It is said that there are tens of thousands of types of mold fungi, but only 57 types are detected in buildings. (World Society for Microbial Hazard Prevention)
The number of fungi used in the mold resistance test in Japan is only a few types. However, when you take the measures for mold, it is necessary to use something that is effective against these 57 types of mold fungi.
Mold itself tends to be seen as a bad thing, but it is used as an edible in ancient Japanese fermented foods.
Sake, shochu, soy sauce, miso, etc. are brewed using koji, which is made by cultivating and breeding koji mold in grains.
Mold has also been used to make cheese since ancient times.
There are blue cheeses such as “Roquefort” and “Gorgonzola” using blue mold, and “Brie” and “Camembert” using white mold.
There are many molds that are closely related to our life. In a way, mold is also an essential existence for us.💛
The Japanese Industrial Standards established JIS Z 2911:2018, an antifungal performance test method for building materials.
This test uses 5 typical molds in the building to find out how much mold grows on the treated products within 4 weeks.
Anti-Mold spray also performed the above JIS test, and after 4 weeks, it showed high anti-mold performance that no mold was present even when checked under a microscope.
If you want a high anti-mold effect, please try Anti-Mold spray once!
