Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock, the best guide to monsoon-ready homes

Leakages during the monsoon weaken structures, compromise aesthetics, and lead to high maintenance costs. Preparing homes for relentless rain and humidity calls for robust, moisture-resistant solutions. That is where Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock comes into play, offering both preventive and corrective benefits for walls, terraces, and surfaces exposed to the weather.

Why is moisture a serious structural threat?
Rainwater seeps into cracks, creating damp patches that can lead to structural degradation. Once inside, moisture triggers a chain reaction—peeling paint, fungal growth, and corroding steel. When steel corrodes, it expands and creates cracks that weaken the concrete. Traditional paints, even those labelled “waterproof”, often fail to address this at a basic level. They may hold up temporarily but deteriorate under continuous hydrostatic pressure or temperature changes.

How Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock Waterproofing Paint Technology responds
Developed using acrylic elastomeric polymers, Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock paints form a resilient, flexible membrane. This adjusts for the expansion and contraction caused by temperature differences, especially in tropical zones where temperature and humidity fluctuate significantly. Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock stretches and recoils with the structure, ensuring lasting protection.

Where water usually finds a way—terraces, parapets, exterior walls, and joints between walls, slabs, and parapets—Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock resists hydrostatic pressure up to 4 bars. This makes it ideal for areas frequently exposed to weathering. Its advanced water-barrier properties keep rain out and prevent moisture ingress.

Combating cracks and dampness
Cracks are gateways to water ingress. Minor fissures become channels for water ingress during prolonged rains. Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock’s elastomeric properties accommodate minor expansion and contraction in building materials, keeping the paint film intact and prohibiting water entry.

UV and carbonation resistance
Exterior walls also face UV radiation, which fades and cracks traditional paints. Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock systems are designed to resist UV damage at the base, maintaining their protective film over time. It also shields concrete from carbonation, a process in which carbon dioxide penetrates the concrete and reacts with moisture, eroding the reinforcement steel. By prohibiting moisture from entering, Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock extends the structural life of buildings.

Homesure Premium, a wall putty that does more than smoothening
While Homesure Mastertouch Waterlock protects exteriors, Homesure Premium wall putty prepares interior walls. It fills micro-cracks, smoothens surface undulations, and creates a flawless base for decorative finishes. Its strong adhesion ensures uniform paint application, enhancing durability and finish.

Homesure w-Shield SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber)
Moisture-prone interiors, such as bathrooms and kitchens, benefit the most from Homesure w-Shield SBR. It protects these water-prone surfaces from stains and mould. Its water resistance prevents bubbling and peeling, which are common during monsoons. The product is suitable for use on foundations and interior surfaces for waterproofing and bonding, especially in areas not exposed to direct sunlight.

Homesure w-Shield LWC (liquid waterproofing compound)
Homesure w-Shield LWC is an integral waterproofing compound that can be used during concrete and plaster applications to increase density by minimising the porosity of the concrete on mortar. It is suitable wherever cement is applied at a dosage of 200 ml per 50 kg of cement.

Eco-safe formulationHomesure Mastertouch Waterlock products are free from harmful chemicals like lead, mercury, and chromium, making them safe for homes with children and elderly residents.
