New Waterproofing Products For West

The West based contractors were urged to make use of the new range of waterproof­ing products.

Asian Paints South Pacific Lim­ited general manager Amit Bose made those remarks at the launch­ing of the two new waterproofing products at Radisson Blu Resort on Denarau Islands on Thursday night.

He said APCO now brings two new waterproofing products – Smart­Care Damp Proof Advanced for exterior walls and roofs and Smart­Care Damp Proof Undertile Mem­brane for bathrooms and internal wet areas.

Both the new products come with eight years waterproofing warran­ty.

While Damp Proof Advanced with HydroFlex Technology is designed for protection against UV, rain and harsh climatic conditions, the Un­dertile Membrane is designed to handle constant wet conditions and for quick tiling.

“Customer centricity & Innova­tion is what enables us to continu­ously enhance our product range to cater to our customer needs.

“These new products are designed especially for Fiji’s tropical cli­mate,” Mr Bose said.

Regional marketing manager, Am­ritha Sridhar said a part of an in­ternationally-renowned group with a turnover of over US$3.8 billion, Apco Coatings is now expanding its waterproofing offerings to provide quick and reliable solutions to the Fijian consumer.

“Listening to the voice of our consumers has helped us identify the needs in the category of water­proofing,” Ms Sridhar said.

“Many consumers who buy our paints are looking for a solution to dampness or seepage on their walls.”

With our SmartCare range of wa­terproofing solutions, consumers can now easily combat common waterproofing problems,” she said.

Furthermore, Asian Paints for­ayed into waterproofing in 2012 un­der the umbrella brand of Smart­Care and today, in a decade’s time, has fortified its presence in Water­proofing and Construction chemi­cals by becoming the market leader in the Indian Subcontinent and a formidable player across the coun­tries where they are present.

Meanwhile, APCO has made these products available through all its authorised distributors.

The company has ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification for its excel­lence in quality and environmental systems, respectively.
