What is KEBS and why does it matter for paint?

KEBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards) is Kenya's national standards body, responsible for setting and enforcing quality and safety standards for products sold in the country, including limits on toxic substances in paint.

Does Real Coat Paints comply with KEBS standards?

Yes. Our products are formulated with current Kenyan safety and quality standards in mind. Contact us for more detail on a specific product.

Why do heavy metals in paint matter?

Exposure to heavy metals such as lead is linked to respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurodevelopmental harm. This is why KEBS has set maximum permissible limits for these substances in paint sold in Kenya.

Are global colour trends relevant to the Kenyan market?

Yes. International colour forecasts from bodies like Pantone influence the colour ranges local manufacturers and brands stock each year, though local climate and architectural style still shape which trends work best here.

Is the demand for industrial and commercial paint growing in Kenya?

Yes. Ongoing construction and business investment in Nairobi and beyond continues to drive demand for durable commercial and industrial coatings alongside residential decorative paint.
