What is mineral silicate paint?

Mineral silicate paint uses an inorganic silicate binder that chemically bonds with mineral substrates like concrete, plaster, lime, brick, and natural stone through a process called silicification. Unlike acrylic paint, which sits on the surface as a plastic-like film, silicate paint fuses with the wall itself through a micro-crystalline chemical bond. PureSil uses a proprietary RHA silicate (rice-husk-ash-derived waterglass) binder, and is India's zero-VOC mineral silicate paint engineered for 20+ year functional life.

Is PureSil safe for homes with children, pets, and sensitive occupants?

Yes. PureSil is a completely zero-VOC (0 g/L), solvent-free formulation, so it releases no volatile organic compounds into indoor air during application or afterwards. The binder is a mineral silicate, the pigments are inorganic, and mould resistance comes from the paint's natural alkalinity rather than any leachable chemical biocide. It clears the most stringent global VOC thresholds, including SCAQMD Rule 1113, making it particularly suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, schools, and healthcare interiors.

How long does PureSil last?

PureSil is engineered for a 20+ year functional life on a properly prepared facade with a single application. Because the silicification bond fuses the coating with the wall's own mineral structure, and because inorganic mineral pigments do not degrade under UV, the coating does not peel, blister, or fade the way film-forming paints do. This effectively removes the routine repaint cycle from the building's maintenance schedule.

What makes PureSil different from conventional paint?

Most paints available today are acrylic emulsions, organic polymers that form a plastic-like film sitting on top of the wall. Over time this film peels, blisters, traps moisture, and requires a repaint every few years. Acrylics also carry VOCs and rely on chemical biocides to resist mould. PureSil is a fundamentally different chemistry. Its RHA silicate binder undergoes silicification, a micro-crystalline chemical fusion with the masonry itself, so the coating becomes part of the wall, breathes vapour freely (sd less than 0.01 m), resists mould through natural pH-11 alkalinity, and contains zero VOCs and zero solvents. It also actively sequesters CO2 from the atmosphere while curing.

Does PureSil prevent mould, mildew, and algae?

Yes, naturally, without added biocides. PureSil has an inherent alkalinity of pH ~11 to 12, which creates an environment that actively resists the growth of mould, mildew, and algae on the coated surface. This is a passive mineral property of the paint itself, not a leachable chemical treatment that wears off over time.

Can PureSil be applied over existing painted walls?

Because PureSil requires a chemical silicification bond with a bare mineral substrate, any existing oil-based, acrylic, or peeling latex coating must be completely stripped away first. On previously unpainted or freshly plastered surfaces (concrete, cement plaster, lime plaster, brickwork, natural stone, fly-ash brick, or unpainted stucco), PureSil applies directly. The Relic Coatings technical team provides surface-preparation guidance for every project.

Is PureSil fire-safe?

Yes. PureSil carries an A1 fire classification, the highest reaction-to-fire category. It is completely non-combustible, produces zero flame spread, and emits no toxic smoke when exposed to fire. This makes it well-suited to commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings with strict fire codes.

Does PureSil really absorb carbon from the atmosphere?

Yes. During curing, the wet silicate binder chemically reacts with atmospheric CO2, locking carbon dioxide into the coating itself. A single coat sequesters approximately 3.5 grams of CO2 per square metre. Combined with its 85% upcycled feedstock (rice husk ash and coal fly ash) and 20-year functional life, which eliminates the multi-cycle repaint pattern typical of acrylic systems, PureSil delivers a cradle-to-gate footprint of ~1.2 kg CO2e per kg vs ~3.0 kg CO2e per kg for conventional acrylics.

Who developed PureSil?

PureSil was developed by Dr. Nikhil Dhote, Founder and Chief Technologist at Relic Coatings LLP. Dr. Dhote holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from ACSIR - CSIR - NEERI, Nagpur, with 15+ years of specialisation in inorganic chemistry and industrial mineralogy. He pioneered the conversion of industrial by-products, rice husk ash and coal fly ash, into premium construction materials, and engineered the silicification chemistry, the zero-VOC formulation, and the RHA silicate binder that define PureSil today.

Mineral Silicate Paint in Raipur

India’s next-generation zero-VOC mineral silicate paint — engineered for Raipur’s composite conditions.

For architects, specifiers, and developers in Raipur, the optimal choice for durable and sustainable facades is PureSil mineral silicate paint. As the capital of Chhattisgarh and a rapidly growing Tier-1 city with a population exceeding 1 million, Raipur experiences a Composite climate characterised by high humidity, significant rainfall during monsoons, and intense solar radiation. These environmental factors demand building materials that offer exceptional resilience and long-term performance.

PureSil, India’s next-generation zero-VOC mineral silicate paint, provides a superior coating solution engineered to chemically bond with masonry. This proprietary Silicification Technology ensures a permanent finish that resists the specific climate challenges of Raipur, making it an ideal choice for new constructions and renovation projects across the city’s expanding commercial and residential sectors.

Why Raipur Buildings Need Mineral Silicate Paint

Raipur’s Composite climate, with its pronounced monsoon season and high humidity, presents significant challenges for conventional building coatings. PureSil mineral silicate paint offers high vapour permeability (sd < 0.01 m), effectively preventing moisture entrapment within walls. This breathability is critical for buildings in Raipur, actively preventing common issues such as dampness, blistering, and mould growth that frequently compromise the integrity and appearance of structures coated with film-forming acrylic emulsions in humid conditions.

Beyond moisture management, Raipur’s strong UV radiation can rapidly degrade conventional paints, leading to premature fading and chalking. PureSil utilises UV-stable inorganic mineral pigments, ensuring colour retention for its 20+ year design life. Unlike acrylics that merely form a surface film, PureSil’s unique chemical bonding ensures superior adhesion, eliminating peeling and flaking. This makes PureSil mineral silicate paint a robust and low-maintenance solution for Raipur’s dynamic urban landscape, where durability and aesthetic longevity are paramount.
