Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Coating Option: The Recyclable, Reusable Clay Lime Plaster Offered by KEIM
New Interior Plaster Innovation: KEIM Janus Offers Sustainability and Performance
KEIM, a renowned name in the world of paints and plasters, has unveiled a new interior plaster innovation – KEIM Janus. This plaster is engineered with both performance and the planet in mind, offering significant advantages over traditional lime or gypsum plasters.
The principal advantages of KEIM Janus lie in its significantly lower CO₂ production, potential for reuse, and the benefits mineral-based plasters provide in moisture management. These factors collectively improve the sustainability and indoor environmental quality of buildings.
KEIM Janus plaster is part of a mineral plaster category known for durability and breathability, which generally contributes to better moisture regulation in buildings compared to gypsum plasters. This natural breathability can enhance indoor air quality by helping to control humidity and reduce pollutants.
Moreover, KEIM Janus's mineral composition is often associated with the capability to bind and neutralize harmful substances, although the specifics of this property are not extensively detailed in available search results. However, it is worth noting that traditional lime and gypsum plasters may vary in such properties but tend to be less focused on sustainability aspects like CO₂ reduction or reuse.
KEIM Janus is more durable and longer lasting than traditional plasters, requiring 40% less energy to manufacture, reducing its carbon footprint. It is also mould resistant, making it an ideal choice for various types of buildings, including retrofit, historic, heritage, and modern structures.
Application of KEIM Janus is straightforward. It can be prepared on site using a mixer or machine and applied using a suitable tool such as a trowel. The plaster does not contain added solvents, preservatives, or plasticisers, making it eco-friendly and virtually VOC-free.
KEIM Janus is available for purchase directly from KEIM UK, in 25kg bags. For more detailed technical information, the Technical Data Sheets for KEIM Janus can be viewed or downloaded from the KEIM website. The KEIM Mineral Paints website and web shop are also available for those interested in exploring more about KEIM's sustainable offerings.
Interestingly, KEIM Janus can air purify due to its high clay content and is reusable at the end of its life, making it fully recyclable. This feature sets KEIM Janus apart as a truly sustainable and environmentally friendly interior plaster choice.
