Water-based artificial stone paint is the preferred choice for exterior walls in Southeast

Asian countries due to its excellent weather resistance, anti-fading, waterproof, and mildew-resistant properties, which are well-suited to the region’s year-round high temperature, high humidity, and intense ultraviolet conditions. Brands such as BoLiMei use water-based silicone-acrylic emulsions combined with UV-resistant additives, achieving over 95% color retention after five years of exposure, while also meeting strict VOC emission standards in countries like Indonesia and Singapore. This type of paint also offers low-carbon benefits, reducing carbon emissions by 80% compared to natural stone, aligning with the regional trend toward green building development.
