Product Overview: Protect your home from water damage with Smartcare Primero, available at QC Paint Shop. A high-performance product from the Asian Paints Smartcare range, Primero is a cementitious waterproof coating designed to provide a robust, leak-proof barrier for your home. It acts as an excellent base coat for positive-side waterproofing, making it ideal for terraces, roofs, bathrooms, and external walls exposed to heavy rain.

Why Choose Smartcare Primero? Water seepage can weaken the structure of your home and ruin expensive interiors. Smartcare Primero offers superior waterproofing protection by penetrating deep into the concrete capillaries and blocking them. Its unique formulation resists hydrostatic pressure and prevents dampness from rising through the walls. Whether you are constructing a new home or renovating an old one, this coating ensures long-lasting durability and peace of mind.

Key Features:

  • Cementitious Coating: Forms a strong, durable bond with concrete and plaster surfaces.
  • Leak-Proof: Provides a seamless barrier against water infiltration.
  • Carbonation Resistant: Protects steel reinforcements in concrete from corrosion.
  • Chloride Ion Resistant: Prevents chloride attack, which extends the life of the structure.
  • Easy to Apply: Can be easily applied with a brush or a trowel.

Technical Specifications:

  • Type: Cementitious Waterproof Coating (Powder based)
  • Application Method: Brush or Trowel
  • Mixing Ratio: Typically mixed with clean water as per manufacturer instructions (usually 2:1 powder to water).

Application Guide:

  1. Surface Preparation: Clean the substrate to remove loose particles, grease, or dust. Ensure the surface is moist but not dripping wet before application (saturated surface dry - SSD).
  2. Mixing: Mix Smartcare Primero powder with clean water to form a lump-free paste. Stir continuously for a smooth consistency.
  3. Application: Apply the first coat firmly onto the surface using a brush. Allow it to cure for 4-6 hours (until dry).
