Sustainable and eco-friendly coating solution: KEIM's clay lime plaster that can be recycled and reused.
========================================================================
KEIM Janus, a new interior plaster innovation, is making waves in the construction industry with its eco-friendly features and improved performance. This product, developed by KEIM Mineral Paints, offers a range of benefits that set it apart from traditional lime or gypsum plasters.
One of the key advantages of KEIM Janus is its significantly lower environmental impact. Manufacturing KEIM Janus requires about 40% less energy compared to traditional lime and gypsum plasters, thereby reducing its carbon footprint[1][3].
Durability is another area where KEIM Janus excels. It is more durable and longer lasting than traditional plasters, providing a robust finish that sustains over time[1]. This durability, combined with its ease of application, makes it beneficial for contractors and decorators.
KEIM Janus is also designed with health in mind. It contains no added solvents, preservatives, or plasticisers, resulting in healthier indoor air compared to many conventional plasters[1]. Additionally, its mineral composition and high clay content offer air purification benefits and excellent breathability, which helps prevent mould and contributes to better indoor air quality[1].
Mould resistance is another feature of KEIM Janus. Its formulation resists mould growth, contributing further to the indoor environmental quality[1]. The product is suitable for retrofit, historic, heritage, or modern buildings, making it a versatile choice for various projects.
KEIM Janus is available in two grain sizes: 0.5mm and 1.2mm. Technical Data Sheets for both sizes can be found on the KEIM website for viewing or download[2]. The product can be prepared on site by mixer or machine, and applied using a suitable tool such as a trowel.
KEIM Janus is fully recyclable and reusable at the end of its life, supporting circular economy principles[1][3]. It is available for purchase directly from KEIM UK in 25kg bags. For more information, you can visit the KEIM Mineral Paints website and web shop[4].
In summary, KEIM Janus stands out through its lower carbon footprint, increased durability, improved indoor air quality through lack of harmful additives and mold resistance, and environmental sustainability via recyclability, making it a strong alternative to traditional lime or gypsum plasters[1][3].
