Mineral Paints
Applying a breathable mineral paint on top of a conventional paint finish will avoid any further restriction in breathability that would occur with conventional paints. Breathability is not the only advantage of mineral paints, the additional advantages are outlined below:
- Durability and long term performance (over existing sound coatings)
- No emissions, solvents, plasticisers
- Colourfast and UV-stable
- Resistant to mould and fungal growth
- Resistant to weathering
- UV protection for the underlying paint coatings

KEIM Mineral paints are classed as Low VOC. Where reference is made to a low VOC content or to content less than 1g/l, this is due to the REACH classification system used. The classification can be either low, medium or high, however those products that fall below the ‘low’ levels still have to be classed as low or in some cases, very low. There are also the practicalities in measuring small/miniscule VOC content as manufacturing process’ which employ plastics, for example UPVC pipes and polypropylene buckets will invariably have a very small acrylic content, which can lead to a false VOC measurement.
All KEIM Paints comply with current regulations about VOCs in paints (regulation 2005 phase II).
