Apex Ultima Protek Exterior Paint: Advanced Weatherproof Solution

Apex Ultima Protek System is a high-performance painting system that offers a 12-year paint performance (colour retention & film integrity) warranty and a unique 10-year waterproofing and 10-year anti-algal warranty. The first of its kind, the warranty covers product performance against not just fading, flaking and peeling but also covers blisters, splits, tears and excessive weathering of the paint film and prevents external water ingress through vertical walls. The same is applicable only if the recommended procedures are followed as detailed in the Product Information Sheet and the Warranty booklet. The warranty is a mark of reassurance from Asian Paints on the purchase of the product. Please call on our toll-free number 1800-209-5678 or visit our website to register your warranty.
