How to Apply Asian Paints Apex Ultima Protek
For maximum performance and to achieve the 10-year warranty, the system must be applied correctly:
- Crack Repair (Large): For cracks wider than 1.0mm, fill them structurally first using SmartCare Crack Seal.

- Topcoat Mixing: Mix Asian Paints Apex Ultima Protek with clean water (35%-45% dilution). Stir thoroughly.
- Application: Apply 2 thick coats of the topcoat using a high-quality brush or roller. Apply generously, as the film thickness is essential for durability and crack bridging. Allow 4-6 hours of drying time between coats.
- Curing: The product requires 7 days to cure fully and achieve maximum Lamination Technology performance and water resistance.
