Silicate color coating for wood outdoors - https://www.keim.ch With KEIM Lignosil®, KEIMFARBEN presents a wood coating system that impresses with its previously unattainable cost-effectiveness and beautiful appearance. The unique, innovative properties of the KEIM Lignosil system are documented by the granting of a European patent for the system and the products. KEIM Lignosil®-Color was also awarded the Innovation Prize at the Oekfoire 2016 environmental trade fair. Excellent moisture protection Particularly low diffusion resistance UV-stable and absolutely lightfast Extremely weather-resistant Unmatched durability Stable, velvety matt appearance Easy to renovate Particularly economical ---------- 0:04 The breakdown of lignin caused by UV radiation gives untreated wood a naturally shiny silver surface. However, more uniform and colorful wood surfaces are often required in modern architecture - and with this a reliable, environmentally friendly colorant. This is intended to underline the special aesthetics of wood, expand its design potential and protect wooden architecture in an ecological way over the long term. 0:43 But how can wood be protected and designed sustainably without affecting the natural character and the building physics of the natural building material? How can moisture in the background and flaking be avoided, and how can color fading and chalking be prevented? 1:02 "Trees: surrounded by stones - protected, held, nourished by minerals. They have belonged together for millions of years: wood and stone. With KEIM Lignosil also on the building facade." 1:17 Just like trees, minerals have always served us humans. The silicate technology developed by Adolf Wilhelm Keim in 1878 and continuously expanded since then is based on this prehistoric experience - the technology that turns stone into color and color back into stone. 1:41 In over 20 years of development work, KEIM has succeeded in transferring the "successful model of silicate paint" to the wood substrate. 1:55 The first Keim Lignosil reference objects have been around for around two decades. They impress with their visually and structurally intact surfaces, absolute UV resistance, decades of color stability, maximum weather resistance, mineral mattness, unmatched durability and easy, even partial, renovation 2:23 Lignosil as pre-graying, Lignosil as a composite system. Lignosil as whitewash. 2:31 This is KEIM's answer to the need to design and protect wooden facades with natural minerals. 2:43 Spontaneously and directly, like a light garment, Lignosil as whitewash wraps around the rough-sawn wood. With its inorganic pigments, Lignosil effectively protects against UV radiation. The gently mineralized wood surface has an incredible depth effect and testifies to the crystalline glow of Keim's mineral paints. Optionally combined with a special water-protective primer, Lignosil achieves an unmatched durability on wood. 3:19 "A sprout grows into a tree when it is nourished and strengthened by minerals. A wooden facade lasts long when it is protected and designed with minerals." We use healthy wood grown on minerals to build houses. This is why prudent architects, craftsmen and industrial coating companies protect and design facade wood to be processed with minerals. Based on stones - with KEIM Lignosil. 3:52 Since time immemorial, minerals have been an important prerequisite for beautiful and long-lasting wood. With KEIM Lignosil, this now also applies to facade wood mineralized with paint. This ages gracefully and lasts for generations. 4:10 Keim. Since 1878.
