Products & Services	KEIM – PRODUCT WORLD The range of products and services has long extended beyond high-quality mineral paint products: in addition to innovative wood coatings, the product portfolio is completed by mineral plasters and levelling compounds, products for concrete repair and concrete cosmetics, thermal insulation systems for indoors and outdoors and natural stone systems. The idea of sustainability characterises the spirit of the company. In 1993, KEIM launches the world’s first healthy living interior paint and later receives the world’s first natureplus certifications for interior and façade paints. The outstanding ecological profile of the products is mirrored in the resource-saving production and natural raw material base, the product composition without the addition of solvents, preservatives and plasticisers and the extremely long durability of KEIM paints.

Target group	Renovation of historical buildings (churches, castles, listed buildings, …) New construction and renovation of public buildings (schools, kindergartens, hospitals, …), residential buildings (apartment blocks, single-family homes, villas, …), commercial buildings (office buildings, hotels, shops, …), infrastructure (airports, railway stations, bridges, …)
Competitive advantages	KEIM mineral paints have a completely mineral basis, making them eco friendly, breathable and low VOC. The “waterglass” binder is a silicate that forms a chemical bond with mineral substrates such as stone, render and concrete. The result is an extremely durable bond between the substrate and wall paint or facade paint, which is far more resistant than the purely superficial adhesion of conventional paints.
