Asian Paints Apex Dust Proof Exterior Emulsion in a tintable colour base is a premium quality, water-based exterior wall finish designed to protect your home from harsh weather elements while delivering vibrant, fade-resistant colour. Formulated with advanced WeatherGuard Technology, this paint features an exceptionally high Dust Pick-up Resistance (DPUR) that prevents dust from settling on your walls, ensuring your home looks freshly painted for years. It also contains a robust anti-algal formula to combat black spots and fungal growth caused by tropical moisture.
At 55–65 sq ft per litre for the full 2-coat system (the 110–130 sq ft per litre figure applies only to a single base coat layer), Apex Dust Proof delivers significantly better coverage efficiency than cement paint, reducing the total quantity of paint needed per project. Its low-VOC, water-based formulation makes it safer to handle and apply in occupied or partially occupied buildings. Backed by a 6 year performance warranty, it is Asian Paints' mid-to-premium positioned exterior emulsion for residential and commercial projects.
Key Features
- WeatherGuard Technology with High DPUR: Creates a tough, slick film on the paint surface that prevents environmental dust and dirt from embedding into the walls, allowing wind and rain to easily wash debris away
- Superior Colour Retention: Fade-resistant pigment system maintains vibrancy under intense UV exposure, keeping colours true for years without the chalky, washed-out look of standard exterior paints
- Anti-Algal & Anti-Fungal Formula: Resists fungus and algae growth, protecting exterior walls from dark patches during heavy rainy seasons
- Smooth Matt Finish: Clean, uniform matt surface enhances the visual appeal of exterior walls and conceals minor surface imperfections
- Eco-Friendly Low-VOC Formula: Water-based formulation with low volatile organic compounds — safer for applicators and building occupants during and after painting

- Dilution Ratio: Typically diluted with clean water at 40% to 50% by volume (e.g., 400ml–500ml of water per 1 litre of paint) — always verify the exact ratio printed on the back of the specific bucket before mixing
- Surface Prep: Apply only over properly prepared, clean, and cured exterior masonry or cement plaster
Key Applications & Ideal Use Cases
- High Dust Exposure: Residential buildings and bungalows facing high dust exposure from nearby roads or construction
- Coastal & High-Rainfall Regions: Areas prone to rapid algae and fungal growth on exterior surfaces
- Premium Residential Facades: Homes and villas where vibrant colour and a clean, matt finish are as important as protection
- Sun-Facing Walls: South and west-facing elevations that receive intense, prolonged UV exposure and are prone to colour fade
- Fresh Painting or Repainting: Over old, properly prepared exterior masonry and cement plasters

1) What is Dust Pick-up Resistance (DPUR) and how does it work?
DPUR is a specialized technology that creates a tough, slick film on the paint surface. It prevents environmental dust and dirt from embedding into the walls, allowing wind and rain to easily wash the debris away.
2) Does this paint protect against monsoon damage and algae?
Yes. The paint features an advanced anti-algal formula specifically designed to resist fungus and algae growth, protecting your exterior walls from ugly dark patches during heavy rainy seasons.
3) Can I use this paint directly on bare concrete walls?
No. For the best performance and adhesion, you must apply an exterior wall primer (such as Asian Paints Exterior Wall Primer) after proper surface cleaning and before applying the emulsion topcoats.
4) What is the dilution ratio for Apex Dust Proof paint?
Typically, water-based exterior emulsions are diluted with clean water at a ratio of 40% to 50% by volume (e.g., 400ml–500ml of water per 1 litre of paint), but you should always verify the exact ratio printed on the back of the specific bucket before mixing.
5) What pack size do I need for a standard home exterior?
A typical independent house exterior has approximately 1,500–2,500 sq ft of paintable wall area. At 55–65 sq ft per litre for two coats, you would need roughly 25–40 litres depending on surface texture and porosity. A combination of 20L and 10L packs is usually the most practical. Always ask your painter to calculate the net paintable area — deducting windows, doors, and plinth — before ordering to avoid waste.
