Black mould, particularly Aspergillus niger, poses significant health risks and can cause extensive damage to buildings. Mould thrives in damp environments, often caused by condensation or poor ventilation, and can quickly spread on walls, ceilings, wood, and masonry. Platinum Chemicals provides a comprehensive range of Black Mould Control products designed to effectively treat, prevent, and eliminate black mould, ensuring both the health of occupants and the structural integrity of the building.
The Risks of Black Mould
Black mould can trigger respiratory issues such as asthma, allergies, and even infections, particularly in those with weakened immune systems. In addition to health risks, mould can damage surfaces, leading to unsightly stains and costly repairs. Preventing and eradicating mould is crucial in maintaining a safe, clean, and habitable environment.
Complete Mould Treatment and Prevention Solutions
Our Wykamol MCS and ACS Mould Control ranges offer complete solutions for treating black mould in homes and commercial buildings. The Wykamol MCS Mould Eradication Kit and ACS Mould Control Kit provide all the essential products needed to safely remove and prevent black mould. These kits include surface cleaners like Wykamol MCS1 Mould Clear Solution and ACS Mould Wash Concentrate, which eliminate mould spores on contact. These solutions are designed for use on various surfaces including walls, ceilings, and wood, ensuring thorough treatment.
Long-Lasting Protection with Paint Additives
Once the surfaces are cleaned and treated, preventing mould recurrence is key. Wykamol MCS3 Fungicidal Paint Additive and ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive transform regular paints into powerful mould-resistant coatings. These additives are mixed into emulsion or other decorative finishes to protect walls and ceilings from future mould attacks. By providing a mould-resistant barrier, these products help maintain a clean, safe living environment, even in areas prone to condensation.
Anti-Condensation and Anti-Mould Paints
Condensation often leads to mould growth, particularly in poorly ventilated or cold areas. To combat this, products like Wykamol ThermalDry Anti Condensation Paint and ACS HydroBar Anti Condensation Paint are designed to regulate surface temperature and reduce condensation. These paints contain advanced micro-technology that raises wall temperatures, preventing moisture buildup and mould formation. Additionally, ACS Anti Mould & Anti Bacterial Paint Emulsion provides dual protection against both mould and bacteria, ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and hospitals.
High-Performance Insulation with Wykamol ISO-THERM
In addition to surface treatments, preventing mould often requires addressing the underlying causes, such as poor insulation. Wykamol ISO-THERM Thin Internal Wall Insulation (TIWI) is a revolutionary solution that not only improves thermal efficiency but also prevents the formation of condensation and mould. This ultra-thin, 4mm internal wall insulation is vapour-permeable and waterproof, allowing walls to breathe while blocking moisture. ISO-THERM reduces condensation and prevents the development of efflorescent salts, which can stain and damage surfaces. Easy to install with minimal disruption, this product is ideal for retrofitting properties prone to cold and damp conditions, providing both insulation and mould prevention in one solution.
Sealants for Mould-Prone Areas
In areas like bathrooms and kitchens, where humidity is high, mould-resistant sealants are essential for long-term protection. Products such as Soudal Stay Fresh NEUTRAL and Soudal Stay Fresh ACETOXY anti-mould sanitary silicones are specially formulated to resist moisture and prevent mould growth in wet environments. These sealants offer powerful fungicidal properties and ensure lasting protection, even in the most challenging conditions.
Why Black Mould Control Matters
Preventing and treating black mould is crucial not only for protecting building materials but also for safeguarding health. Uncontrolled mould growth can lead to costly repairs and pose serious health risks, making mould control an essential part of property maintenance. Platinum Chemicals’ range of Black Mould Control products, including cleaning solutions, anti-mould paints, insulation, and sealants, offers a comprehensive approach to eradicating mould and preventing its return, ensuring long-term safety and cleanliness in both domestic and commercial environments.
