KEIM ATHENIT system

The perfect synthesis between tradition and modernity

Lime products for interiors

The raw material lime in its original form is the basis for the products of the KEIM Athenit system. The KEIM Athenit product system was specially developed for the renovation of historic building structures in interior areas. It combines traditional recipe components from the past with the latest scientific findings and state-of-the-art production technology. The result: โ€˜genuineโ€™ lime products without any synthetic binder additives - ideally suited to solving a wide range of refurbishment problems in a technically and visually convincing way. Thanks to the special appearance of Athenit lime products in combination with the physical advantages, the Athenit system also offers outstanding application possibilities in modern residential and administrative buildings.

Based on a perfect combination of high-quality lime putty and finely dosed natural substances (carbohydrates), KEIM Athenit has a specific crystal structure with a particularly high binding capacity and low surface tension. Scanning electron microscope images provide impressive proof of this (4200x magnification). Athenit products can therefore also be used on difficult substrates and also enable coatings with fascinating colours.
