What is the difference between Damp Proof, Damp Proof Advance and Damp Proof ultra?

  1. SmartCare Damp Proof: “SmartCare Damp Proof” is a waterproofing solution designed to prevent dampness and seepage in homes and buildings. It is a single-component product, which means it comes ready to use without requiring any additional mixing. It is typically applied to interior and exterior walls, terraces, and balconies to protect them from water penetration and related issues.
  2. SmartCare Damp Proof Ultra: “SmartCare Damp Proof Ultra” is also a waterproofing solution offered by Asian Paints. Unlike the single-component “Damp Proof,” “Damp Proof Ultra” is a two-component system, which means it requires the mixing of two separate components before application. This generally involves mixing a base coat with a liquid additive to activate its waterproofing properties. “Damp Proof Ultra” is specifically formulated to provide advanced protection against water damage and seepage. It may have enhanced properties compared to the single-component “Damp Proof,” offering superior resistance to moisture-related problems.
