Beeck ‘Quartz Paint’
Solvent free permeable paint for interiors
‘Ready-to-use waterglass paint for mineral surfaces indoors, especially for coatable lime and lime based cement plasters as well as porous natural stone. Extremely silicification-active and well diffusible. Of an absolutely mineral nature, non-film forming. Provides an agreeable room climate. Ideal for both historical and modern architecture with moderately frequented up to high-traffic rooms. Available in more than 300 nonfading mineral colors.
Unlike organically bound wall paints such as synthetic dispersions, Beeck Quartz Paint does not set physically by „bonding“, but exclusively through silicification - the chemical reaction between mineral surface, filler and potash waterglass. No surface film is being produced, but instead a silicified, microporous unity of surface and coating is created.’
