01Indoor silicate paint from Caparol – breathable, mineral-based and durable

Are you looking for breathable wall paint with a long lifespan and a healthy indoor climate? Then Caparol's indoor silicate paint is the ideal choice. This type of paint is based on potassium silicate (water glass) and chemically bonds with mineral substrates such as plaster, concrete and masonry – rather than simply forming a film on top.
The result is a breathable, robust and natural surface that can last for many years without flaking or discolouring.

02What is silicate paint?

Silicate paint is a mineral-based paint where the binder reacts with the substrate through a process called silicification. This creates very strong adhesion and a completely matt, mineral finish. The paint allows moisture to pass through the wall, which prevents moisture build-up and contributes to a healthier indoor climate.

Caparol's range of indoor silicate paints combines classic German quality with modern technology. The paint contains no solvents and has low VOC emissions, making it suitable for both homes, schools, offices and institutions.

03Benefits of Caparol silicate paint
  • Breathable and moisture-regulating – ideal for plaster, concrete and masonry

  • Healthier indoor climate – solvent-free and low-odour

  • Matt mineral finish – gives an exclusive, calm appearance

  • High colour stability – does not fade over time

  • Long durability – chemically bonds to the wall and does not flake

04Applications

Caparol's indoor silicate paint is used especially in:

  • Homes and flats with plastered walls

  • Historic or listed buildings, where breathability is important

  • Basements and rooms with slight moisture exposure

  • Public spaces where low emission and long lifespan are required

Tip: Silicate paint is not suitable for gypsum, wood or previously painted surfaces with acrylic or plastic paint. A traditional wall paint is recommended instead.

05Preparation and application

For the best result, you should use a Caparol silicate primer before the first coat of paint. This ensures even suction and optimal adhesion.

  1. Ensure the wall is clean, dry and sound.

  2. Apply silicate primer and allow it to dry.

  3. Stir the paint thoroughly and apply 1–2 coats with a brush or roller.

  4. Work wet-on-wet to avoid visible overlaps.

With correct preparation, you'll achieve a beautiful, mineral finish that lasts for years.
