Cement & Finishes – Commercial name associated with white/coloured cement products in India Which of the following is a well-known commercial name associated with white and coloured cement-based finishing products in India?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Snowcem

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
In building practice, certain trade names become synonymous with product categories. For white and coloured cement-based surface finishes and paints in India, one commercial name has been widely recognised and colloquially used for decades.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • The question refers to commercial naming familiar in Indian construction markets.
  • Focus is on recognition rather than exact corporate branding history.
  • White/coloured cement-based finishes are intended.



Concept / Approach:
“Snowcem” has been a prominent brand in India associated with cement-based, often white or coloured, protective finishes. Though technically a paint/coating based on cement chemistry rather than bagged structural cement, it is the best-known commercial name linked by practitioners to white/coloured cement-based finishes.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify the popularly recognised brand linked to white/coloured cement finishes → Snowcem.Note that other listed names are not widely established or may not be commonly associated with the category.Select “Snowcem”.



Verification / Alternative check:
Trade literature and market usage for decades have referenced Snowcem products for exterior cement-based coatings, reinforcing brand recognition.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Colocrete/Rainbow cement/Silvicrete: not established or widely recognised brand names for this category in common exam contexts.
  • “All of the above”: incorrect because the recognition is specific rather than generic across these names.



Common Pitfalls:
Confusing cement-based paints with structural white cement; while related, they serve different purposes in construction.



Final Answer:
Snowcem
