4. WALL SURFACE ENHANCEMENT
CONCEPT
• WALL PLASTER IS VERY CRUCIAL FROM THE DURABILITY POINT OF VIEW, BUT
THE MOST IGNORED ONE.
• WALL PLASTER IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE PROTECTION TO THE BUILDING
AGAINST WEATHERING EFFECTS AND ALSO ADD ELEGANCE TO THE ENTIRE
BUILDING.
• BASE PLASTER PROVIDES PROTECTION AND FINISH PLASTER PROVIDES
PROTECTION AND ELEGANCE TO THE BUILDING.
• DURABILITY AND CORRECTNESS OF WALL-SURFACE CAN BE ACHIEVED ONLY
WHEN THE MATERIAL USED TO PREPARE THE WALL SURFACE MEETS THE
REQUIRED TECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF DURABILITY AND AESTHETICS.
• PAINT FINISH WILL LOOK GOOD AND LAST LONG IF THE WALL SURFACE IS
CORRECT.

5. DUROWHITE FINISH PLASTER
• THE PRODUCT IS FORMULATED AND PRE-BLENDED USING WHITE
CEMENT, HIGH-PERFORMING POLYMERS AND HIGH GRADED
MINERALS SUPPLIED IN DRY POWDER STATE; FOR THE APPLICATION
ON PRE-PLASTERED WALLS AND CEILINGS.
• AVAILABLE IN 40KG, 20KG, 5KG AND 1KG PACKING.
• IT CAN BE APPLIED DIRECTLY (UN-PLASTERED) ON REINFORCED
CEMENT CONCRETE (COLUMNS, BEAMS AND CEILING) WITHOUT
ANY HACKING OF THE SURFACE. IT CAN ALSO BE USED ON ‘MIVAN’
AND SIMILAR TYPE OF SURFACES.
• THE PRODUCT CAN BE USED FOR INTERNAL AS WELL AS EXTERNAL
APPLICATIONS.
• IT IS SUITABLE FOR BOTH THIN AND THICK COAT APPLICATIONS
• DUROWHITE APPLIED SURFACE CAN RECEIVE ALL KINDS OF
DECORATIVE PAINTS LIKE DISTEMPER, LUSTER, ACRYLIC EMULSIONS
AND PREMIUM ACRYLIC EMULSIONS.

12. DUROWHITE APPLICATION
• MIX 1 KG OF DUROWHITE POWDER IN 400ML* OF WATER AND MIX
FOR 5 MINUTES. FOR A LARGER QUANTITY, THE RATIO BETWEEN
WATER AND POWDER SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AT THE SAME
LEVEL.
• APPLY THE FIRST COAT TIGHTLY AND LEAVE THE SURFACE
OVERNIGHT. IT CAN BE APPLIED UP TO 5MM THICKNESS IN A
SINGLE COAT FOR THICK COAT APPLICATIONS. MORE THICKNESS
(>5MM) CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH SUBSEQUENT COATS.
• APPLY THE SECOND COAT NEXT DAY. THE SECOND COAT SHOULD
BE SLIGHTLY THINNER IN CONSISTENCY TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED
SMOOTH FINISH.
• SAND THE SURFACE THE NEXT DAY USING A FINE SANDING PAPER
TO REMOVE THE UN-EVENESS BEFORE THE START OF THE PAINT
APPLICATION. IT IS ADVISABLE TO SPRINKLE THE SURFACE BEFORE
THE START OF PAINT APPLICATION.
• APPLICATION TOOL – PUTTY BLADE/STEEL TROWEL*Indicated water proportion may vary by 10% depending on the consistency of

13. CAUTIONS
• THE SURFACE INTENDED FOR THE APPLICATION OF DUROWHITE MUST BE FREE OF
DIRT AND OIL STAINS. HENCE, THE SURFACE MUST BE CLEANED PROPERLY.
• ALWAYS POUR POWDER INTO WATER. ENSURE THAT IT IS NOT VICE-VERSA OTHERWISE
IT WILL LEAD TO FORMATION OF LUMPS IN THE SOLUTION.
• ALWAYS USE POTABLE WATER FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE PASTE. SALINE & DIRTY
WATER MUST NOT BE USED.
• PRE-WETTING THE SURFACE PRIOR TO AN HOUR OF THE APPLICATION OF DUROWHITE
IS A MUST. OTHERWISE A DRY SURFACE WILL ABSORB THE AVAILABLE OF THE PASTE
AND AFFECT THE WORKABILITY.
• START THE APPLICATION OF DUROWHITE ONLY WHEN THE CONSISTENCY OF THE
OBTAINED PASTE IS PROPER AND AS PER THE REQUIREMENT OF THE APPLICATOR AND
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE APPLICATION.
• IN CASE OF HIGH TEMPERATURE (>45°C) WATER SHOULD BE SPRINKLED ON THE
DUROWHITE APPLIED SURFACES ON THE FOLLOWING DAY.
