Fixative - Primer, Thinner and Binder

Potassium water glass without organic content, effective as a binder and thinning additive as well as for priming and stabilizing porous, mineral substrates.

BEECK Fixative is silicification active potassium water glass as a binder. Silicification, the chemical reaction between substrate, pigments and potassium water glass, produces uniform inseparable bonding with the mineral substrate. Water glass coats are capillary-active and dry quickly after it has rained. As there are no adhesive, thermoplastic synthetic resin components involved, façades remain clean longer. The high natural alkalinity of the potassium water glass counteract dirt, mould and algae growth. This enables non-toxic, ecologically compatible coats on substrates critical with regard to building physics properties, for example, listed buildings. The matt character of the mineral coating with its deep light and the pure mineral, lightfast pigmentation enhances any building for decades. Pure silicate coatings are not only unsurpassed with regard to durability and easy renovation, but are also economical.
