In 1878, German chemist ADOLF KEIM invented silicate paint and obtained a patent for potassium silicate mineral paint. Potassium silicate mineral coatings created the history of large-scale application of modern inorganic coatings.  

After the 1950s and 1960s, the rapid development of petroleum derivative paints and latex paints greatly impacted the traditional inorganic paint market with its low price, superior performance and rich colors.

At the end of the 20th century, with the improvement of silicate composite technology, inorganic coatings made breakthroughs in high hardness, high temperature resistance and anti-corrosion. Water-based inorganic coatings for industrial and special occasions show bright prospects.
In the past ten years, environmental protection issues have become increasingly prominent, and the pressure of industrial low-carbonization. With the breakthrough of high-modulus silicate modification and silica sol (nano silica) technology, the proportion of inorganic coatings in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan has risen rapidly.

In recent years, Japan, Europe and the United States have proposed "inorganic coatings" to show the new trend of future coatings.

Shenzhen Simon United Building Materials Co., Ltd., on the basis of absorbing the latest European research results, adopts modern technology to solve the problems of high modulus silicate storage stability, poor film formation and easy gelation Unstability, inorganic-organic hybridization to improve silica sol film formation and other technical problems, successfully launched a benchmark product of safety coatings: Simon A+ inorganic coatings. Simon A+ inorganic coatings are non-combustible, non-polluting and non-mildewy French A+ environmental protection certification, and the inorganic coatings are practiced products.
