KEIM silicate paint and coatings are made of waterglass and inorganic natural mineral pigments, combined using KEIM technology offer unsurpassed beauty and protection that lasts for decades.
KEIM silicate paints naturally compliments the mineral physics of mineral surfaces such as concrete, masonry, stone, CMU block, brick, stucco, renders, magnesium oxide MgO boards, fiber-cement boards, drywall boards and all types of mineral substrates—even previously painted mineral substrates.
Unlike traditional paints or stains, KEIM's Silicate Paints penetrate into the substrate and by chemical reaction creates a covalent bond, forming a microporous breathable coating that is highly vapor permeable yet water resistant. KEIM protects against pollution, acid rain, carbonation, mold and algae without flaking, peeling or blistering. KEIM is resistant to UV light as our mineral colors do not fade and are incombustible producing no smoke or fumes. As a natural mineral coating, KEIM silicate paints contain very low to no VOC’s. KEIM mineral paints and coatings are environmentally friendly, 100% sustainable green products using only premium ingredients from nature.
Although KEIM invented the first potassium silicate mineral paint in 1878, the past 130 years have been full of development and innovation. KEIM continues to lead the industry in silicate mineral technologies with unique renovation renders, plasters, and mortars.
