1. White Cement Based Wall Putty
Currently, white cement putty is the most popular form of wall putty made by finely pulverizing white cement, polymer, and minerals. Thus, it provides excellent bonding properties.
White cement putty is ideal for exterior and interior surfaces and provides a glossy, excellently bright, and smooth surface. In addition, white cement is used for decoration and is resistant to wall moisture. White cement putty for walls is made of cement as its main component and is highly durable.
2. Acrylic Wall Putty
Acrylic wall putty is a water-based putty made from an acrylic emulsion, white pigment, and additives. Acrylic putty is used only on the inside of the wall, whereas acrylic wall putty provides a matte finish and a smooth, uniform appearance. The bonding properties of acrylic putty are lower than those of white cement putty.
