k e i m – p a r t n e

k e i m – p a r t n e r for the housing industr y 11 CLEAN Silicate paints by KEIM stay clean in the long term. The combination of inorganic pigments and mineral binders results in coating solutions that combine durability with long-term cleanness. In contrast to paints with conventional organic binders (e.g. dispersion or silicone resin paints), silicate coatings are antistatic and non-thermoplastic. This makes it hard for dirt particles to adhere to the surface, for facades that stay clean and beautiful for a long time! SAFE Not even the flame of a welding torch makes KEIM silicate paints ignite. In the case of a fire, this means maximum safety and no toxic fumes, as confirmed by fire tests in Germany and the United Kingdom. Just one reason why only silicate paints are used in many public areas such as underground stations and tunnels, schools or cinemas: nothing can replace health and safety. PURELY MINERAL What counts are the „inner values“ of a paint, in other words, the composition of binder, pigments, fillers and additives. KEIM paints have a completely mineral basis. The natural binder potassium silicate forms a chemical bond with mineral substrates such as stone, render and concrete. The result is an extremely durable bond which is far more resistant than the purely superficial adhesion of usual dispersion paints. Mineral pigments are obtained from minerals, they are extremely colour-stable and don‘t fade. As a rule, fillers consist of rock flour and give the paint the layer thickness that is necessary to protect the facade from weathering. COLOUR-STABLE Recognising that nothing lasts forever, even colour shades change as a result of soiling, harmful substances and also, naturally, the UV portion in sunlight. Silicate paints by KEIM offer security in this respect: they contain only lightfast, inorganic pigments and mineral binders such as potassium silicate or sol-silicate. Potassium silicate is not just of natural origin but also extremely weatherproof.
