How Important Is The Anti-mold Performance Of Sealant?

Reason for mold growth

After applying sealant for a period of time, the surface will accumulate dirt, which is rich in organic matter. In addition, the place of use is humid all year round, which is prone to the growth of microorganisms. Ordinary sealant does not have antibacterial ingredients. After a period of use, mold can easily grow on the surface of the sealant and even penetrate into the interior, making it difficult to remove.

The most obvious feeling of moldy sealant is that the appearance of the sealant seam is unsightly, which affects the home experience. In addition, the mold on the surface of the sealant also has a negative impact on the cleanliness and hygiene of the home environment, and can even endanger human health.

Mold proof performance

The anti mold performance of sealant is usually set according to national or industry standards, such as JC/T 885-2016 "Anti mold sealant for construction". The anti mold level is divided into level 0 and level 1, with level 0 being the highest anti mold level, indicating that there is no obvious mold growth observed under a 50x microscope within 28 days.

Practical application

The anti mold performance of sealant is very important in practical applications, especially in humid environments. The excellent anti mold performance of sealant can protect the health of family members.

At the same time, the actual performance of anti mold performance will also be affected by specific application environments, such as humidity, temperature, and types of pollution sources. During use, it is necessary to keep the environment dry and clean, and regularly check the condition of the sealant. If necessary, it should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.

Choose Suggestions

When choosing sealant, it is recommended to choose sealant that meets industry standards and reaches the highest level of mold resistance, Grade 0. At the same time, the green and environmentally friendly performance of the product and the reputation and service of the manufacturer should also be considered.
