KEIM MINERAL PAINTS (Stand S454)
The name Keim has long been synonymous with high quality, durable and environ- mentally friendly paint systems. Our materials offer long life decorating solutions combined with sustainability. Keim Mineral Paints are manufactured in a low impact process using only natural materials and they provide excellent surface protection and longevity. When applied to mineral substrates, mineral paints penetrate into the surface creating a microcrystalline structure which provides the durable long life finish. The crystalline structure allows free passage of moisture vapour, virtually eliminating blistering and flaking of paint. Keim Mineral Paints do not contain any harmful ingredients such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), solvents or petrochemicals and have no detrimental effect on either the substrate, environment or air quality. VOCs contained in conventional acrylic paints are released during the drying process and for some time afterwards, the subsequent effect on air quality being the most significant environmental impact currently associated with the use of conventional paints.
Keim Mineral Paints are now pleased to offer a range of high performance photo- catalytic paints which we are showcasing at this year’s Ecobuild exhibition
PHOTOCATALYTIC MINERAL PAINTS USE LIGHT ENERGY TO NEUTRALISE POLLUTION
Keim Mineral Paints are the ideal base for use with photocatalytic additives. Photocatalytic mineral paints enable a chemical reaction which removes pollutants, including harmful Nitrogen Oxides from the air we breathe. Nitrogen Oxides are produced by combustion as emissions from cars, trucks, buses and power plants and contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, fine particle pollution and are linked with a number of adverse effects on the respiratory system. Air quality is a key environmental concern and photocatalytic mineral paints can be one part of the solution.
Keim’s photocatalytic paints can be used both internally and externally, and in addition to being VOC free, they offer an innovative alternative solution to conven- tional acrylic paints, not only by the materials and manufacturing processes used to make the paint itself, but by the positive effect the paints can have on air quality.
Keim Soldalit-ME and Keim Ecosil-ME are Keim’s high performance photocatalytic mineral silicate paints with the MiNox effect. They are able to eliminate various pollutants including pollution by industry and road traffic, for example, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Ammonia gas (NH3) as well as harmful indoor gases, for example out-gassing from furniture or cigarette consumption such as VOCs (Benzene, Toluene), formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. Even bacteria and fungal spores can be significantly reduced by photocatalysis.
Keim Soldalit-ME has been proven in outdoor tests to reduce Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations by up to 50%. When tackling Nitrogen Oxide pollution in the UK, any technique which significantly reduces this type of pollution should be considered to ensure improvement to the natural environment and public health. Whilst photocatalytic mineral paints cannot, on their own, cure the problem, they are a significant step in the right direction, both in terms of air quality and protection of the environment, as well as changing our reliance on conventional, potentially damaging paint materials.
During Ecobuild, Keim Mineral Paints would be pleased to meet and speak to any visitors with an interest in environmentally friendly and photocatalytic paints, and we hope to see you there.
