Indigo Dirt & Waterproof Exterior Laminate – Platinum Series

Indigo Dirt & Waterproof Exterior Laminate: The Clear Shield for Ultimate Wall Protection

Lock in the beauty of your exterior paint colour and add an impenetrable layer of defense against rain and dust with Indigo Dirt & Waterproof Exterior Laminate. This advanced, transparent, water-based coating is engineered to be applied directly over your finished exterior emulsion, providing a high-gloss, ultra-durable shield that lasts years longer than standard paint alone.

Indigo Dirt & Waterproof Exterior Laminate utilizes specialized polymer technology to create a super-smooth, non-porous film. This reduces the surface area where dust and dirt can settle, ensuring rainwater simply washes away pollutants. It’s the ultimate maintenance-reducing product, keeping your façade looking freshly painted with minimal effort.

Why Apply Indigo Dirt & Waterproof Exterior Laminate?

This clear protective laminate offers benefits that even premium colored emulsions cannot match:

• Extreme Dirt Resistance: The laminate’s smooth, non-tacky finish actively resists dust and pollutants from bonding to the surface. It ensures the walls stay cleaner between monsoons.
• Superior Water Barrier: It dramatically enhances the waterproofing capability of the base coat, preventing water from seeping through the paint film and into the plaster.
• UV and Colour Protection: It acts as a transparent UV filter, safeguarding the pigments in the underlying home paint colour from fading due to harsh sunlight.
• Gloss Enhancement: Provides a durable, subtle to high sheen (depending on formulation) that intensifies the depth and richness of the color below.
