Silicate paints

Silicate paints are a special type of mineral paint produced on the basis of water glass. These paints are characterized by their high resistance and durability, especially with regard to weathering and UV radiation. They are environmentally friendly as they do not contain organic solvents and do not contribute to air pollution due to their mineral composition.

The main component of silicate paints is water glass, also known as potassium silicate, which is mixed with mineral pigments to achieve the desired color shade. These pigments are often inorganic in nature and offer a wide range of colors ranging from pastel shades to bold, bright colors.

Silicate paints have excellent adhesion to mineral substrates such as concrete, plaster, masonry and natural stone. They react chemically with the substrate and form a permanent bond that ensures high resistance to peeling and flaking. Due to their microporous structure, silicate paints allow effective diffusion of water vapor, which helps to prevent moisture build-up and mold formation. This makes them particularly suitable for use in humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor areas.

Silicate paints are also fire resistant and non-flammable, which contributes to their use in areas with high fire safety requirements. Overall, silicate paints offer a sustainable and durable solution for the design and coating of interior and exterior surfaces that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
