Study on the Painting Type Anti-Mould Agent for Surface of Building Materials

Abstract

In storage or basement rooms with no air conditioning, mold infestation can occur during construction or right after they are built. We developed an anti-mould agent, which can be directly coated on the building material surface as a mold control tool. We studied on the agent’s performance to counter mould and several factors, and performed demonstration. As a result, it was clarified as follows. The agent was higher performance than commercially agents and had effect on varied building materials. The durability was 12 months at least, the performance under wet condition held up in short time, and there were few changes by applying the agent about external appearance. Moreover, the verification test was conducted using parts where mould was infested, its effectiveness was confirmed when mould growth could not be seen.
