Anti Mould Paint

Anti-Mould Paint

Many paints within the Graphenstone range have profound anti-mould and antibacterial properties, making them the ideal choice for damp-prone areas requiring anti-condensation paint. 

These paints include Ecosphere, Biosphere, GCS Interior, GCS Exterior, GrafClean and AmbientPro+ due to lime forming a significant portion of the paints’ bases. Lime is the raw material at the core of the Graphenstone range. 

Role of Lime in Anti-Mould Paints

We use lime made using the traditional mid-nineteenth-century wood-burning kilns, producing unmatched whiteness and purity. This lime cycle is 100% sustainable, creating a natural paint base with unique anti-mould and antibacterial properties. 

Lime is highly alkaline with a natural pH of 12, ensuring that bacteria find it nearly impossible to grow and flourish on the surface of our paints. Graphenstone paints are naturally proofed to fungal growth, mould and bacteria – even insects won’t land on our paints. 

Consequently, in areas of your house that suffer from mildew, dampness or moisture, where you often see mould growth and fungal growth, simply using the Graphenstone mould sealant paint range is an easy-care, mould-resistant, anti-condensation solution. Our paint is a perfect anti-mould bathroom paint too!

Why Choose Graphenstone Anti-Mould Paint?

Plenty of anti-sealant paints are on the market, so what sets the Graphenstone range apart? Traditional anti-fungal paints use several synthetic antibacterial additives to prevent mould growth. 

These synthetic additives are high in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), petrochemicals and formaldehyde, making traditional anti-fungal paints as dangerous for your health as mould and fungus itself – many of the damaging health effects they can cause are the same as those caused by toxic mould exposure. 

The remarkable and outstanding characteristic of Graphenstone paints that sets them apart from the rest of the market, is that the anti mould effects are a purely natural advantage of using natural building materials – no damaging additives. 

Lime is a 100% natural and completely non-toxic material with trace VOCs only (under 0.1%), petrochemicals or plastics. It is an abundant, sustainable, and renewable natural resource with profound anti-mould properties that do not require synthetic additives.

The Durability of Graphenstone Paints

Lime paints have been used for millennia, but their commercial success has been limited due to their brittleness. Traditional lime paints crumble and crack, leaving a powdery residue.

Graphenstone mould-resistant paints are different. Infused with pure carbon nanotechnology graphene, these paints are super strong and flexible. This ensures strength and durability without the crumbling or dusting of traditional lime paints.

Graphenstone paints combine the natural anti-mould advantages of lime with the durability of graphene. This innovation ensures that our paints are vital and easily wiped down and cleaned, making them ideal for bathrooms and damp areas.

Anti Mould Paint Colours

The Graphenstone mould-proof paint range is available in a fantastic variety of colours. For pure whites choose Ecosphere or Biosphere for interiors/exteriors respectively, to be delivered via next day delivery. For our colour paints, select one of our 72 house colours for 2-3 days delivery, or contact us directly to order from the wider NCS 980/322.

Surface Preparation for Graphenstone Anti-mould Paint

Graphenstone offers an comprehensive range of high-quality primers, allowing our exterior paints to be applied on all classic substrates in construction, including mortar, brick, concrete and old paints, and similarly, our interior paints to work on all classic interior substrates, including plaster, gypsum, old paints, prefabricated plates, unpainted wallpaper, bare brick etc. 

The substrate itself must be dry, firm, well-adhered and free from any impurities that may hinder the product from setting fully. If the substrate presents algae, mould, fungi, or other contaminants, it is recommended to thoroughly clean it, eliminate it, and use specific products for this purpose.

If the substrate has salt deposits, brush and apply Neutralysal Premium. If the substrate contains a high moisture level, apply StopWater Premium diluted 1:1 with water and leave to dry for 24 hours.

Addressing Impurities and Surface Issues

If the substrate presents surface cracks, apply Füllmasse Premium for 1-3mm cracks or Naturglue Premium for 3-10mm cracks. If the substrate presents mortar deterioration, remove areas that do not adhere by scraping or pricking and clean up by brushing or plenty of water. 

Apply Ecoputty Premium for damage of less than 3mm depth; for 3-8mm, apply Naturglue Premium with a mesh; and for 8-20mm, apply MortarBase Premium and finish with MortarFine Premium.

How to Apply Graphenstone Anti-mould Paint?

Please note that our mould-proof paints come undiluted. This ensures our pot weights remain low, and thus, our shipping footprint is as environmentally friendly as possible. 

Before use, be sure to dilute our paints with 10-15% water according to the labelled instructions and stir (excluding our 100 ml sample pots). Our paints may be rolled, brushed or sprayed according to requirements.
