Description

K Lime Mineral Paint is a highly breathable, naturally durable and environmentally friendly paint that provides an attractive, matt, coloured finish for exterior and interior use. It is based on natural silicate binders which protect and add colour to a range of mineral substrates. The mineral binders chemically attach to the underlying surface to create a long-lasting finish that promotes both a healthy building and healthy living.


K Lime Mineral Paint works in harmony with heritage buildings and lime-based mortars and renders, such as the K Lime Heritage Range, to maintain the breathability and performance of the underlying property.


Features and benefits:

  • Highly breathable - Does not hinder moisture evaporating from the building structure, as commonly necessary for older heritage properties.
  • Naturally durable - Excellent resistance to sun and weather exposure. Naturally delays algae growth, with no need of biocides or algaecides.
  • Environmentally friendly - Water based and low in VOCs, biocides, algicides and solvents.
  • Healthy living - Based on natural, mineral binders as an alternative to polymer based, film-forming paints.
