Wicks it
Damp climbs out of the plinth and the wall into whatever is pressed against them, and carries salts and fungal growth with it.

PRIME GUARD LACCO+ exists because of a pattern anyone who has renovated a building in a monsoon climate already knows: the damage almost never starts where you can see it. It starts at the junction.
Why junctions fail
A door frame, a window frame, a plinth belt, a truss bearing. Each of these is a place where two different materials are pressed together and then buried under plaster. One of them nearly always holds water.
The buried face never dries out. It has no airflow, no sunlight, and no coat of paint, because nobody paints the side that will not be seen. That is where dampness crosses into the masonry, where termites find timber that is permanently soft, and where rust begins to expand and crack the render around it.
PRIME GUARD LACCO+ treats that face. Three coatings, one for each substrate, each forming a continuous barrier at the point of contact, so the junction stops being the weakest part of the build.

Aqua Block®Timber & plywood
A frame that never dries swells, goes soft and rots from the back, and soft timber is exactly what termites look for.
Wood Seal®Steel & iron
Rust takes up more room than the steel it came from, so a buried bracket or grille slowly cracks the render around it.
Rust Shield®Protect · Preserve · Perform
Put a physical barrier between the water and the material. Not a sealer that slows moisture down, but a film that stops it crossing the joint at all.
Keep the substrate as it was built: concrete sound, timber stable and breathing, steel free of corrosion. Protection that changes the material has not preserved anything.
Work the way a site works. Direct apply, no primer, recoat in 2–3 hours, hard dry in 5–8, so the barrier never becomes the reason a schedule slips.
Where it is used
Specified at the frame and belt stage, before plaster. The cheapest moment to protect a junction is the only moment it is fully accessible.
When a frame comes out or a damp wall is opened up, the exposed contact face can be treated before anything is put back.
Coated in the workshop on trestles, where all faces of a frame are reachable, including the ones that will be buried.
