Vedic Paint Factory Setup — Natural Herbal Wall Paint

Vedic Paint is a premium eco wall paint combining processed cow dung base with certified ayurvedic herb extracts (neem, turmeric, tulsi). Zero synthetic VOC, laboratory-certified anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, completely biodegradable. Unlike regular emulsion (synthetic acrylic binder plus TiO2), Vedic Paint uses only natural raw materials. Retail price Rs.200-400/litre vs Rs.80-200/litre for economy emulsion.

This covers complete machine set (cow dung processing unit, herb extraction unit, SS agitator mixing tank, colour dispersion unit, filling machine), IPCS herbal formula with complete batch SOP and on-site process training. Raw material for the first production month is additional.

Raw material cost: Rs.50-80 per litre. Retail selling price: Rs.200-400 per litre. Gross margin: 50-80 percent. This is the highest gross margin of any paint manufacturing segment.

IPCS guides KVIC supplier registration, PMEGP documentation and scheme applications alongside technical factory setup.

IPCS-formulated Vedic Paint achieves 12-18 months shelf life in sealed HDPE or tin containers. Shelf life depends on: correct natural biocide dosage; airtight packaging seal; storage below 40 degrees C in dry and shaded conditions. IPCS uses food-grade natural preservative in the formula, safe for homes with children and elderly.

Raw cow dung is first sieved through a vibratory screen to remove fibres and coarse particles. It is then treated with a natural lime and mineral salt solution, eliminating odour completely within 2-4 hours. Processed dung is fully odour-free with controlled moisture (20-25 percent) and ready for paint formulation. Odour elimination is the most critical step for consumer acceptance.
