Zydex and Keimfarben Revolutionize Paints with 20-Year Warranty
Zydex, an Indian company, has teamed up with Keimfarben, a German company, to bring a new kind of paint to India.
This paint is special because it lasts a very long time—up to 20 years—without fading or peeling.
It's made with a special mineral technology that makes it strong and durable.
This paint is not just for looks; it also protects buildings from damage, which can save a lot of money on maintenance.
The companies are focusing on high-end buildings like luxury apartments, hospitals, and universities.
They believe this new paint can create a big new market in India, worth billions of rupees.
The paint is made mostly in India, combining German technology with local expertise.
This partnership aims to set a new standard for building protection that is long-lasting and good for the environment.
Zydex and Keimfarben have partnered to introduce silicate mineral paints with a 20-year warranty against color fading and film failure.
The paints chemically bond with surfaces, creating a breathable facade that lasts longer and reduces the need for frequent repainting.
The partnership aims to create a Rs 1,500–2,000 crore category by focusing on long-term performance and lifecycle value.
The paints are made with over 95% localization, combining German technology with Indian manufacturing.
The companies are targeting high-rises, hospitals, universities, commercial assets, and premium residential projects in India.
