Mineral silicate paint is a type of paint made from natural minerals and silica, providing a durable, breathable finish that is ideal for both exterior and interior applications.
With 145 years of experience, we are the only supplier of mineral silicate paint in the world, known for our commitment to quality and sustainability in building protection.
DURABLE AND COLOUR STABLE
▼ Lifespan of KEIM Facade Coating: Can last at least 20 years, often twice as long, with some examples lasting over 100 years.
▼ Color Fade Resistance: Facade paint does not fade due to the use of lightfast, inorganic pigments.
EXTREMELY VAPOUR PERMEABLE
▼ Moisture Management: Silicate paints are highly vapor permeable, allowing moisture to escape and preventing damage.
▼ Biological Resistance: Alkaline composition inhibits algae, fungi, and mold growth without biocides.
▼ Dirt Repellency: Silicate coatings resist dirt particle adhesion, ensuring long-term cleanliness.
ECOLOGICAL AND HEALTHY:
▼ Sustainability: KEIM products are environmentally friendly throughout their entire life cycle.
▼ Health Benefits: KEIM interior paints are free from solvents, plasticizers, and preservatives, making them suitable for allergy sufferers and children.
▼ Product Quality: KEIM mineral paints are recognized for their outstanding ecological profile and have been tested and certified by numerous institutes.

Mineral paints form a chemical bond with the substrate through silicification. This process enables the paint to penetrate the substrate, forming an insoluble bond. Allowing walls to breathe while protecting against moisture, UV rays and harsh climatic conditions, making KEIM Paints ideal for heritage and modern buildings alike.
Absolutely! KEIM mineral paints contribute to a healthy, non-toxic room climate, making them suitable for allergy sufferers, providing against sick building syndrome. Furthermore, freshly painted surfaces do not emit any unpleasant odors.
The high alkalinity of KEIM mineral paints effectively inhibits mold growth without the need for toxic biocides or other hazardous chemical substances.
Certainly! KEIM exterior paint systems meet the highest demands when it comes to structural physics, weather resistance, economic feasibility and environmental compatibility. Providing protection against UV radiation and pollutions.
Countless buildings across the globe have proven the truly unique quality of KEIM products for decades. With longevity, often lasting 20 years or more, with some examples exceeding 100 years.
We cater to a wide range of projects including heritage buildings, hospitality industry, food processing facilities such as wineries and any construction project, whether private or commercial, government and public sectors. These projects often face challenging environmental conditions.
KEIM Mineral Paints possess many qualities that are inherent due to their ingredients, composition, and manufacturing process. One such quality that is becoming increasingly significant is its non-combustibility, meaning that it does not support the spread of flame and nor does it give off any noxious emissions.
KEIM Mineral Paints and renders are incombustible due to their organic composition and are therefore ideal for use in safety critical public areas such as underground stations and tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals, hotels as well as residential high-rise buildings.
There is a difference between fire resistant and fire retardant paints:
▼ Fire resistant, such as KEIM do not melt, or drip when exposed to extreme heat; their integral nature prevent the passage of fire from one area to another and they are able to withstand heat or energy for a given period of time.
▼ Fire retardant paint on the other hand is used to slow down the spread or growth of a fire by using materials that are chemically treated to inhibit the flame or form a protective layer.
