Good morning everyone,
We are currently deciding on interior paint colors and have received conflicting information about silicate paint. Our substrate consists of gypsum fiberboards on the walls and drywall on the ceilings, with cellulose painter’s fleece applied on top. It is a vapor-permeable construction, so dispersion paint is not an option. We originally planned to use a high-quality silicate paint, but I was told that this wouldn’t work because the chemical bonding can’t occur, meaning the paint cannot mineralize properly. However, our house painter said it would still work.
I’ve now contacted three manufacturers about this issue and received different answers:
One suggested I check the technical data sheets for their products.
Another recommended using their natural paint combined with a primer, as this definitely adheres to the painter’s fleece.
The third company, the yellow one with three black letters, said I can use any of their silicate paints without problems, as all of them adhere to cellulose painter’s fleece. They acknowledged that no mineralization would occur, but explained that the synthetic resin modification prevents any issues.
So, what’s the real situation?

Is that even possible, or is it just a marketing gimmick?
