Product Introduction and Features of Antibacterial & Anti-Mold Coatings

Microorganisms exist widely in nature. The suitable natural conditions for mold reproduction and growth are usually a temperature of 23°C–38°C and a relative humidity of 85%–100%.Therefore, mold tends to grow on the interior and exterior walls of buildings in warm and humid regions, as well as on the walls, ceilings, floors and underground projects of constant-temperature and constant-humidity workshops in other areas.Molds multiply rapidly and produce various metabolites such as enzymes, acids and toxins, which affect the appearance and quality of materials, pollute the environment, and harm the growth of animals and plants as well as human health.

If ordinary decorative coatings are used, they will be eroded by mold to varying degrees, and organic coatings are particularly vulnerable to mold attack.Coatings corroded by mold may fade, become stained and even peel off. This is because after invading the paint film, mold secretes enzymes that further decompose the organic film-forming substances in the coating, turning them into nutrients for mold growth and thus damaging the entire coating.This is especially important during the rainy season in southern China.

Therefore, mold prevention is crucial in many southern regions and humid areas, and sufficient attention should be paid to building mold prevention.Applying anti-mold coatings on walls and floors is one effective solution.Anti-mold coatings provide both architectural decoration and mold prevention functions, with broad and long-term bactericidal and inhibitory effects on mold and yeast.

The main features of architectural anti-mold coatings are that they not only have excellent anti-mold performance but also good decorative properties.After applying anti-mold coatings on building surfaces in mold-prone environments, the structures are less likely to develop mold.Since architectural anti-mold coatings are used on interior and exterior walls, ceilings or floors of buildings, they also deliver good decorative effects.This effect is usually achieved by adding certain mold inhibitors to the coating.
