防カビ（英語）

Mold-proof coating agent exhibits a strong inhibition/prevention effect against 397 types of fungus and bacteria including 57 types of molds that exist in general buildings through combination of repellent effect and blocking effect. It also exhibits superior safety, and its effect lasts for a long time as it is a nonvolatile agent.

1. Broad antibacterial spectrum
2. Hard to generate resistant strains
3. A nonvolatile agent with long-lasting effect
4. Superior safety

Repels fungi not by killing them but by signaling warning.

Destroys only the outside membranes (mantle) of bacteria and fungi (molds) by a composite synthetic agent containing organic ingredients.

Synthesis of protein, DNA, SH-groups, etc., of bacteria and fungi whose mantles are damaged are inhibited, and thus anti-bacterial effect is exhibited.

Bacteria or fungi whose synthesis are inhibited send warning signals to strains of the same species, so the same species will start avoiding that spot (repelling effect). Also, as they won’t be able to obtain nutrition necessary to grow, they will die eventually.

1. Disturbs the function by damaging only the cell membrane/wall.
2. Elution of minerals from inside the cell (nucleotides, amino acid, protein)
3. Enzyme action is inhibited by blocking synthesis of nucleic acid and protein (random reactions with protein and amino group, phenolic group, SH group, etc. of nucleic acid)
4. Denaturation and coagulation of protein.
5. Reacts with SH in the cell and SH-enzyme and electron transport system are blocked.
6. DNA reproduction is blocked.
7. Mitosis and mycelium elongation are blocked.
8. Breathing is blocked.
9. Lipid synthesis is blocked.
10. Energy transfer is blocked.

There are as many as 57 types of molds detected from general buildings approved by the World Society of Microorganism Disaster.
Mold-proof coating agent is effective against 397 types of fungus and bacteria, including these molds.

The safety of the mold-proofing ingredient of our mold-proof agent has been verified in many aspects ranging from oral toxicity to dioxin. Its safety is also confirmed by various public institutions.

Removed mold on sealant around the window frames in the bathroom using chlorine mold remover. Sprayed them with mold-proof coating agent (coat type) and monitored the effect.

Mold-proof effect lasted for more than 1 year, and molds were easily eliminated and penetration of molds into the sealants was prevented.
