Application Guidelines

FAQs

1) What makes Birla White Activcoat different from other primers?

Activcoat is white cement-based (excellent compatibility with cementitious surfaces), offers high opacity (160-200 sqft/litre), requires no pre-wetting, and is GreenPro certified. It's specifically formulated for Birla White putty but works with all putty brands.

2) Do I need to wet the wall before applying Activcoat?

No, Activcoat requires no pre-wetting, unlike traditional cement-based primers. Simply ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. This saves time and simplifies the painting process.

3) How much water should I add to dilute Activcoat?

Typically dilute 1:1 with clean water (1 part primer to 1 part water). For very porous surfaces, use less water (3:2 ratio). Always follow manufacturer guidelines on the product label for specific dilution recommendations.

4) Can I use Activcoat Interior Primer on exterior walls?

Not recommended. Activcoat Interior Primer is designed for interior applications. For exterior walls, use Birla White Activcoat Exterior Primer which offers enhanced weather resistance and UV protection for outdoor conditions.

5) How long should I wait before painting after applying Activcoat?

Wait minimum 4-6 hours for recoat time. Surface dries in ~30 minutes but allow full curing before topcoat. In humid conditions or thick applications, wait longer. Proper drying ensures optimal paint adhesion and finish.

6) Why is my primer coverage less than 160-200 sqft/litre?

Coverage depends on surface condition: rough or porous surfaces absorb more primer. The 160-200 sqft/litre is for ideal smooth surfaces. Actual coverage may be 120-150 sqft/litre on typical walls. Add 10-15% extra for wastage.

7) Can I use Activcoat with non-Birla White putty?

Yes, Activcoat works with all putty brands (cement-based and acrylic). While formulated for Birla White putty, it provides excellent adhesion and sealing on any properly prepared putty surface.
