Product Information

Full details

HQC Anti Damp Paint is a professional-grade solution designed for homeowners and contractors dealing with recurring moisture issues on interior or exterior surfaces. Its primary benefit is the creation of a micro-porous, breathable membrane that permanently seals stains and prevents condensation-related problems like fungi and peeling wallpaper, though users should note that while it effectively manages surface moisture, it does not replace the need for repairing structural leaks or significant water ingress.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on external walls?

Yes, HQC Anti Damp Paint is suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

In most cases, the product acts as its own barrier, but surfaces should be clean and clear of loose debris for best results.

Is this paint breathable?

Yes, it uses a micro-porous formulation that allows moisture to escape while blocking liquid water and stains.

Can I apply wallpaper over this paint?

Yes, the breathable nature of the paint is specifically designed to prevent wallpaper from peeling due to moisture.

Will this stop a major leak in my basement?

No, this paint is designed for damp and condensation control; it is not a structural repair product for heavy water ingress.

What is the primary finish of this paint?

The paint dries to a high-performance, functional finish, typically in a neutral grey tone suitable for damp-prone areas.

Troubleshooting

Paint flaking shortly after application

Ensure the surface was adequately cleaned of loose paint or debris prior to application.

Odor persists after painting

Ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after application to allow moisture to evaporate through the micro-porous membrane.

Poor coverage or uneven finish

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly to integrate the pigments and that the application tool is appropriate for the wall texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is free from loose debris, dust, or grease. While the product is designed to be applied to damp walls, heavy standing water should be cleared first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, ensuring an even coat across the area. For best results in extreme conditions, allow the first coat to dry completely according to ambient conditions before assessing if a second coat is necessary. Cleanup should be performed while the product is still wet, typically using soap and water.
