Mineral paint is made from water glass and mineral pigments, creating a water-resistant and breathable barrier that protects against pollution, acid rain, and mold. It is eco-friendly and comes in interior and exterior forms. The paint bonds with the surface, providing long-lasting protection against damage and fading. Mineral interior paint has self-cleaning properties, while exterior paint protects against atmospheric agents and graffiti.
Mineral paint is a type of paint made from water glass and mineral pigments. Forms a bond with a surface, creating a water resistant, yet vapor permeable barrier. Mineral paint provides a protective coating against pollution, acid rain and mold. It is considered environmentally friendly as it contains natural ingredients and very little or no volatile organic carbon (VOC). It is produced in two forms: interior and exterior mineral paint.
Typically, mineral paint is made from water glass, such as sodium silicate or potassium silicate. These chemicals are colorless, transparent, and glass-like. These qualities have led them to be commonly referred to as waterglass.
The mineral pigments that make up mineral paint are inorganic compounds. These are natural compounds resistant to alkaline substances. Mineral pigments do not contain organic compounds commonly found in traditional paints.
When a surface is treated with mineral paint, the underlying crevices also come into contact with the paint. The paint penetrates the material and reacts chemically with it. As a result, a covalent bond develops between the surface and the paint. The bond is very strong and is almost like a seal. This allows the surface to be waterproof but breathable at the same time.
The coating typically protects the surface from damage while maintaining the integrity of the paint. The paint color will not fade as it is UV resistant. Plus, the paint won’t flake, chip or peel when it comes into contact with pollution or rain. The surface is protected from harmful water, algae and carbonation.
Mineral interior paint comes in a variety of colors. It has a photocatalytic agent which gives the paint a self-cleaning property and remains bright and colorful for many years. Different types of stains and glazes are also available. Most interior paints are applicable to a variety of surfaces including masonry, concrete, stone and plaster. The plasters require a cement coating of pure mineral lime.
The mineral paint for exteriors is designed to protect the surface from atmospheric agents. It can be used to repair, restore and protect concrete, stone and masonry. The entire exterior of a home can be restored with this type of paint. It will protect the home from moisture and salt damage. Most exterior paints also provide unique protection against graffiti or other disfiguring sprays, as well as dirt or rain stains.
