Extremely Longlife
KEIM mineral silicate paint systems were invented over 140 years ago to provide longterm protective and decorative finishes for renders subject to harsh climatic conditions. There are many examples throughout Europe of buildings that have been decorated over 100 years ago with KEIM mineral paint systems that are still in good condition today.
KEIM Mineral Paint is Different
KEIM has been widely used and specified extensively throughout the UK over the past 20 years for both external and internal projects. KEIM paint comprises of a potassium silicate binder with inorganic mineral fillers and natural earth-oxide colour pigments. The paint penetrates into the mineral substrate to form a chemical crystalline bond, becoming an integral part of the surface. This ensures an extremely longlife protective paint system.
Vapour Permeable Paint
The structure of the paint allows the free passage of vapour out of the substrate whilst preventing the ingress of driven rain providing a breathable, semi-permeable membrane.
Environmentally Friendly Paint
KEIM Mineral Paints are completely colourfast, mould, algae resistant, pollution resistant, low maintenance and environmentally friendly being waterborne, odourless and non-toxic.
Fire Resistant
KEIM Mineral Paints are inherently non-combustible and do not support the spread of flame. They achieve a Class 0 fire performance to BS476 part 6 for fire propagation and part 7 for surface spread of flame.
In addition, KEIM Paints are also rated at the top classification of A2 under the proposed new Euronorms. They give off no discernible noxious emissions and are specified by major Local Authorities, Housing Associations, Department of Transport and London Underground specifically for their fire performance characteristics

KEIM MINERAL PAINTS CASE STUDY: HOLLAND HOUSE, LONDON
KEIM ROYALAN® ON PREVIOUSLY PAINTED STONE
Holland House is a 17th Century, Grade I listed country house in Holland Park, Kensington. It was bombed during the Second World War, destroying all but the ground floor. The east wing has been restored and currently houses a youth hostel. Holland House was one of the first great houses of Kensington and was lived in by Cromwell’s army during the English Civil War.
Nicola Young, Senior Colourist of KEIM Mineral Paints, visited Holland House to trial bespoke coloured samples, a Portland stone and a Bath stone colour were created.
During Nicola’s site visit, there was evidence of stone erosion and salt efflorescence on the west arcade, which was likely a result of moisture ingress. This needed to be identified and rectified prior
to proceeding with KEIM for a successful application of the paint products to ensure their longevity.
Pre-treatment and repairs were carried out and left to dry for a minimum of 15 days prior to the application of KEIM Mineral
Paints.
The west arcade was decorated using KEIM Royalan Grob, diluted with KEIM Royalan Dilution. Followed by a coat of KEIM Royalan (in a bespoke colour) and a final coat of KEIM Restauro Lasur system
(in a bespoke colour) to achieve a stone effect.
The soffits of the west arcade, lower level causeway and east wing were decorated using the KEIM Royalan system. This system was specified to help resist the algae due to the location and tree canopy
surroundings.
Holland House now looks aesthetically pleasing and has returned to its previous glory.
