gräfix 697

Mineral fixative

gräfix 697 is a thinner and primer for our gräfix mineral paints, consisting of specially formulated water glasses.

Mineral Fixative is suitable both for priming highly absorbent surfaces and for stabilising sandy and crumbly surfaces. It is also used for glazing mineral surfaces and for thinning mineral paints.

Supplied in: 1- and 10-litre containers

Coverage: approx. 100 g/m² per coat

gräfix mineral paints

gräfix mineral paints based on silicate and lime, for interior and exterior use

Silicate paints in accordance with VOB/C DIN 18363, clause 2.4.1, for the protection and decoration of façades, for vapour-permeable coatings indoors and for mineral finishes outdoors. The paints are based on water glasses and possess vapour-permeable properties.

The combination of selected inorganic colour pigments, mineral fillers and water glasses gives gräfix mineral paints protective and durable properties and helps to preserve the building fabric. The lightfast colour pigments ensure a striking colour effect and depth of colour.

Thanks to its high pH value, the gräfix mineral paint system requires no biocidal or fungicidal additives, nor any preservatives. The high pH value creates conditions on the wall surface that can inhibit the growth of mould. The paint system is therefore suitable for use indoors.
