Puhua Eco Plaster: Transforming Walls with the Power of Nature
While living in Singapore gives us the enjoyment of a vibrant, beautiful, clean and safe city, let’s be honest, it also means enduring our hot and humid weather. While our tropical climate is a big part of what makes this place home, it also brings unique challenges for our living spaces.
Many homeowners are constantly grappling with moisture related surface issues, from mould / booklice crawling over our ceilings and walls, ugly white patches that keeps coming back no matter how often we wipe them off, to older flats where spalling concrete appears after years of moisture exposure that threatens our safety.
At Asher, we are always looking for innovative, sustainable, and health-conscious solutions for Singaporean homeowners. We also believe your walls should play an active part of your home’s health solution, not a passive contributor to its problems.
That’s why we are excited to introduce a groundbreaking product to our range of home painting and specialty wall treatment services! - Puhua Eco Plaster, an all-natural wall plaster made from diatomaceous earth.
This revolutionary plaster not only helps to smoothen uneven surfaces on your walls, it also actively improves the living environment within your home. Whether you live in a HDB flat, condominium, or a landed property with children and elderly residents, Puhua Eco Plaster offers benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Let’s explore why this amazing product is changing the way we think about interior walls.
🌱 What is Puhua Eco Plaster?
Puhua Eco Plaster is made from diatomaceous earth, a naturally occurring, silica-rich material formed from fossilised remains of aquatic organisms known as diatoms. For centuries, diatomaceous earth has been prized for its unique absorbent, porous, and eco-friendly properties. You may have seen this material used in bathroom mats which were all the rage in the last couple of years. Now, these same qualities have been harnessed in wall plaster to create a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable indoor environment.
Unlike conventional wall finishes that may contain chemicals, solvents, or synthetic binders, Puhua Eco Plaster is 100% natural and chemical-free. This makes it safe for families, especially households with young children or sensitive individuals who may react to strong odours, VOCs, or mould growth.
8 Reasons Why Puhua Eco Plaster is a Game-Changer for Singapore Homes
1. Absorbs Moisture
Singapore’s high humidity is a constant challenge for homeowners. Condensation and moisture build-up can lead to excessive moisture on your homes' surfaces resulting in the frustrating and pesky mould infestation, white patches and blistering paint that you see in your home.
The Puhua Eco Plaster works like a natural sponge, transforming your home into a moisture fighting powerhouse. Its porous structure absorbs excess moisture from the air and gradually releases it when humidity drops. This natural regulation helps to maintain an optimal indoor humidity level, keeping walls dry and fresh even in poorly ventilated spaces. thereby eliminating the moisture factor that mould spores need to survive and multiply. This is the number 1 reason why the Puhua Eco Plaster an awesome preventative, non-toxic approach to maintaining a hygienic wall surface.
2. Anti-Mould and Bacteria
Mould growth is one of the most common complaints we hear from Singaporean homeowners. It not only looks unsightly but also poses health risks, especially to children and those with respiratory issues. Most anti-mould paints in the market work by using chemicals (fungicides) to kill the mould. Over time, these chemicals can degrade and their effectiveness wanes.
On the other hand, due to its ability to regulate moisture and its naturally alkaline composition, Puhua Eco Plaster is inherently resistant to mould and bacteria growth. By creating a hostile environment for harmful microorganisms, it helps protect your family’s health and extends the lifespan of your walls.
3. Sound & Heat Insulation
Beyond moisture control, Puhua Eco Plaster also traps air, creating a natural barrier against sound and heat. While not a substitute for dedicated acoustic insulation, Puhua Eco Plaster significantly reduces echo and ambient noise within a room, creating a more serene and peaceful living environment.
Furthermore, its thermal insulation properties can help reduce heat transfer from our intense equatorial sun. This can lead to a slightly cooler interior feel, potentially reducing your reliance on low temperature air conditioning and contributing to lower energy bills.
4. Releases Negative Ions
Negative ions are oxygen atoms charged with an extra electron and are commonly found near waterfalls or after thunderstorms, which explains why we feel refreshed in such environments.
Puhua Eco Plaster naturally emits a continuous stream of these negative ions. Why does this matter? Positive ions are often emitted by electronic devices (yes, look at your laptops, TVs, mobile phones) and can contribute to feelings of lethargy and stuffiness. Negative ions counteract this by attaching themselves to airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, and smoke, causing them to be removed from the air you breathe. This results in a home environment that feels fresher, cleaner, and more revitalising.
5. Odourless
Many homeowners hesitate to renovate or re-plaster walls because of the strong chemical smells associated with traditional building materials. With Puhua Eco Plaster, this is no longer an issue.
Being completely natural and free from artificial binders or chemicals, it is virtually odourless. This makes it safe and comfortable to live in your home even while works are being completed without worrying about lingering toxic fumes.
6. VOC Eliminating
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are harmful chemicals released from carpentry, adhesives, and furniture. They can cause headaches, dizziness, respiratory irritation, and even long-term health issues with prolonged exposure.
Puhua Eco Plaster not only contains zero VOCs—it also actively eliminates VOCs present in the air. Its porous structure absorbs and neutralises harmful gases, leaving your indoor air fresher and safer.
7. Purifies Air
Beyond removing VOCs, the unique properties of diatomaceous earth allow Puhua Eco Plaster to trap airborne pollutants, allergens, and neutralise odours from cooking, pets, or smoke. This contributes to cleaner indoor air quality, which is especially important for families with young children, elderly residents, or anyone with asthma or allergies. Think of your walls as a silent air purifier working round the clock continually to break down these harmful pollutants.
8. 100% Natural and Chemical-Free
Choosing Puhua Eco Plaster is not just a gift to your family; it’s a gift to the planet we live on. As a 100% natural material, it is sustainably sourced and has a minimal environmental footprint.
