Silacote USA Mineral Silicate Paint

Natural ingredients are at the heart of the unique qualities of mineral silicate paints. The binder is liquid potassium silicate whose structural form and hardness is perfectly compatable with its inorganic colorants and the inorganic concrete and masonry structures it is applied to. The quality of the SILACOTE product is ensured by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001as required under the EC Directive 88/379/EEC.

Silicate paints are harmless to the environment, consisting of natural mineral compounds including quartz, inorganic mineral colorants and liquid potassium silicate used as a binder. Silicate paints represent a technology which has no detrimental effects on the environment in terms of manufacturing as well as in terms of application. Under fire conditions no toxic fumes evolve as the Silacote does not ignite. Organic paints are not environmentally safe from manufacture to landfill disposal. SILACOTE is listed with GreenSpec 4th Edition and will provide one (1) LEED Credit under the US Green Council Grading and Commissioning System.
