1) What is wall putty and why is it used before paint?
Wall putty is a cement-based finishing material applied on plastered walls to create a smooth, even surface before painting.
It improves paint adhesion, reduces surface porosity, increases finish quality, and helps the paint film last longer—especially on new construction walls.
2) Is wall putty manufacturing a profitable business in India?
Yes. Demand is consistent due to construction, repainting, and contractor-driven consumption. Profitability depends on a stable formula, controlled raw material quality,
correct mixing method, packaging control and market-fit pricing. With the right planning, many units target early break-even by avoiding trial losses and batch failures.
3) What minimum investment is required to start a wall putty unit?
Investment varies by capacity, automation level, and packaging method. Small setups can start with basic dry mixing and manual packing, while higher capacity plants need
dust control, conveying, storage and bagging systems. A correct plan should be made after deciding capacity, target market and quality grade—before choosing machines.
4) Which raw materials are commonly used in wall putty?
Commonly used materials include white cement, graded fillers (like dolomite/calcium carbonate), polymers/binders (as per grade), cellulose/thickener, and performance additives.
Exact selection depends on target smoothness, whiteness, workability, open time, coverage and on-site performance expectations.
5) Can I get wall putty formula guidance from you?
Yes. Formula guidance includes defining the grade and performance targets (finish, coverage, workability, stability), selecting compatible raw materials, and setting a repeatable
mixing method. A stable formula is always supported with trial planning and quality checkpoints so production remains consistent batch-to-batch.
6) What machines are required for wall putty manufacturing?
Machine requirement depends on capacity and process flow. Most units use a dry mixer (like ribbon blender / twin-shaft, depending on design), feeding and weighing system,
dust control, and packing arrangement. Machines should be selected only after process planning—so you avoid over-investment and operational bottlenecks.
7) What is the difference between manual, semi-automatic and automatic setup?
Manual setups rely on basic mixing and packing with higher labor involvement. Semi-automatic setups improve weighing, material handling and packing consistency.
Automatic setups integrate conveying, batching, mixing and bag filling for higher output and stable repeatability. Selection should match your capacity, manpower availability and expansion plan.
8) How do you ensure consistent quality in wall putty production?
Consistency comes from raw material control (same grade, same supplier discipline), correct mixing time/order, moisture control, and defined QC checks.
We guide practical checkpoints like batch uniformity, flow/workability indicators, packaging stability and common problem troubleshooting—so quality does not depend on guesswork.
9) What common problems occur in wall putty and how are they solved?
Common issues include lumping, poor smoothness, low whiteness, weak coverage, inconsistency between batches, or on-site workability complaints.
These usually come from incorrect raw material grading, wrong mixing method, moisture exposure, or unbalanced additive selection. Troubleshooting starts by checking process steps and raw material quality first.
10) Do you provide trial support and training?
Yes. Trial support includes trial batch planning, operating guidance, correction loops and finalization of a repeatable process. Training focuses on practical production discipline:
raw material handling, mixing workflow, QC checks and basic troubleshooting so production becomes stable and scalable.
11) Is licensing, GST or any registration required?
Basic requirements typically include business registration and GST as per your business model. Many units also opt for MSME (Udyam) registration.
Depending on scale and local rules, you may need local compliance and safety considerations. We can guide on the common compliance checklist based on your setup plan.
12) Why should I take consultancy before purchasing machines?
Because machine selection without process clarity often leads to wrong capacity, wrong mixing method, poor workflow, higher dust issues, higher labor cost and repeated trial losses.
Consultancy-first planning helps you finalize process flow, quality targets and costing discipline—then machines are selected to match your actual production requirement.
