Zydex Paints showcased its innovative approach to sustainable construction at the AAA Conclave 2026, emphasizing the role of breathable surfaces in enhancing building durability and environmental performance. The conclave, hosted by the Association of Architects Assam at Courtyard by Marriott, Shillong from April 3 to 5, brought together architects, designers, and industry stakeholders to explore climate-responsive and regionally appropriate construction practices.
Addressing challenges unique to high-humidity regions such as Northeast India, Zydex Paints presented its silicate mineral paint technology as a practical solution to moisture-related issues in buildings. Traditional acrylic coatings often trap moisture within walls, leading to structural deterioration, fungal growth, and reduced lifespan of finishes. In contrast, Zydex’s breathable coatings allow water vapour to escape while preventing liquid water ingress, helping maintain dry, durable, and healthier structures over time.
This approach is particularly relevant in regions with persistent humidity, where moisture management is critical to ensuring long-term building performance. By addressing the root cause of moisture retention, breathable surfaces contribute to extended building life, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved indoor environments.
Speaking at the event, Amrendra Mishra, Chief Operating Officer at Zydex Industries, highlighted the need for a paradigm shift in construction practices. He noted that the future of building protection lies not in sealing structures but in enabling them to regulate moisture naturally, thereby enhancing longevity and sustainability.
Discussions at the conclave reflected a broader industry movement toward materials and systems that align with local climate conditions and sustainability goals. Architects and industry experts emphasized the importance of integrating performance-driven materials into design strategies to create resilient and environmentally responsible structures.
Zydex Paints’ focus on high-performance silicate mineral coatings positions the company at the forefront of this evolving narrative. By combining durability, breathability, and environmental compatibility, the company aims to support the development of buildings that are better suited to their surroundings and capable of delivering long-term value. Through its participation in AAA Conclave 2026, Zydex Paints reinforced its commitment to advancing sustainable construction practices and contributing to a more resilient built environment in India.
