Indigo Royal Indigocem – Premium Polymer Cement Paint

Indigo Royal Indigocem: Premium Cement Paint for Superior Finish

For a classic, durable, and highly cost-effective finish on exterior walls, **Indigo Royal Indigocem** sets the benchmark for cement paint. This product is a specially formulated white cement-based powder coating that, when mixed with water, provides a tough, water-repellent, and highly aesthetic matt finish. It is the economical choice for protecting and beautifying masonry surfaces.

Unlike ordinary cement washes, Indigo Royal Indigocem contains advanced polymers and white cement, which enhance its adhesion, durability, and whiteness. This ensures the coating remains firmly bonded to the wall, resists flaking, and stays brighter for longer. It is highly valued for its ability to transform bare plaster and concrete into a clean, uniform surface.

Why Choose Indigo Royal Indigocem?

While modern emulsions offer superior washability, Indigocem remains popular for its unique advantages:

• Superior Whiteness: Delivers a brilliant, pure white finish that is difficult to achieve with standard cement paints, enhancing the building’s aesthetic.
• Water Repellency: The formula is designed to repel surface water, minimizing damage from rain and reducing moisture ingress into the wall.
• Durability & Adhesion: Enhanced polymer content ensures better bonding to the substrate compared to conventional whitewash.
• Breathability: As a cement-based coating, it allows the wall to “breathe,” reducing the build-up of moisture inside the masonry.

How to Apply Indigo Royal Indigocem

Correct application ensures maximum durability and finish:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of efflorescence (salt patches). Treat all major cracks beforehand.
2. Pre-Wetting (Crucial): Saturate the wall surface with clean water. The wall must be damp, but not dripping wet, before application.
3. Mixing: Mix the Indigo Royal Indigocem powder with water (usually 2 parts powder to 1 part water by volume) until a uniform slurry consistency is achieved. Allow 10-15 minutes standing time for the cement to fully react.
4. Application: Apply the first coat using a large brush or roller immediately after pre-wetting. Work quickly as the cement begins to set.
5. Second Coat: Apply the second coat after 6-8 hours. It is recommended to spray a fine mist of water on the wall between coats if the surface has dried completely. Proper surface prep is vital for cement-based coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Indigocem washable like an emulsion?
A: No. While it resists water, it is not scrubbable like acrylic exterior emulsions. Cleaning should be gentle.

Q: Does this require a separate primer?
A: No, being a cement paint, it acts as its own primer on cementitious surfaces. However, pre-wetting the wall is essential, as this helps the cement bind correctly.

Q: Can I apply this over old paint?
A: It is highly recommended to remove all old paint, particularly flaking emulsions, before applying Indigo Royal Indigocem to ensure direct adhesion to the masonry.
