Mineral paints are one group of material colors here. You can assume a bit derived from the name that mineral paints have a mineral background, consist of water glass, quartz, limestone, marble plus then mineral pigments as colorants. All completely harmless materials, raw materials found in nature.

In addition to their healthy performance, the mineral colors also have a whole range of positive properties. As a result of using minerals as a pigment here, these paints have a very, very high color stability, which also means that they have significantly longer renovation intervals, especially on the façade. Also an aspect of health, how often do I have to exchange material. Again, the buzzword cycle, resource consumption, with every new coating, the risk of pollutant diffusion, i.e. durability, is a very, very big economic advantage, of course.

In addition, mineral paints do not form a film on the surface, but rather silicate with the substrate due to the operating principle of, also known as silicate paints, and interlock here very, very finely. This also results in high durability, but also has the great advantage that there is no pure film on the surface.

That surface plasters and wall structures coated with these healthy colors still allow a high water vapor diffusion current density. Another short link to room air conditioning. With just such surfaces, it is not visually noticeable at all; it is not obvious to the layman whether it is an emulsion paint or a mineral silicate paint. Nevertheless, to create significantly more active surfaces that are beneficial to the indoor climate.

I did not specifically mention another major advantage in the first few blocks when it came to healthy living. I didn't go into details, so here's a very brief digression. You hear more and more about the problem of mold. The fact that mold has increased in rooms is due, on the one hand, to our increasingly dense construction and, of course, to the structures and coatings that are being used.

For which you can clearly say that there are coatings, which in particular are organic coatings. Significantly more susceptible to algae settling on it, forming algae and, accordingly, a mould infection taking place.

In turn, the big advantage of mineral paints here is that the formulation means that the material has no organic nutrient medium that is needed at all, but it is precisely these colors that ultimately do not allow the mold, which fungi, to grow here at all, because the nutrient medium is completely non-existent in the mineral composition.

Now I've heard again and again that I have a mold problem, then I take a mineral paint and paint the area and then everything is good. It is not quite that simple, just a brief objection at this point. In most cases, the issue of mold growth is much more complex. Only with a new coat of paint, a different type of paint, can it be solved in this way in the rarest cases.

It is understandable and logical to everyone that it is understandable from a healthy point of view, where no nutrient medium has been introduced in the first place and therefore no mold can form.
