Mineral and Lime-Based Paint: Why it matters
Mineral and lime paints are good for people, the planet, and are responsibly made
Mineral and lime-based paints have a lower environmental impact because they are derived from natural, non-toxic, and plentiful earthen materials like limestone and silicate. They emit zero VOCs and actively absorb carbon dioxide while curing. They also lack microplastics found in conventional acrylic/latex paints.
Choose mineral and lime-based paints for better health and a lower environmental impact.
Key Environmental Benefits of Mineral-based Paints
― Carbon sequestration: Mineral and lime paints absorb CO2 from the air during the curing process (silicification and carbonation), effectively acting as a carbon sink.
― Natural composition and low emissions: These paints lack petroleum-based ingredients, resulting in almost zero VOCs, which improves air quality.
― Biodegradability: Because the are made from natural mineral products, they do not release toxic waste, making them more environmentally friendly to produce and dispose of.
― Breathable: They are permeable to water vapor, allowing structures to “breathe” and preventing moisture buildup, which reduces risk of mold and mildew.
― Extremely durable: Mineral paints last far longer than traditional acrylic/latex paints and require less repainting, making them more sustainable.
Make the conscious choice to use paints that champion lower environmental impact and superior durability.
Together, we can paint a brighter, more sustainable future!
Reduced Energy in Production: The manufacturing of mineral and lime-based paints requires significantly less energy and raw materials than acrylic/latex (synthetic) paints, resulting in lower carbon emissions.
Responsibly Crafted
At Keim, our commitment to Environmental and Social Governance is at the core of everything we do. We understand the profound impact our decisions have on the world around us, and we are resolute in aligning our actions with our responsibility to both the environment and our communities.

Cradle to Cradle Certification: A global standard for sustainable innovation.
Embrace a world of design and manufacturing that champions safety, circularity, and sustainability. The Cradle to Cradle Certification focuses on the entire lifecycle of products, ensuring they are not just made, but crafted with the future in mind. Let’s pave the way for a healthier planet with responsible choices that redefine what’s possible!
Key Aspects of C2C Certification:
― Circular Economy: Promotes materials that can be perpetually cycled as “technical nutrients” (recyclable) or “biological nutrients” (compostable/biodegradable).
― Material Health: Ensures chemicals used are safe for humans and the environment, avoiding harmful substances.
― Renewable Energy & Climate: Encourages manufacturing with renewable energy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
― Water Stewardship: Focuses on protecting water as a finite resource.
― Social Fairness: Assesses fair labor practices and positive social impacts in the supply chain.
Level of Achievement: Gold in Material Health and Silver
Continuous Improvement: Requires regular recertification (every three years under the latest standard) with demonstrated improvement.
Why It Matters:
C2C certification guides companies and designers in creating products that are regenerative, not just less harmful, contributing to a healthier planet and society.

Mineral and Lime-Based Paint: Why it matters
Keim Mineral Paints: Craftsmanship meets Environmental Responsibility
At Keim, we take immense pride in our heritage as the pioneers of mineral paints, a legacy we’ve maintained since 1878. Our journey of innovation began with the introduction of a single-component potassium silicate paint in the 1960s, and we reached new heights with the revolutionary sol silicate technology in the early 2000s. Our unwavering commitment is to deliver the finest mineral-based building materials in the world.
Our dedication goes beyond exceptional product quality; it extends to our planet. We understand the importance of minimizing our environmental footprint, which is why we focus on sustainable sourcing, responsible production methods, and eco-conscious distribution practices. Our mineral-based products inherently possess favorable ecological properties, aligning with our mission of sustainability.
When you select Keim’s handcrafted mineral paints, you’re choosing durability and beauty while supporting eco-friendly practices over mass-produced, petroleum-based alternatives.
Efficient production but never mass-produced. Together we can paint a brighter, more sustainable future!
― Efficient Production that Respects Our Environment- We use limited, high-quality earthen raw materials, which require minimal processing and have a low environmental impact.
― Conventional acrylic paints are produced from non-renewable petroleum resources, requiring significant energy for refinement.
― A key advantage of our production is that all Keim facilities operate using renewable solar energy, with water being reused infinitely in a closed-loop system—never discharged into our communities.
― We employ age-old techniques to craft stunningly beautiful mineral finishes that stand the test of time.
Our super-efficient robotic processing in packaging and warehousing minimizes our environmental footprint.
― Unlike acrylic paints, which contribute to microplastic pollution when brushes are washed, our mineral paints are harmless to water systems.
Make the conscious choice to use paints that promote lower environmental impact and greater durability. Together, we can paint a brighter, more sustainable future!
Responsibly Crafted: We understand the profound impact our decisions have on the world around us, and we are resolute in aligning our actions with our responsibility to both the environment and our communities.
Eco-Friendly and Health-Conscious Choices
- Our mineral paints shine in their commitment to sustainability, standing apart from acrylic polymer paints that rely heavily on petrochemicals. By avoiding non-renewable fossil fuels, we safeguard our planet while minimizing potential health hazards.
- Unlike acrylic paints, which are primarily liquid plastic and not biodegradable, our mineral paints prioritize ecological integrity. When acrylic paint washes away, it can release harmful microplastics into our waterways. In contrast, our mineral paints help keep waterways cleaner and support healthier ecosystems.
- We take pride in our formulations that are free from toxic additives. While the production of acrylic paints often involves hazardous chemicals such as formaldehyde, styrene, ammonia, benzene, and phthalates, our mineral paints use pure, safe ingredients. This commitment not only protects our environment but also promotes long-term health for all users.
As a dedicated part of the global community, we are unwavering in our mission to enhance human health through our innovative products and responsible corporate practices.

Renewable Energy
Breathing Better Air
We spend 90% of our time indoors, and indoor air can be as much as 5 times more unhealthy than outdoor air. The materials we choose for our homes and buildings should be free of hazardous chemicals, especially those used for our painted walls, as we are exposed to them daily. Mineral paints are the purest, cleanest, and healthiest options, and they help improve our indoor air quality by promoting a balanced indoor climate. Maintaining the right balance of temperature, humidity, and freedom from emissions is crucial for better indoor air.
Certified Pure and Healthy Materials
KEIM has been developing paints to promote healthy living for decades. As early as 1983, our first healthy paint launch led the way as the first paint producer to receive a Natureplus certificate. Today, 85% of our paints and stains are certified Gold for Material Health by the Cradle to Cradle Products Institute®. No other paint company can make this claim.
Healthy Products
Our commitment to social responsibility drives us to provide building materials that not only ensure the safety of those who use them but also offer lasting durability. We believe in the power of creating a healthier environment, one product at a time.
