The invention concerns a silicate coating, comprising at least one basic silicate, at least one filler and/or pigment, at least one water-soluble carbohydrate, water in order to produce a liquid or pasty consistency, optionally at least one organic binder, and optional conventional additives.

Nanocomposite blends include metal oxide nanoparticles and at least two (meth)acrylic acid polymers where the nanoparticles are surface modified with a carboxylic acid silane and where the (meth)acrylic acid polymers are at least partially neutralized. The compositions are transparent, with high transmission and low haze up to very high nanoparticle loading. The compositions also exhibit improved mechanical properties of impact resistance and tensile modulus.

The present disclosure provides a paint composition, and methods of making and using the same, wherein the composition includes metal silicate particles, a binder, pigment particles, and a solvent. A benefit of the paint composition can be that it captures carbon dioxide from the air and excludes toxic or non-naturally occurring ingredients.
