Silicate paint
environmentally friendly coating with a particularly long service life

Silicate paint: mineral coating with unbeatable advantages

Silicate paints are white, matt mineral paints for high-quality wall and ceiling coatings. They form a permanent, almost indissoluble bond with mineral substrates (silicification) - an ingenious adhesion principle that ensures maximally durable , weather-resistant and solid surfaces. The increased pH value of silicate paints inhibits the development of mould, fungus and algae infestation. They have a natural disinfecting effect and ensure a healthy indoor climate. The binding agent potassium silicate glass allows the complete elimination of solvents, plasticisers and preservatives. In this sense, silicate paints are first-class ecological solutions for sensitive areas such as those used by allergy sufferers, kindergartens, hospitals, bedrooms, and children's rooms. The use of environmentally friendly silicate paints also brings enormous advantages in the field of sustainable building. Thanks to the highest UV stability, they prove to be extremely colourfast and do not fade over the years.

Natural mould protection thanks to silicate paints

Mould has no chance on breathable walls. Since silicate paints have a mineral structure and no organic ingredients, they are open to diffusion, i.e. they are breathable . When humidity is high they absorb the moisture and release it again when humidity is low. In this way, the mineral wall paint regulates the humidity in the room and keeps the walls dry.

Please note that due to their high pH value, silicate paints are strongly alkaline and therefore highly corrosive . Therefore, be sure to wear alkali-proof protective clothing, safety goggles and protective gloves when applying the paint! Also remember to cover all glass surfaces and sensitive surfaces to avoid damage.

Silicate paint - guaranteed ecological & convincingly versatile

Silicate paint is used in areas where hard-wearing, environmentally friendly coatings are required. Interior silicate paints are suitable for use throughout the home. They create a healthy living environment and are particularly recommended for intensively used rooms, such as bedrooms, children's rooms or even the living room. The use of silicate paints also has a positive effect in damp rooms due to their breathable, moisture-regulating properties.

Silicate paint is also used in schools, kindergartens, public buildings and in the preservation of historical monuments. Thanks to maximum weather resistance and unsurpassed durability, it is the ideal facade paint. It ensures long-lasting clean, fast-drying exterior facades with a mineral matt appearance. Properties such as maximum covering power, UV and colour shade resistance, and exceptionally high durability make it particularly economical to use. Thus, the lightfast, environmentally compatible colour shades show a lasting depth and brilliance even over decades and shine unchanged from the velvety matt surface. In addition, mineral-painted surfaces do not build up static charge and do not become sticky when exposed to heat. As a result, they also get less dirty. With silicate paints, facades stay clean longer and even stains that can develop over time can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

The right substrate is important

Silicate paints are easy to apply and are ideal for mineral substrates such as plaster, concrete and cement. Thus, silicate paints can be used on walls with mineral plaster or made of natural stone in indoor and outdoor areas. Silicate paints are also the right choice for concrete and cement substrates indoors. Silicate paints can only be used to a limited extent on substrates containing gypsum and lime. It is, however, advisable to use caution with wallpaper, wood, metal, and painted surfaces - these water-soluble substrates are not suitable for use with silicate paint.
