Abstract:
Based upon a scientific understanding of the reasons different properties
develop, slaked lime putty or aged undergo time dependent changes upon storage
in water so some mortar samples were made. Aim of experimentation was to
achieve high quality wall putty that provides power of Having walls without any
visible pores or crack-lines, Helps in stopping or reducing water seepage, flaking or
dampening of walls, Is easy to apply, Helps in preventing any fungal or algae
growth on the walls Doesn’t need any water curing Walls are ready for application
of next coating of wall care putty or putty paint in 3 – 4 hours and Provides an
even and smooth surface for effective application of paints.

Raw materials (Ammonia, brightly, Margal,Calgal ,whitener and movicol )

were tested separately to know the effect on quality of wall putty and mixed
thoroughly with the fact that it evenly fills in the tiniest of the pores on a wall or
ceiling, thus giving an even surface for putting up an effective coating, acts as a
cherry on top through the experimentation and improvement techniques.

The nanostructure and irreversible colloid nature of bright in putty

determine the desirable working properties (Plasticity, Density) which
concentration ranges( 30g-50g) is then modified to check results. Ammonia being
reactive act as preservative against fungal and algae growth and corrosion.
Ammonia concentration ranges (0.625ml-0.925ml) are specified. It also
contributes towards the useful life of wall putty.

Estimation of density variable with the change in concentrations of main

ingredients signifies the quality variance respectively.
Introduction:
Wall putty is a white fine substance that is used to provide smooth base to the
wall surface. It provides smooth damp finish and it allows all types of colours to be
applicable over the walls. It is applied on the walls and ceilings prior to priming
and painting. Wall putty also takes care of the expensive paint that you use over
the walls and ensure its stability and durability. Wall putty is one of the most
important constituent in the painting process. If you wish that your walls get a
smooth and even finish you first need to fill any holes or cracks with putty and
then go ahead with priming and painting process. Application of wall putty prior
to painting process ensures smooth finish as putty grants ideal base to the walls
for further application of all kinds of paints.

Decay time of wall putty must had to be increased by preservatives addition.

Normally, the shelf life of a paint putty is 6 – 12 months. It is, therefore planned to
extend life of putty. Water seepage, flaking and dampening of walls acts as a
major headache for any household. Therefore, apart from filling in the cracks and
pores in a wall, the main purpose any best wall putty is to resist water seepage
was other main goal. Wall care putty tends to absorb moisture from the air, over
time, thereby lowering down its effectiveness. Therefore, it becomes essential to
check its packaging quality, and opt only for best wall putty brands available in the
market. To act as the best putty for walls, it is essential that the product is stored
in cool and dry condition. This would also give a boost to the shelf life of the
product, and its effectiveness at the time of application.

The wall putty is an adhesive building material you can use to fill in the small
holes. If the hole is too big, you must use some brickbats before using the wall
putty. Use of the wall putty makes the surface of the wall smooth and presents an
aesthetic finish.
Experimental work:
 Raw material were tested analytically and measured
according to the reference scale developed.
 Using appropriate amount of indigents and made a reference
sample for the experimental progress,
 Keeping the general indigents(water, whitener, movical
calgal and margal) amount constant and vary the
composition of main indigents (ammonia and brighty)
according to the experimentation techniques.
 Thoroughly mix each of the suspension in the mixer
(1000rpm) for 45 minutes.
 Obtain the sample and density was calculated for the quality
determination.

Results Discussion:
It is stated from Pareto chart that the concentration factor B
denoted for Brighty(CaCO3) has greator effect on the Quality
factor (density) whereas, the factor A that is denoted for
Ammonia has minimum effect on it. From the interaction term it is
stated that both the factors are must be in optimum proportion to
each other for the increased quality factor but Factor B effects the
more.

So it is concluded that there is relationship between density and

the factors in the model at the 0.10 level of significance.
