Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost – Putty Additive for Strength & Coverage

Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost: The Performance Booster for Your Walls

Wall putty provides the smooth base for your paint, but standard putty can sometimes be brittle, chalky, or hard to spread. Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost is a specialized liquid polymer additive designed to supercharge the performance of your regular white cement putty. Think of it as a “vitamin shot” for your walls that transforms ordinary putty into a high-performance, durable foundation.

Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost acts as a powerful binder that significantly improves the strength and flexibility of the putty layer. By replacing a portion of the mixing water with this additive, you get a paste that spreads like butter, covers more area, and grips the wall tightly. Whether you are using TruCare or SmartCare Wall Putty, adding this booster ensures your walls remain crack-free and chalk-free for years.

Why Choose Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost?

Professional painters swear by additives to get the best finish. Here is why adding Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost to your mix is a smart investment:

• Increases Coverage: It improves the flow and spreadability of the putty paste, allowing you to cover up to 15-20% more area with the same amount of powder.
• Prevents Chalking: It locks loose cement particles together, preventing the white powder from rubbing off on your hands (chalking) after the putty dries.
• Superior Bonding: It enhances the adhesion of the putty to the plaster, reducing the risk of flaking or peeling.

Key Features

• Enhanced Pot Life: Keeps the mixed putty fresh and workable for longer, reducing wastage during application.
• Smoother Finish: Helps fill micro-pores more effectively, resulting in a glass-like surface that requires less primer and paint.
• Crack Resistance: Adds flexibility to the rigid cement matrix, helping the putty withstand minor thermal expansion without cracking.
• Easy Mixing: Mixes easily with water and powder without forming lumps.
• Cost-Effective: The extra coverage it provides often covers the cost of the bottle itself.

Recommended Application Areas

This putty additive is recommended for:

• Interior Walls: Creating a luxurious, ultra-smooth base for Royal or Apcolite emulsions.
• Exterior Walls: Strengthening exterior putty against sun and rain.
• New Construction: Ensuring strong adhesion on fresh cement plaster.
• Repainting: Bonding new putty firmly to sanded old surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use it with acrylic putty?
A: No. Asian Paints SmartCare Putty Boost is designed for powder-based white cement putties. Acrylic putty is already a paste and doesn’t need extra binders.

Q: Does it replace primer?
A: No. While it makes the putty stronger, you should still apply a coat of primer before painting to seal the surface completely.

Q: What happens if I add too much?
A: Adding slightly more won’t hurt, but excessive amounts might make the putty too sticky to sand easily. Stick to the 400ml per 20kg ratio.
