Exterior walls go through harsh cycles—sun heat, rain splash, dust and humidity. A good primer is what helps the finishing paint coat perform better on the surface. Birla White ActivCoat Exterior Primer provides a clean, bright base so your exterior paint can deliver improved coverage, better colour consistency and stronger surface bonding.

FAQs
1) Is ActivCoat Exterior Primer cement-based?
Yes—this is a white cement-based liquid primer designed for exterior cementitious wall surfaces.
2) Can I apply exterior paint directly without primer?
You can, but primer generally improves adhesion, helps reduce patchy finish, and supports a more uniform final coat—especially on new plaster/putty.
3) Where should I avoid using this primer?
Avoid application on wet/damp walls or dusty/chalky surfaces without proper cleaning and preparation. Always follow on-pack instructions for surface suitability.
4) Is this a finishing coat?
No. It’s an undercoat/primer to prepare the surface before exterior paint.
