Now we will discuss the above-mentioned paints in detail and let us now see what benefit each painting has in itself and how does each differ from one other.
Starting with,
It is an exterior paint that is basically based upon the concept of nanotechnology and as the name suggests, it keeps the wall protected from various things like algae, fungus, and moisture and thus keeping the walls safe from problems like blistering or peeling of paint from the walls. It comes with a ten and five-year durability and waterproofing warranty respectively. The properties that make it distinguished from other paints are that it has the quality that it can be cleaned with ease and hence you can make it look fresh for a long period of time.

Apex weatherproof emulsion is a type of exterior paint offered by Asian paints. As the name suggests it has the benefit that it retains throughout all the seasons because of additional silicon covering over the paint that helps the paint to be ready for all the changing seasons, be it summers or the rains. The paint will stay as it is and will not fade away with changing seasons. The paint is water-based paint and is a modified acrylic paint. This paint is formulated in a special way to withstand extreme tropical conditions of high rainfall, humidity and heat. Because it can withstand all the seasons, therefore, it has excellent resistance to the growth of algae and fungi on the walls which helps and protects the walls from the dirty spots over the walls which may occur due to the presence of algae or fungi over the walls. This is all because of the silicon protecting layer that is present over the wall. Also, the silicon covering over the paint also helps the wall to be protected against the UV rays that may degrade the walls and fade the colour of the walls. Not only this, but it also provides a range of shades to choose from. Apex weatherproofing emulsion provides you with somewhat around 1700 shades to choose from and make your home look the best.

This paint has silicon additives in it thus preventing the outer surface of the wall to get dirty by dust particles etc. and also making it algae and fungus free. This water-based paint offers excellent resistance to chalking, cracking and weathering in comparison to cement paint. This paint is acrylic and thus keeps it bind to the wall, and thus ensuring that it has a long life, longer than that of cement paint. Now because it stays for a longer time as compared to the cement paint therefore we can conclude that it is a paint that saves money and therefore is economical in nature. It does not require curing and therefore saves time, effort and money during application.The ace exterior emulsion is available in around 1600 shades which are really attractive and they do not fade away so soon as compared to the cement paint. Also, this paint has a special feature that because of the silicon additives it does not allows the fungus or the algae to get on the wall and thus ruin its beauty. However, it provides better anti-algal protection than cement paint especially in dry to moderately humid climatic conditions.

So this was about the different kinds of exterior paints that are there with the Asian paints. You can select the best-suited paint for your home and as per your budget. But we do suggest that you select the best quality paint for the exterior of your home because paint job is done once in a while and it is a long term investment and therefore you must not at that time think about the budget because you can rise it for now and thus you can save you expenses later.
