KEIM silicate paint

Supplier: Keimfarben GmbH, Germany

Craftsman and natural scientist Adolf Wilhelm Keim was granted the patent for the mineral paints he developed in 1878. For over 140 years, the so-called ‘KEIM Mineral Paints’ are considered synonymous with colour brilliance and unrivaled longevity. And the working principle of their unequaled longevity has always remained the same up to today: the silicate binder water glass forms an inseparable chemical bond with the mineral substrate during the chemical process of so-called silicification. Peeling paint layers, such as those known from synthetic resin paints, are excluded in the case of a mineral-silicate coating.
