Born Sustainable, Built for Generations: The KEIM Legacy
Long before "sustainability" became a corporate buzzword, KEIM was already living it. In 1878, A.W. Keim revolutionized the world with mineral silicate paints—creating a finish made from the earth, for the earth.
Today, our commitment to the planet isn't a new initiative; it is our entire identity. We don't just protect buildings; we protect the environment.
Why True Mineral Paints Are Inherently Green
Unlike conventional petrochemical paints, KEIM mineral coatings are fundamentally different:
• Earth-Born Ingredients: Formulated using liquid potassium silicate and natural earth pigments. Zero plastics, zero solvents, and zero emissions (Cradle to Cradle Certified®).
• Unmatched Longevity: KEIM coatings chemically bond into the substrate rather than just sitting on top. They don’t peel or flake, lasting for decades and dramatically reducing life-cycle resource consumption.
• Healthy Spaces: High breathability (v***r permeability) means our coatings prevent mold naturally, creating healthier indoor air quality without toxic biocides.
For nearly a century and a half, we’ve proven that the most durable protection for our architecture doesn't have to come at the expense of our planet. We are proud to keep painting a healthier, greener future—one mineral bond at a time.
