Incorporating nature into daily life not only makes living easier but also ensures a harmonious balance between progress and preservation.

RAWMAX wondered

Why is water already in a can of paint? (around 60% of the content of a can of paint)

Why can’t water be added at the moment of actually painting?
What to do with the semi-full paint cans and cans with paint residues stored in our garages?


In the course of two years a formula was developed from powders, with the addition of water, becomes a quality paint for walls. Quality that is reflected on the wall and does not have to prove itself in a paint can. RAW Paints has developed various formulas for all types of walls, inside and outside and various applications, such as cellars.

RAWMAX' hands-on testing methods

RAWMAX ensures the highest quality of its mineral paint powders through own testing and research.
The process begins with material testing to evaluate color compatibility and surface adhesion. Durability tests, including pressure washing and abrasion resistance, assess the product's strength.
Moisture resistance is verified through immersion tests, ensuring longevity in wet conditions.
Finally, outdoor testing evaluates performance under real-world environmental factors like UV exposure and rain.
This hands-on approach helps RAWMAX about products real-life durability for its various indoor and outdoor applications.



RAWMAX as a gamechanger in the industry


RAWMAX developed a mineral paint powder, made from mineral raw materials.


  • the paint powder does not contain solvents
  • the paint powder once created with liquid in two component system allows for the substrate to be absorbed (if minerals/stones are untreated) and therefore does not peel off
  • the paint ensures adhesion to walls that suffer from a high moisture percentage in the stone
  • adding PLUS to a novel paint powder at the point of use offers a practical and sustainable solution to these challenges
  • powder represents a promising alternative to current water-borne options and can help manufacturers meet emissions goals.

RAWMAXs way of working is easy:

We test to learn. So all new surfaces, territories and environments are being tested by us by supplying the potential customer with test material, with our guidance and actual presence if possible.

Actual testing in the applied territory gives insides which testing or simulation machines are not able to give you. Nature gives us the answers...
With mutual consent between supplier, applicator and client, this new way of selling our product will be accepted so trust and confidence becomes key instead of just only pricing.

At RAWMAX, we prioritize real-life testing to ensure our products perform under actual conditions. Here's one of our showcases:

BEFORE

  • Top Surface: Coated in 2018 with RAWMAX.
  • Bottom Surface: Coated in 2018 with AKZO.

AFTER

  • Status Update (December 2023): The RAWMAX coating remains intact, while the AKZO coating shows signs of flaking.


THE PROBLEM

Flaking paint occurs when moisture in the substrate prevents proper adhesion, leading to weak and deteriorating coatings over time.

THE SOLUTION

RAWMAX has developed innovative products designed to adhere to moist substrates. Our advanced two-component system creates a durable, high-performing paint when mixed. This unique formulation allows the paint to penetrate the substrate, where it hardens into a resilient coating that resists flaking..

We cannot make it more logical!
