Full details
HQC Anti-Damp Paint is an essential solution for homeowners and professional contractors looking to permanently treat and seal areas prone to moisture, condensation, and water stains. This high-performance, breathable membrane effectively stops damp from reappearing while eliminating associated odors and fungal growth; however, it is important to note that while it handles active dampness, it should be used in conjunction with addressing the root cause of the moisture source to ensure long-term wall integrity.

FAQs
Can I use this on external walls?
Yes, HQC Anti-Damp Paint is formulated for both interior and exterior use.
Does it require a primer?
The paint is designed as an all-in-one barrier; however, ensure the surface is clean and dry of any heavy debris before application.
Is it safe to use in kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, its ability to combat condensation makes it ideal for high-humidity areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Will this stop a major water leak?
No, this product manages damp and condensation; it is not a repair solution for active, structural water leaks or pipe bursts.
Can I apply wallpaper over this paint?
Yes, because the paint is micro-porous and prevents peeling, it provides a stable base for wallpapering.
How many coats are typically needed?
Sufficient coverage can usually be achieved in just one coat, though heavily stained areas may benefit from a second pass.
Troubleshooting
Paint is flaking shortly after application
Ensure the surface was free of loose dust, oils, or peeling paint prior to application; re-prep the surface and apply a new coat.
Damp spots continue to show through
The moisture source may be too intense; ensure you have identified and mitigated the water source before applying an additional layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, remove any loose debris, dust, or existing peeling wallpaper from the target area. The paint is compatible with most standard wall and ceiling surfaces, including masonry and plaster. Ensure the area has adequate ventilation during application to assist with the drying process. Once applied, the surface is generally ready for further finishing or can remain as a standalone protective layer. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out between projects. Always clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
