Foundation
The brand has its origins in "Caparol" – the aqueous emulsion binder developed by Dr. Robert Murjahn in 1928 and with the help of which painters were able to make up the required paint themselves using pigments and filling materials. The brand name is derived from the first letters of the three constituents casein, paraffin and oleum.
