homes near busy roads or construction zones where dust is a major issue.
• Rain-Lashed Facades: Exterior walls facing heavy monsoon rains that need extra water resistance.
• High-Rise Buildings: Where maintenance and cleaning are difficult and costly.
• Compound Walls: Protecting boundary walls that are constantly exposed to dust and moisture.
