Keim® Ecosil

Keim® Ecosil is an easy to use internal paint for walls & ceilings. Providing a dense opaque matt finish in a wide range of pastel shades, it is suitable for both unpainted and painted substrates including dry lining and anaglyptas. It is a water-borne silicate based paint that uses inorganic fillers and pigments.

Economical
Keim® Ecosil is generally applied as a 2 coat system, and eliminates the need for a mist coat. According to an independent cost survey Keim® Ecosil is equivalent in cost to an applied vinyl silk emulsion system.

Fire Resistant
Keim® Ecosil is inherently non-combustible achieving Class O rating -
the highest possible product performance classification (fire test
reports available on request). This meets building regulations which
stipulate that "internal linings (walls, ceilings or other internal
structure) shall resist the spread of flame over the surface" - part B
Schedule 1 1991.

Environmentally Safe
Keim® Ecosil is waterborne, odourless and non-toxic. It is solvent
free with constituents (potassium silicate, mineral fillers and earth
oxide pigments) which are inorganic and fully compatible with
todays mineral building materials. Keim®'s production process are
low energy consumers and produce no noxious emissions. In use
Ecosil is harmless to the decorator and there are no slow release
emissions in service.

Anti Condensation and Breathable
Keim® Ecosil forms a micro-crystalline structure with the substate
to which it is applied, thereby allowing for the free passage of
vapour whilst preventing the ingress of moisture. Steam does not
condense on the surface, being held in the substrate and slowly
given back to the atmosphere. Ecosil is an anticondensation coating
that does not impair teh vapour permeability of the substrate.

Mould and Algae Resistant
The inherent alkaline nature of Keim® Ecosil prevents the growth of
fungi and algae spores on the paint surface. This feature combined
with Ecosil's anticondensation characteristics ensures a clean,
healthy surface.

Attractive & Easy to Apply
The flat, matt, opaque finish of Keim® Ecosil is available in over 150 standard shades with specials being readily available at no price
premium. Special effect techniques such as ragging, dragging and
washing are easily achieved using Ecosil - and Keim® specialists are
available to provide advice. Keim® Ecosil is formulated for use 'straight from the can', avoiding on site misuse and be applied by all
conventional painting techniques - including brush, roller and spray.
