Keimfarben
Keimfarben GmbH is a medium-sized company based in Diedorf near Augsburg. It belongs to the Leonhard Moll AG Group and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of silicate paints. Buildings such as the White House, Buckingham Palace, Sydney Opera House and the Bolshoi Theatre are painted with Keimfarben paints.
Company founder Adolf Wilhelm Keim is seen as the inventor of silicate paints (mineral paints), which revolutionised the builders' and painters' trade at the end of the 19th century.
==History==
The reign of King Ludwig I of Bavaria was a time of intensive research into water glass (potassium silicate). The king loved the colourful lime frescoes in North Italy and longed to enjoy the typically splendid colours produced by lime paints in his own kingdom. But the harsh German climate was not suitable for the technique used in Italy.
Eventually, the skilled craftsman and researcher Adolf Wilhelm Keim succeeded in mixing liquid water glass and mineral colour pigments to create a paint that could withstand the climate north of the Alps while at the same time offering brilliant colours. The paint's durability results from the chemical bond formed by the binding agent with the substrate (silification). Keim obtained a patent for his mineral paints in 1878, thus laying the foundation stone for today's company Keimfarben GmbH. The first production site was near to the limestone quarry in Offenstetten (which belongs to Abensberg today) in Lower Bavaria.
