Whether it’s reducing energy consumption, protection against pollution, or enhancing aesthetics and durability, our products are designed to make a positive impact for our customers.

As a brand that prioritises innovation and value delivery, we are thrilled to share our innovations with you.

Improved indoor climate through Heatseal.

The rising summer temperatures have led to a surge in the demand for air conditioners, which provide relief from the hot and humid indoor climate. However, this also has a negative impact on the environment, as air conditioners consume a lot of electricity and emit greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. According to a study by the International Energy Agency, India’s cooling demand is expected to grow eightfold by 2050, making it the world’s largest consumer of cooling energy. This poses a serious challenge for the country’s energy security and climate goals, as well as its public health and well-being.

‘Cool Roofs’ are one of the critical solutions that can be highly effective in reducing the need for air conditioning in already built spaces and have a positive effect on the indoor climate of buildings.

Heatseal, an innovation from Indicus, is a roof-coating system that reflects solar radiation back into space and reduces the thermal transfer into the building. Its long-lasting white colour and specially added microspheres makes the interior of the building cooler by up to 10 °C.
Using Heatseal is a smart way to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, to save money – and the planet. Roofs treated with Heatseal have lower temperature, which requires less energy to cool down the air entering the buildings that translates into lesser CO2 emissions.

By using Heatseal for their roofs, people can reduce their cooling energy consumption and emissions, while also improving the building’s resilience to heat stress and enhancing its quality of life.

Bright ceiling, brighter life.

It is well known that a brighter environment can have a positive impact on people’s lives, both physically and mentally. Brightness can improve the mood, productivity, creativity and well-being of individuals and communities. Brightness can also reduce stress, depression and anxiety, as well as improve sleep quality and immune system function. A brighter environment is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also beneficial for health and wellness.

Ceiling Bright
Since paints that delivers bright whiteness are in categories that are premium and above, it falls out of reach for people who buy the entry segment paints. Indicus, in response, innovated to launch Ceiling Bright, a bright budget-friendly emulsion formulated specifically for ceilings.

It delivers the brightest white colour in its category that reflects more natural light, making the room brighter and thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting and saving energy costs. Ceiling Bright helps creating spaces that are well-lit, colourful, and inviting, that can enhance the quality of life and happiness of people.

Anti-aging promise that resists all forces of nature.

Every day, external wall paints are exposed to sunshine, rain, dirt, and other contaminants, which accelerates the paint’s ageing process. Renovation or re-painting is the usual way to keep the buildings looking new and fresh. However, it can be expensive, complicated, and raises the carbon emissions overall.

Forto
To address this issue, Indicus Forto, a high-performance exterior emulsion, is formulatedwith Dura-colour Technology. It resists all forces of nature to keep the look of the house fresh and clean for a longer period of time.

Forto’s innovative Dura-colour Technology is an anti-aging paint concept that helps protect paint from deterioration over a longer period. It resists sunlight and weather like rainfall, humidity, and heat to retain colour for a longer period. It’s perfect paint film and optimized surface resists dirt and pollution settling on the walls thereby keeping the look of your house ‘fresh and clean’.

Overall, Forto can deliver excellent colour-retention, superior dirt-pick-up-resistance, and outstanding efflorescence & alkali resistance, helping customers to extend their painting cycles.

Across our product range and services, Indicus’ approach to innovation is value-delivery. As excited as we are about these innovations, we are even more excited to look towards the future to push boundaries and innovate.

New Age Waterproof Coating And Its Uses – Indicus Aquaseal

New Age Waterproof Coating And Its Uses – Indicus Aquaseal

What is a Waterproofing Coating?

First, let’s clarify what waterproofing coatings are. The term “waterproof” refers to the ability of a coating to prevent water and moisture from entering your home. There are a number of paints on the market today that are referred to as “weather protective” or “water resistant,” which mean they offer some protection against moisture but do not completely stop it from intruding. Water repellent, or hydrophobic, coatings and paints must be completely waterproof.

How does it work?

Waterproof coatings form a durable, water-repellent layer that acts by creating a barrier that repels water and prevents it from penetrating surfaces. Some coatings work by filling in the microscopic gaps in materials, while others form a continuous film that water cannot pass through. The effectiveness of a waterproof coating depends on its ability to bond strongly to the surface it’s applied to, and it often requires proper preparation and application to ensure long-lasting protection.

Importance of Breathability

Breathability in coatings, particularly for walls, is crucial as it allows moisture transfer, preventing the buildup of water vapor which can lead to damp issues and structural damage. Breathable coatings are designed to let water vapor permeate through them, enabling it to evaporate, thus maintaining the health of a building’s infrastructure. The selection of coating with optimal breathability contributes to the longevity and durability of the building.

What is the use of a waterproofing coating?

You might be unaware of the purpose of using a waterproof coating. It’s key purposes are:

1. Avoiding Dampness

damp

Waterproofing coatings are typically used on porous materials like concrete, stone, and brick, which absorb moisture. This moisture may then travel from the external wall to the internal wall, causing damp. Damp can cause a number of problems in your home, including mould and mildew growth, musty odours, and structural damage. A waterproofing coating can helpto prevent these problems by providing a barrier against moisture.

2. Preventing Water Damage

It’s important to waterproof the exterior walls of your building so that they don’t deteriorate over time. When there’s a crack in the wall, water can easily enter and stay there. Over time, the moisture will freeze and expand, causing the crack to widen and allow more water to come in. It can end up causing significant damage to anything from brick work to paint work to even plastering.

3. Long-term Protection

long term protection

The long-term performance of buildings can be significantly enhanced by the application of waterproof coatings. These coatings serve as a barrier against moisture & water ingress, which is a primary factor in the deterioration of building materials like brickwork, stone, and concrete. Over time, they can cause damage leading to cracks and structural weakness. The choice of waterproof coating and the quality of its application play a pivotal role in the long-term health and integrity of a building.
