Safety data sheet
Technical data sheet

1. What is SPO Anti-Damp Paint used for?

SPO Anti-Damp Paint is formulated to tackle damp, wet, or leak-affected walls & ceilings immediately—without waiting for them to dry fully. It locks in moisture, helps prevent efflorescence, and provides a biocidal layer to reduce mould growth, creating a solid foundation for further painting.

2. Can I apply this paint on actively damp walls & ceilings?

Yes. One of its main benefits is that it can be applied to damp surfaces, which is especially useful in areas affected by rising damp, leaks, or floods. It allows you to restore the space faster without lengthy drying times.

3. Does it help prevent efflorescence and mould?

Yes. SPO Anti-Damp Paint contains a biocidal component that helps prevent mould and fungal growth. It also resists efflorescence—those white salt deposits that can form on damp walls & ceilings—so your walls & ceilings remain cleaner and fresher.

4. How do I apply it?

Use a brush, short pile roller, or spray, depending on your preference and the size of the area. Ensure the wall is free from loose debris or flaking paint, and follow the recommended drying time of around 12 hours before adding a breathable topcoat.

5. Is it really oil-based but low odour?

Yes. Despite being an oil-based formula, SPO Anti-Damp Paint is formulated to minimise fumes and odours, making it more comfortable to apply indoors than many traditional oil-based paints.

6. Can I paint over it with standard emulsion?

After the paint has fully dried (typically ~12 hours), you can apply a breathable topcoat or emulsion. The primer layer offered by SPO Anti-Damp Paint helps ensure a smoother finish and stronger adhesion for your topcoat.

7. What coverage can I expect?

Coverage is roughly 9 m² per litre, though this depends on the wall’s condition and how generously you apply the paint. For maximum effectiveness, use thin, even coats and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
