Duram OneForPlaster – a game-changer in the paint industry

Introducing Duram’s OneForPlaster, the innovative paint and primer designed for newly plastered walls, developed to accelerate project completion. Traditionally, contractors and painters had to wait 28 days for plaster to cure. With OneForPlaster, you can now plaster today and paint tomorrow.

This unique, premium low-sheen formula can be applied to fresh plaster just one day after application—no separate primer required. Only two coats are needed for a beautiful, durable finish. OneForPlaster allows moisture to escape naturally, tolerating up to 60% moisture content. It helps the plaster breathe and dry while preventing water from entering, and it penetrates deep into cementitious capillaries for superior adhesion. This prevents typical problems like alkali damage, efflorescence, and delamination.

The product is suitable for both interior and exterior surfaces and comes with coloursmart technology, offering over 800 Duram colours. Expect exceptional colour depth, fade resistance, high accuracy, and outstanding coverage. Thanks to its hygienic silver ion technology, this pure acrylic paint also stays protected for longer.

Why it matters to retailers

For contractors, builders, and professional painters, time is money. OneForPlaster comes with a 12-year guarantee and delivers a reliable, high-performance solution allowing customers to complete projects faster—without compromising quality. It is also suitable for dry plaster or previously painted surfaces during redecorating, delivering a luxurious, low-sheen, hardwearing, UV- and weather-resistant finish that is washable and resists dirt pick-up. It truly is a “One-Product, One-Solution” offering.

Benefits and application

• Applying a standard primer too soon can trap moisture, risking peeling, blistering, poor adhesion, and mould or alkali damage. Using OneForPlaster prevents these risks.
• OneForPlaster suits new and weathered plaster, fibre-cement, concrete, brickwork, and previously painted surfaces.
• Duram’s new release is low-odour, low-VOC, APEO-free, and water-based, protecting health and easing clean-up.
• Stockist tips: Educate staff on the difference between standard and specialist primers. Always check the surface is dry and free of defects, measure moisture (must be below 60%), and ensure all imperfections are corrected with gypsum-free products.
• Only use on suitable surfaces, not for floors. Apply two coats at 8-10m²/litre per coat. No topcoat needed.

This industry-first solution helps speed up project timelines and delivers professional, long-lasting results – making it the preferred choice for professionals aiming for efficiency.
