At AAA Conclave 2026, hosted by the Association of Architects Assam at Courtyard by Marriott, Shillong from April 3 to 5, Zydex Paints highlighted breathable surfaces as an essential element in advancing sustainable and responsible construction practices. The conclave brought together architects, designers, and industry stakeholders to discuss regionalism in architecture and climate-responsive building approaches across the Northeast.

Against the backdrop of growing environmental concerns and performance challenges in humid climates, Zydex Paints presented its silicate mineral paint technology as a practical solution to one of the construction sector’s most persistent issues: trapped moisture within walls. Unlike conventional acrylic coatings that tend to seal surfaces, Zydex’s mineral paints are designed to allow water vapour to escape while resisting liquid water ingress, helping keep structures dry, durable, and healthier over time.

This approach is particularly relevant for high-humidity regions such as Northeast India, where moisture-related deterioration, fungal growth, and reduced coating life are common building concerns. By addressing moisture at its source, breathable surfaces support longer building life, lower maintenance cycles, and more climate-aligned construction outcomes.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Amrendra Mishra, Chief Operating Officer, Zydex Industries, emphasized the need for a fundamental shift in how buildings are protected and preserved. “The future of construction is not about sealing buildings tighter; it is about enabling them to breathe. We are manufacturing paints that breathe to protect, preserve, and become a part of structures for decades.”

The discussions at AAA Conclave 2026 reflected a broader industry movement toward materials and systems that perform in harmony with climate, context, and long-term sustainability goals. In this evolving construction narrative, breathable mineral surfaces are emerging not just as a product innovation, but as a strategic foundation for resilient and responsible architecture.

With its focus on high-performance silicate mineral coatings, Zydex Paints continues to champion solutions that combine durability, breathability, and sustainability for the buildings of the future.
