The Asian Paints SmartCare Hydroloc Xtreme is a high-performance, single-component, ready-to-use penetrative interior waterproofing solution. Specifically engineered to eliminate interior wall dampness, seepage, and severe efflorescence, it operates directly at the plaster level as a pre-putty priming base. The game-changing benefit of this advanced formula is that it requires zero plaster breaking or invasive wall hacking, saving massive labor time and keeping your household dust-free.
Upon drying, it forms a highly durable, tight yet breathable waterproof film. This microscopic barrier seals off water lanes, preventing destructive moisture and migratory mineral salts from passing through to ruin your paint. Capable of bonding over walls with up to an alarming 90% substrate moisture content, it delivers a reliable and highly resilient baseline shield that stops paint peeling before it can start.
Product Highlights
- No Plaster Breaking Required: Specially formulated to be brushed directly onto the existing sound cement plaster layer, avoiding invasive structural breaking
- Elite 5-Year Waterproofing Warranty: Provides a rock-solid, official 5-year warranty against wall dampness and salt efflorescence at the plaster level
- Xtreme Substrate Moisture Tolerant: Can be successfully applied on active walls showing extreme dampness levels reaching up to 90% moisture
- Anti-Efflorescence Salt Blocker: Neutralizes and prevents the formation of chalky, white, salty powder deposits caused by mineral migration
- Breathable Watertight Matrix: Dries to a highly specialized film that halts liquid water ingress while letting inner wall vapors escape safely to avoid internal pocket blistering

Application Guide
- Surface Preparation: Scrape off loose material, existing paint flakes, peeling putty layers, and visible salt deposits down to the bare plaster layer using wire brushes or putty knives. Ensure active plumbing pipeline leaks are sealed before application
- Application Method: Apply two wet-on-wet coats (with a brief 30-minute flash-off duration between coats) straight from the container using a professional brush. Stir thoroughly before starting

1) Can I apply my final coloured emulsion topcoat paint directly over Hydroloc Xtreme?
No, you should not paint directly onto it. Hydroloc Xtreme is engineered strictly as an under-plaster pre-putty coating. Once it dries, you must apply a high-quality acrylic wall putty layer to create a smooth surface texture, roll on a dedicated primer, and then finish with your chosen topcoat paint.
2) How does Hydroloc Xtreme differ from the standard version of SmartCare Hydroloc?
The standard Hydroloc model handles up to 70% substrate plaster moisture and carries a 3-year warranty. Hydroloc Xtreme is a significantly upgraded formulation that can handle extreme dampness up to 90% wall moisture levels and comes backed by an extended 5-year warranty.
3) Is it necessary to break down my room's plaster to apply this product?
No. Unlike traditional interior waterproofing techniques that require you to break down the plaster to apply heavy cement coatings, Hydroloc Xtreme works directly on top of sound existing plaster. You only need to remove loose paint and flaking putty.
4) How many coats does one 1-litre pack cover, and how much area does it treat?
One litre covers approximately 40 to 50 square feet across the required two wet-on-wet coats, so plan your quantity based on total wall area before starting the job.
5) Can Hydroloc Xtreme be diluted to stretch coverage further?
No. The product must be applied straight from the container without dilution or mixing with exterior additives. Diluting it will weaken the waterproof film and compromise the seal against moisture and efflorescence.
