During the refurbishment of the former public swimming baths in Bacup, Lancashire, Keim Mineral Paints have been applied to the murals of a children's play area on the site.
The paint system has a long life due to its micro-crystalline structure, which forms a chemical bond with the substrate. Paints are also resistant to acid and alkaline conditions, light fast, environmentally friendly, odourless, mould resistant, non-combustible, solvent and VOC free. They are produced using only natural inorganic materials.
A granital system was used which has opacity and can cover black areas with white paint.
To retain the character of its fa?ade, the Playhouse Theatre in London is being redecorated using Keim Mineral Paints. The company's Granital system was chosen for its longlife durability. This is achieved by the paint forming a chemical microcrystalline bond with the substrate, becoming an integral part of the surface. It allows moisture vapour to pass through while preventing the ingress of rain.
After recognising the need for addressing the fire safety aspect of the redecoration of common access areas in it's housing stock, Wolverhampton Landlord Services has specified Keim Mineral Paints' new MX fire retardant system for usage on its continuing refurbishment programme. The two coat system involves a base coat of the company's Fire Resisting Granital and a finishing coat of MX glaze to upgrade the previously painted surfaces. The product is imcombustible, and does not give off noxious emissions during a fire, while the MX glaze offers wear, grafitti, mould, and algae resistance.
