At Platinum Chemicals, we supply a comprehensive range of coatings and add-ins designed to combat persistent black mould and surface condensation in homes, commercial premises and public buildings.
Combining modern paint chemistry with advanced biocides and proven thermal technologies, our systems protect walls and ceilings from mould, mildew and moisture damage while improving indoor air quality.
Whether you are treating high-humidity bathrooms and kitchens, busy healthcare and education settings, or colder perimeter rooms, our category brings together specialist emulsions and intelligent additives to deliver reliable, long-term results.
Preventing Mould Growth With Advanced Biocide Technology
Mould thrives where surfaces stay damp or where ventilation is limited. Our dedicated anti-mould emulsions - such as ACS Anti Mould Paint Emulsion and ACS Anti Mould & Anti Bacterial Paint Emulsion - are formulated with powerful, film-integrated biocides that actively inhibit mould regrowth for up to five years when applied over sound, properly prepared substrates.
The low-odour, hard-wearing finishes resist routine condensation and routine cleaning, making them ideal for bathrooms, shower rooms, utility spaces and food-preparation areas. Where added hygiene protection is required, ACS Anti Mould & Anti Bacterial Paint Emulsion goes further by also inhibiting common bacteria on the paint film - well suited to hospitals, care facilities and commercial kitchens.
Combatting Condensation With Thermal Insulation
Surface condensation is a key driver of mould. By raising wall and ceiling surface temperatures, anti-condensation coatings help keep the substrate above the dew point so moisture is less likely to form. ACS HydroBar Anti Condensation Paint combines thermal modifiers with moisture-buffering behaviour, absorbing excess atmospheric humidity during peaks and releasing it as conditions normalise.
This stabilises the microclimate at the paint film and delays droplet formation - useful in plant rooms, breweries, changing areas and busy office washrooms. Wykamol ThermalDry Anti Condensation Paint uses micro-technology with hollow glass beads to reflect heat back into the room - like a miniature “Thermos” - reducing heat loss through cold surfaces and making walls feel warmer to the touch. Together, these specialist coatings address both sides of the problem: they cut down on condensation events and make it harder for mould to take hold.
Paint Additives That Turn Standard Paints Into Mould-Resistant Coatings
If you prefer to retain a specific decorative system or colour range, our professional additives allow you to upgrade many conventional paints, pastes and grouts into mould-resistant finishes without changing the look or feel of the coating.
ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive is an easy, mix-in concentrate that turns ordinary decorative paint into an effective anti-mould coating for walls and ceilings. A single 50 ml bottle treats 2.5 L of standard paint or emulsion; simply stir in thoroughly and apply as normal. Versatility is a major benefit: the additive is suitable for emulsions, acrylics, oil-based gloss and eggshell, and can also be used in wallpaper paste, tile grout and similar products to extend protection across the whole room envelope. For peace of mind, ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive carries HSE Approval No. 8627 under the Control of Pesticides Regulations.
Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive provides a professional-grade route to long-term mould suppression within a wide variety of decorative finishes. Supplied in 100ml bottles to dose up to 5L of paint, varnish, undercoat, primer, textured coatings, wallpaper adhesive, grout or tile adhesive, it integrates seamlessly without altering colour, texture or drying time. As part of the Wykamol Mould Control System, it is designed to follow a thorough clean and sterilisation with MCS1 Mould Clear Solution; once incorporated into the decorative layer, Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive builds residual protection into the paint film itself, helping to prevent spore regeneration for up to five years in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and other condensation-prone spaces.
Versatile Application And Durable Results
All products in this category are formulated for straightforward, trade-friendly application over common interior substrates including plaster, drywall, masonry and previously painted surfaces. Anti-mould emulsions are typically applied by brush or roller in two uniform coats, while anti-condensation coatings work best when applied to full wall and ceiling areas that experience temperature swings.
Additives such as ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive and Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive are simply stirred into the base product immediately before use, preserving your chosen colour and sheen while adding in-film protection. When combined with sensible ventilation measures and moisture management, these systems deliver long-lasting performance in real-world conditions.
Long-term Protection With A Clean, Professional Finish
Beyond function, appearance matters. Our anti-mould and anti-condensation coatings are designed to leave a smooth, wipeable finish that stands up to routine cleaning. They are available in practical matt or low-sheen options that disguise minor surface irregularities often found in older properties. By resisting routine condensation and everyday wear, these finishes help maintain a clean, bright appearance and reduce redecoration cycles - especially when the protective effect is further extended with in-film additives for grouts, pastes and trims.
Compliance, Preparation And Good Practice
In environments where mould can present a statutory nuisance, adopting an integrated system of cleaning, biocidal control and thermal management helps duty-holders demonstrate best practice and supports compliance with public health expectations, including actions brought under Section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. As with any coating, preparation is crucial: remove visible mould, clean with an appropriate biocidal wash, allow to dry thoroughly and address obvious moisture sources before applying your chosen paint or additive-enhanced system.
Why Choose Platinum Chemicals For Anti Mould & Anti Condensation Paints?
Choosing Platinum Chemicals means access to a curated portfolio that tackles both the root cause and the visible effects of damp-related decoration failures. From film-preserved emulsions like ACS Anti Mould Paint Emulsion and ACS Anti Mould & Anti Bacterial Paint Emulsion, through thermally active coatings such as ACS HydroBar Anti Condensation Paint and Wykamol ThermalDry Anti Condensation Paint, to intelligent mix-ins including ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive and Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive, we provide flexible routes to protection without compromising your design brief. Specify with confidence, apply with ease and benefit from durable, hygienic interiors that stay cleaner and drier for longer.
