Wall Putty/Skim Coat

Wall Putty/Skim Coat

Wall putty is also known as skim coat. It is basically a fine powder comprising white cement and some top-quality polymer. Usually, it is mixed with water and some other additives to make a solution that you apply to your wall before painting. If applied correctly, it will fill any imperfections, gaps, cracks, and rough surfaces on your wall.

Most professional painters tend to apply two coats of putty before starting to paint. The first coat is meant to fill any imperfections, while the second one ensures that the wall and coated surface are properly lined up.

The good thing is that wall putty is extremely versatile. It can be applied either over drywalls and concrete or plastered walls.

Reliable performance for high-quality applications

Dongyuan Shengda Cellulose ether and RDP are key additives in wall putty. Cellulose ether mainly improves water retention, workability, and anti-sagging performance, helping ensure smooth application and extending open time during construction.

RDP mainly enhances the final strength and durability of wall putty by improving adhesion, crack resistance, and water resistance, making the putty layer more stable and long-lasting.

Innovative Additives for Wall Putty/Skim Coat

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a water-soluble, non-toxic polymer additive. It is widely used in various industries due to its properties as a thickener, binder, film-former, emulsifier, and water retention agent, ensuring improved stability, efficiency, and performance across diverse industrial and commercial applications.

Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose

MHEC (Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) powder is a non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural polymer cellulose, acting as a thickener, binder, and high-performance water retention agent. It is widely used in construction materials (tile adhesives, dry-mix mortars, wall putty) to improve workability and durability.

Redispersible Polymer Powder

Redispersible polymer powder is a free-flowing white or light yellow powder made from vinyl acetate–ethylene polymer emulsion through high-temperature, high-pressure spray drying. When it comes into contact with water, it can form a stable polymer emulsion whose properties are the same as those of the original emulsion.
