3. For more than a century, KEIM’s “waterglass” technology has
represented the perfect marriage of function and beauty. From
landmark and historic restoration to coating of major high-rise
structures, KEIM remains the gold standard throughout the
world.
Coatings that can last for decades
Using a combination of potassium silicate, mineral pigments
and binders, KEIM offers superior bond strength while
maintaining the highest levels of vapor permeability and
color stability. The mural below was created with KEIM
“waterglass” coatings in 1891 and retouched in 1921
and 2006.
