It also has natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. It is organic, zero VOC, it's also often used in restoration and preservation of historic buildings, as it is able to match the original look and feel of the building while also providing protection against the elements. Casein paint is more durable than traditional oil-based paints.
