Black mould (Aspergillus niger) is a common issue in properties affected by damp and condensation. It can cause unsightly damage to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces, as well as pose significant health risks, including respiratory issues, allergies, and infections. Effective treatment and prevention of black mould are essential to maintaining a healthy, safe living or working environment. At Platinum Chemicals, we offer a targeted range of products specifically designed for the treatment and prevention of black mould, including the Wykamol MCS Range and the ACS Mould Control Range.

The Importance of Treating Black Mould

Black mould thrives in damp and poorly ventilated areas, often caused by condensation and high humidity. If left untreated, it can spread quickly, damaging building materials and leading to costly repairs. More importantly, the spores released by black mould can affect air quality, increasing the risk of respiratory problems, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, or those with pre-existing health conditions. This makes timely and effective treatment of mould a top priority.

Wykamol MCS Range: Powerful Mould Eradication and Protection

The Wykamol MCS Range provides a comprehensive, multipurpose solution for treating and preventing black mould. The MCS Mould Eradication Kit includes all the essential products needed to tackle mould growth effectively. The kit combines the cleaning power of the Wykamol MCS1 Mould Clear Solution with the long-lasting protective capabilities of the Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive. The MCS system is a two-stage process that begins with thorough cleaning and sterilising the affected area using MCS1 Mould Clear, followed by the application of MCS3 to ensure surfaces are protected from future mould growth. This dual-action approach provides up to 5 years of mould resistance when used in conjunction with moisture control measures.

For larger areas or more severe cases, the Wykamol MCS1 Mould Clear Concentrate 5X offers an industrial-strength solution. This concentrated version of MCS1 dilutes to create 25 litres of ready-to-use product, making it ideal for extensive treatments across multiple surfaces such as walls, floors, and ceilings. It efficiently kills mould spores and prevents recurrence, providing a long-term solution to black mould infestations.

ACS Mould Control Range: Complete Mould Treatment for All Surfaces

The ACS Mould Control Range is another powerful solution for tackling black mould. The ACS Mould Control Kit contains all the necessary components to treat and prevent mould growth, including the ACS Mould Wash Concentrate for initial cleaning and sterilisation. The kit also includes ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive, which can be mixed with standard emulsion paint to provide a durable, mould-resistant finish for walls and ceilings.

The ACS Mould Wash Concentrate is a highly effective fungicidal cleaner and surface biocide, designed for use on various surfaces such as masonry, tiles, wood, and painted areas. It can be used as a pre-treatment before applying paint, ensuring that the surface is free of mould spores and ready for long-lasting protection. The ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive is an innovative solution that transforms ordinary paint into a mould-resistant coating, ensuring that treated areas remain free from mould for years to come.

Long-Term Mould Prevention with Paint Additives

One of the most effective ways to prevent the return of black mould is through the use of fungicidal paint additives. Both the Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive and the ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive are designed to mix with emulsion, primer, or undercoat paints, creating a mould-resistant barrier on treated surfaces. These additives provide an extra layer of defence in high-risk areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and poorly ventilated rooms, offering long-term protection against mould regrowth.

Why Black Mould Treatment Matters

Black mould is not just a cosmetic problem—it can significantly impact the health of building occupants and the structural integrity of the property. Addressing the issue through thorough cleaning, treatment, and prevention is vital for maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment. The products in both the Wykamol MCS and ACS Mould Control ranges are designed to target the root causes of mould, eradicating it at the source and providing long-lasting protection against its return.

Whether you are dealing with minor mould growth or a more extensive infestation, Platinum Chemicals offers the solutions you need to effectively treat and prevent black mould in your home or business.
