Asian Paints Royale Wall Basecoat is a premium, single-pack interior undercoat that gives primer and sealer performance in one bucket. Its silicone additives seal the pores in masonry to block moisture and alkaline salts, creating a firm foundation for luxury emulsions. A sealed wall also shows the true colour of your paint and makes the topcoat go at least 15% further, so you use less premium paint.
Key Features
- Alkali Resistance and Efflorescence Barrier: Handles environments up to pH 12.5 and blocks white powdery salts from ruining the topcoat
- Moisture Blocking: Withstands structural moisture content up to 15%
- Topcoat Savings: Cuts topcoat absorption, saving roughly 15% on premium emulsion

Recommended Applications
- Premium Undercoating: Prepping walls for high-end paints like Royale Luxury Emulsion or Royale Shyne
- Efflorescence Blocking: Stopping white, powdery salt patches from ruining the topcoat
- New Masonry Sealing: Neutralising fresh plaster with high alkali levels up to pH 12.5
- Dampness Shielding: Guarding interior spaces with mild moisture, up to 15%
Application Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Scrape off old paint and loose debris, and make sure the wall is completely dry and clean
- Dilute: For brush, thin 1:1 with clean water by volume (100%). For roller, thin 40–45% at most — over-thinning a roller mix causes heavy splattering and ruins film opacity
- First Coat: Apply an even coat by brush or roller and let it dry for 4 to 5 hours
- Topcoat: Once fully dry, go ahead with your premium interior emulsion

1) What is the difference between a regular wall primer and Royale Wall Basecoat?
A standard primer mainly gives the topcoat something to stick to. Royale Wall Basecoat gives primer and sealer performance in one formula, with silicone additives that seal the wall pores, block alkali attack and reduce topcoat absorption, saving around 15% on paint.
2) Does it protect against dampness and salts?
Yes. It resists alkali up to pH 12.5, stops efflorescence (white salt formations) and withstands structural moisture content up to 15%.
3) How long should I wait before painting over it?
At least 4 to 5 hours, until the basecoat is completely dry. Painting over a wet basecoat ruins topcoat adhesion.
4) How much do I need for a standard bedroom?
A 10x12 ft bedroom has roughly 400–450 sq ft of wall area. At 175–210 sq ft per litre per coat, a 4 L pack covers one full coat. For the recommended two coats you need about 4 to 5 litres, so add a 1 L pack to the 4 L.
5) How do I thin it for brush and for roller?
For brush, thin 1:1 with clean water by volume. For roller, use no more than 40–45% water, because over-thinning on a roller causes heavy splattering and destroys the opacity of the film.
6) Can I use it on exterior walls?
No. It is formulated for interior walls, plaster and masonry. For exterior facades exposed to rain and sun, use a dedicated exterior wall primer.
