Extremely Longlife
Keim mineral silicate paint systems were invented over 125 years ago to provide longterm protective and decorative finishes for renders subject to harsh climatic conditions. There are many examples throughout Europe of buildings that have been decorated over 100 years ago with Keim mineral paint systems that are still in good condition today.

Keim Mineral Paint is Different
Keim has been widely used and specified extensively throughout the UK over the past 20 years for both external and internal projects. They comprise a potassium silicate binder with inorganic mineral fillers and natural earth-oxide colour pigments. The paint penetrates into the mineral substrate to form a chemical crystalline bond, becoming an integral part of the surface. This ensures an extremely longlife protective paint system.

Vapour Permeable Paint
The structure of the paint allows the free passage of vapour out of the substrate whilst preventing the ingress of driven rain providing a breathable, semi-permeable membrane.

Environmentally Friendly Paint
Keim Mineral Paints are completely colourfast, mould and algae resistant, pollution resistant, low maintenance and environmentally friendly being waterborne, odourless and non-toxic.

Fire Resistant
Keim Mineral Paints are inherently non-combustible and do not support the spread of flame. They achieve a Class 0 fire performance to BS476 part 6 for fire propagation and part 7 for surface spread of flame. In addition they are also rated at the top classification of A2 under the proposed new Euronorms. They give off no discernible noxious emissions and are specified by major Local Authorities, Housing Associations, Department of Transport and London Underground specifically for their fire performance characteristics

Comprehensive Ranges
In addition to traditional decorative work, Keim is also a market leader in the fields of concrete treatment, fire retardant coatings and stone restoration materials. To complement this generic family of mineral silicate paint systems Keim also offers a comprehensive range of ancillary products from pretreatments through to renders.
