Dulux is a well-known brand in China, and it is more familiar with its interior wall latex paint, which was formerly owned by the British Imperial Chemical Industries Company and is currently a sub-brand of the Dutch AkzoNobel Group.
 
In the Chinese paint market, Dulux and Nippon Paint belong to the absolute first-line brand, the market recognition is very high, once each occupied half of the Chinese paint market, each other is the most important competitor, it can be said that there is a Nippon store, there must be a Dulux store.
 
The number of Dulux's interior wall latex paint products is much richer than Nippon's, and the putty product line is just the opposite, Dulux's products are far less than Nippon's, but even so, Dulux's putty types are relatively complete, and there are interface agents, bottom putty, and surface putty, which can already meet most of the needs of wall renovation.
 
There are two series of putty, Luxex and Lexex, but the main series is Lexis, Lexis only has one interior wall general putty, the model is A122, and the Lexis also has a interior wall general putty, both powder and paste, model A123. Judging from the official description documents, there is basically no difference between the two, and the only slight difference in the description is that the description of Lexex A121 is "compatible with various Dulux interior wall primers and topcoats", while the A123 is "compatible with various Dulux professional interior wall primers and topcoats". However, it should be noted that these two products are general putty, which do not have the water resistance in the industry standard, and are not suitable for occasions with water resistance needs, such as bathrooms, kitchens, etc., so they are not recommended.
 
In today's popularity of water-resistant putty, Dulux A121 is recommended as a top-layer putty with good moisture resistance and bond strength, suitable for cement mortar, concrete and gypsum board substrates. According to the official instructions, usually add 3-4.5 parts of water to 10 parts of powder according to the weight ratio, stir well, and then stir slightly after 5-15 minutes of standstill. Usually it is necessary to scrape 2 times, the first one is used for leveling the base surface, and the second one is used for compaction and wiping, and the interval between the two passes is generally 4-6 hours. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the thickness of the single-pass batch scraping, try not to be greater than 1mm, and all kinds of coatings can be painted only after 3-4 days after construction.
 
However, some users reported that Duolux putty powder is not easy to buy, and there are more counterfeit products offline, so there is a simple way to screen them: Dulux's three major production bases are AkzoNobel Swire Paint Oil (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., AkzoNobel Swire Paint Oil (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and AkzoNobel Decorative Paint (Langfang) Co., Ltd.
