Why Choose LANDU Chemical Additives for Your Wall Putty Formula

A superior wall putty formula starts with understanding each ingredient's role. By choosing LANDU additives, you're ensuring quality and performance that sets your skim coat apart from competitors.

What is a Skim Coat/Wall Putty?

A skim coat, also known as wall putty, is a thin layer of compound applied to walls to create a smooth surface before painting. It works well on both wet and dry surfaces, as well as interior and exterior walls. The main job of a wall putty formula is to protect your walls while making them look better.
