SOL SILICATE TECHNOLOGY A REVOLUTION IN MINERAL PAINT TECHNOLOGY
Keim’s Metallic Mineral Finishes are based on sol-silicate binder technology, invented by Keim. This innovation yields our longest lasting and easiest to apply mineral paints and stains. Delivering far more longevity and permanent color than ordinary acrylic or elastomeric finishes, sol-silicate finishes balance durability with perfect structural physics. Using only inorganic, mineral pigments, Metallic Mineral Finishes are particularly intense and color-fast to deliver decades of perfect color and protection. Metallic colors keep their original brilliance without fading or tarnishing, no matter how intense the exposure. Ideally suited to the toughest climates, coastal or alpine, Keim delivers incomparable performance and durability. Metallic Mineral Finishes are enhanced by the natural beauty that only mineral paints can deliver. The purest metallic colors in a matte finish that never glares or looks “plastic”. These metallic finishes appear more natural and never look “painted -- on”. Our color-fast technology starts with the highest quality pure mineral mica pigments and mineral fillers combined with the natural U.V. resistance of sol-silicate mineral binders. Expertly blended by Keim’s color technicians we offer a wide array of brilliant metallic finishes for dazzling results.

SUSTAINABLE METALLIC FINISHES
And, mineral paints are easy on the environment too. Only earthen and natural materials are used with no added harsh chemicals or preservatives. And mineral paints and stains contain less than 1gram/liter of VOC’s. And our sustainability is certified by third party lab testing. SAFE AND EASY Mineral Metallic finishes area easy to apply without the need for specialized equipment or experience. All are water base and contain no harsh chemicals or allergens, for the safety and health of applicators. Like any ready-to-use paint, application is by brush, roller or airless spray. No added labor costs for these beautiful and head-turning finishes.
Premium metallic paints, with all the performance benefits and added value of mineral silicate technology, now available in a dazzling array of metallic colors and design effects. Far more economical than metal cladding, these metallic finishes deliver great value combined with stunning aesthetics. And Keim Mineral Metallic Finishes are extremely sustainable in both manufacturing and use. Keim mineral paints utilize plentiful earthen raw materials that are minimally processed requiring less energy than traditional paints in the manufacturing process. Our plants are operated with alternative energy and all water is completely recycled and reused. And with durability measured in decades, not years like ordinary paints, Keim mineral finishes are the epitome of sustainability. Longer lasting materials require far less replacement over the lifespan of the building.

EXPERTLY CRAFTED DELIVERING THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST QUALITY
PERMANENT BONDS WITH THE SURFACE KEIM invented the sol-silicate binder that penetrates and forms insoluble bonds within masonry surfaces as well as having permanent adhesion to latex and acrylic previously painted surfaces. Metallic Mineral finishes are the ideal high-end masonry façade solution. MINERAL PAINTS ARE VERY VAPOR PERMEABLE Mineral finishes are extremely vapor permeable, at a minimum of 77perms, to allow moisture vapor, that can accumulate in the building envelope, to freely escape without damaging the finish. Mineral finishes will never blister or peel even in high moisture environments. NATURALLY U.V. RESISTANT AND STABLE Ordinary acrylic and latex paints lose their elasticity over time when exposed to U.V. and weathering. Artificial sun-screens must be added to these paints to slow- down this aging process. Keim’s sol- silicate mineral binders are inert like stone and absolutely U.V. stable. These finishes do not degrade, even with the harshest exposure. Metallic Mineral Finishes will last for decades, not years, and never lose their brilliance.
German engineering and technology are combined with hand crafted precision in the U.S., these metallic finishes are no ordinary or mass-produced paint. Select raw materials are combined using exacting processes honed over 135 years. Technical diligence only begins to explain our relentless commitment to technological and manufacturing excellence as demonstrated by our ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. MINERALS LAST FOR GENERATIONS The oldest buildings of mankind are made of stone because minerals are stable and very weather resistant. No wonder mineral paints from KEIM are so long lasting. No spalling, flaking or peeling from moisture or freeze thaw. Mineral silicate finishes age gracefully for decades, lasting many times longer than acrylic or latex paints.

METALLIC FINISHES PROTECTION AND DAZZLING BEAUTY
COLOR WITH MOVEMENT Mineral metallic finishes appear to morph with changes in ambient light sources. Sparkling mica pigment, from the earth, is a foil for the rich metallic colors which only use mineral oxide pigments to ensure ultimate U.V. stability. Combining the unique mineral mica pigments with the crystal-clear mineral binder of mineral paints allows for a most expressive metallic appearance. The glint of rare metals is perfectly paired with a pure crystalline matrix surface — metallic pigments are left to shine naturally and never muted. Ordinary acrylic paints can mute the natural beauty of metallic pigments by their milky nature.
Mineral metallic finishes can add excitement or elegance to your next project. The iridescent colors change throughout the day as sunlight traces across the facade. Subtle and striking in low light, these metallic finishes absolutely “gleam” in sunlight. But the mineral matte finish never creates a blinding glare, rather it radiates the sunlight across the metallic surface for a glowing appearance. Metallic Mineral Finishes provide a depth of color and metallic luster ideal for high- end projects, both indoors and on exterior facades.
