Keim Liquid
Mineral Systems are used throughout the world. They have proven
their durability since 1878, when Wilhelm Keim discovered the advantages of using liquid silicate as a binding agent for inorganic
pigments, thus creating mineral coatings. These are the basis of the
KEIM Mineral Coating Systems, whose excellence in building
preservation is unsurpassed.
KEIM Liquid
Mineral Coatings ...
|
penetrate the surface of the substrate. They "silicify" with
the substrate. |
|
because they "silicify" with the substrate they are
incredibly durable. |
|
do not chip or peel. |
|
do not fade because completely inorganic pigments are used. |
|
are water-repellent. |
|
are harmless to the environment - no organic solvents. |
|
are chemically and physically related to all mineral
building materials. Identical thermal movement
characteristics prevent tension and cracking. |
|
have an unrivaled enhanced water vapor permeability. In
other words, KEIM Mineral Coatings breath. |
|
are completely light-fast. All raw materials, color pigments
and stabilizers are completely inorganic. |
|
are economical because they drastically reduce the
maintenance costs of new and restored buildings. |
