It consists of chalk, water, and pigment \u2014 with no polymer binder \u2014 giving it a flat, chalky finish. While cheap, distemper has significant drawbacks: it cannot be washed, chalks rapidly when touched, and needs repainting every 2\u20133 years.<\/p>\n<p>There are two types: <strong>dry distemper<\/strong> (powder mixed with water on site, very cheap) and <strong>oil-bound distemper (OBD)<\/strong> (slightly better adhesion, comes ready-mixed). OBD lasts slightly longer and is marginally washable, but still far inferior to modern emulsions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use case:<\/strong> Extremely budget-conscious applications \u2014 rental properties, storerooms, compound walls.

It&#8217;s a water-based paint that contains polymers (acrylic or vinyl) which, when dry, form a tough, washable film. Emulsion paints are available in multiple finishes (matt, satin, sheen, gloss) and a huge range of colours.<\/p>\n<p>The key differentiator between emulsion grades is the quantity and quality of polymer, pigment, and additives. Budget emulsions (Tractor Emulsion) use less polymer and lower-quality pigments; premium emulsions (Royale) use more polymer, superior pigments, and often add anti-bacterial or anti-fungal properties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use case:<\/strong> All interior rooms \u2014 the default choice for Indian homes<br \/><strong>Cost:<\/strong> \u20b98\u201325\/sqft<br \/><strong>Asian Paints products:<\/strong> Tractor Emulsion (economy), Apcolite Premium (mid), Royale Luxury \/ Aspira (premium)<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Enamel_Paint\"><\/span>3.

It is significantly more durable than emulsion for surfaces that receive physical wear \u2014 doors, window frames, metal railings, wooden furniture, and floor skirting. However, it has high VOC levels, takes longer to dry, and requires mineral spirit (turpentine) for cleaning brushes.<\/p>\n<p>Modern &#8220;synthetic enamel&#8221; available in India is alkyd-based (lower VOC than traditional oil enamel) and widely used for interior woodwork and metalwork.

It is applied with rollers, sponges, or trowels to build patterns and depth on the wall. Texture paint is used primarily for accent walls and feature walls rather than entire rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike regular emulsion, texture paint covers surface imperfections (cracks, uneven plaster) extremely well and adds significant visual character.
