Asian Paints Berger Value Dry Stucco

Value Dry Stucco is recommended for use on concrete and plaster surfaces. It can be applied directly over plaster and is ideal for filling cracks and imperfections, ensuring a smooth finish before painting.

The drying time varies with temperature: at 25°C, it takes approximately 4 hours to dry to touch and 8 hours for a minimum overcoating interval. At higher temperatures (35°C and 45°C), these times reduce to 2 hours and 1 hour respectively, allowing for quicker project completion.

The theoretical covering capacity of Value Dry Stucco is estimated at about 3-4 m²/kg on a reasonably smooth plastered surface. However, actual coverage may vary based on surface profile and application method.

Value Dry Stucco should be applied using a trowel, spatula, or putty knife. It requires thorough surface preparation, ensuring that the area is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application.

No, a primer is not required when using Value Dry Stucco. It can be directly overcoated with interior or exterior emulsions without the need for an undercoat, simplifying the application process.

When using Value Dry Stucco, it is essential to wear protective clothing such as gloves, goggles, and dust masks. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and store the product in cool, dry conditions away from children.

Value Dry Stucco has a shelf life of up to 12 months from the date of manufacturing if stored properly in a cool and dry environment. Always check the packaging for specific storage instructions to ensure product efficacy.
