Apex Ultima Protek Duralife consists of a Top Coat and Base Coat. The Base Coat has to be applied as an undercoat and cannot be tinted. Apex Ultima Protek Top Coat, applied over Apex Ultima Protek Base coat can be tinted to achieve the desired shade.

The basic requirements to get a warranty include a purchase of  atleast 40 litres of Ultima Protek Duralife Base Coat and 20 litres of Ultima Protek Duralife Top Coat. 

Yes, both the warranties will be covered in a single warranty document and it will take 15 days for the certificate to arrive.

The Ultima Protek Duralife warranty registration process is very simple. A call has to be made on our Asian Paints Helpline 1800-209-5678 to register the warranty. All information will be logged and then a warranty registration number will be provided for future reference.

In the case of Base Coat, 1 self-priming coat of Protek will cover 6 square metre per litre and 1 protective undiluted coat of Protek will cover 5 to 5-5 square metre per litre. However, for Top Coat, it will cover 5.5 to 6.5 square metre per litre for 2 coats. For every 1 litre of Apex Ultima Protek Topcoat, you need to apply approximately 2 litres of Base coat.

The warranty will only be provided where Smartcare Damp Proof has been used on horizontal surfaces.

The life span of Ultima Protek Duralife is 10 years.

To apply Ultima Protek Duralife, clean the surface thoroughly with a water jet and wire brush to remove loose particles and algal growth. If any minor surface cracks, fix it with the Asian Paints SmartCare Crack Seal. To level the surface, apply Asian Wall Putty if required. After this, Base Coat Application has to be done. Apply the first coat of Apex Ultima Protek base coat. Mix one litre Ultima Protek Duralife (Base coat) with 300 ml. of water. Then apply a second coat of Ultima Protek Duralife (Base Coat). This coat is to be applied undiluted. Ensure coverage of 30-35 square feet per litre for 2 coats. Lastly, apply Top Coat on the surface with the desired shade of Ultima Protek Duralife. Mix 1 litre of Apex Ultima Protek Top coat with 400 ml. of water and apply 2 coats of Ultima Protek Duralife Top coat over the base coat. Allow a drying time of 4 hours between coats.

No, the application of Asian Wall Putty is not recommended as the hold of Apex Ultima Protek Duralife base coat is much better on the surface as compared to Putty. Also, if there is a failure in the putty application, the warranty will not remain valid. However, if Asian Wall putty is to be applied to level the surface, a thin coat (less than 1.5 mm) can be applied.
