KEIM Concrete Systems

Mineral Silicate products from the company founded by the inventor of the fresco preparation and creation process, Adolf Keim, in 1884. Colored mineral silicate paints by KEIM can transform dull and plain concrete and masonry surfaces and stucco. Potassium silicate paints penetrate and permanently combine chemically to the substrate to which they are applied never to blister or peel. The process is called “petrification” and it produces a surface that is vapor permeable, non-combustible, reflective and resistant to fungus, algae and mold.
