Waterproof Wall Putty – A Better Foundation for Beautiful Walls

Water-resistant preparation for smoother interior and exterior walls.

Inspired by nature

Morning dew

Dew settles on a leaf in perfect beads and rests there without soaking in. Waterproof Putty gives your walls a smooth, water-resistant layer in the same spirit, ready for the colour to come.

A beautiful paint finish starts with proper wall preparation. Uneven surfaces, tiny holes and minor imperfections can affect the final appearance, so choosing the right wall putty before painting is essential.

Kerala Paints Waterproof Putty is a water-resistant wall levelling putty for interior and exterior masonry. It helps create a smoother, more uniform surface before primer and decorative emulsion, and helps reduce moisture absorption through the putty layer.

It is not a replacement for structural repairs or dedicated waterproofing treatment. Always address existing seepage and moisture problems before applying it.
