MINERAL-ART™ MURAL PAINTS 

LONG-LASTING,
PERMANENT COLOR,
PAINTS AND STAIN/GLAZES.

Mineral silicate paints outlast latex and acrylic paints.
By decades.

Artists have been choosing Keim for over 140 years to decorate some of the most important historic masonry in the world. You, too, can select mineral silicate paints renowned for their durability and longevity. These paints penetrate and form permanent bonds with concrete and masonry, and the finishes are extremely vapor permeable, which makes them ideal for painting such surfaces. The earthen mineral colors used in these paints are inert and defy UV, meaning they do not fade or change colors over time.

MINERAL PAINT RADIATES LIGHT

An overlooked aspect of mineral paints is their unique interaction with sunlight. The rich, radiant mineral colors and the microporous crystalline surface are dazzling in the morning light and take on a soft glow in the evening.

Here, Soldalit sol silicate exterior paint’s monochrome-tone colors can be seen in photographs taken in the morning at left and near sunset at right. The subject is a mural in Buffalo, NY, called “Golden Hour,” inspired by the colors in the hour before the sun sets.
