When handling ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive, it is essential to prioritise safety. Always work in a well-ventilated area to minimise exposure to fumes.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety spectacles, nitrile gloves, and a P2 valved respirator, especially if you are working with large quantities or in enclosed spaces. Take care when opening the additive container to prevent spills or splashes.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, and wash thoroughly with soap and water in case of accidental contact. Store the additive in its original container, tightly sealed, and out of reach of children or pets. Dispose of empty containers responsibly, following local regulations, and never use unmarked containers or food and drink vessels for storage.
The ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive is compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including plaster, brick, concrete, painted walls, ceilings, and textured finishes such as blown vinyl or woodchip wallpaper. It is suitable for use with standard emulsion paint, tile grout, wallpaper paste, and water-based undercoats.
For wallpapered surfaces, the additive is most effective when applied as a topcoat. Always ensure that the substrate is clean, stable, and free from loose or flaky material before application. If you are unsure about the suitability of the substrate, conduct a small test application on an inconspicuous area.
Proper surface preparation is critical to achieving a professional finish and maximising the effectiveness of the ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive. Begin by removing any loose or flaking material, such as peeling paint or old wallpaper. Fill all cracks and defects using appropriate fillers and sand the surface to ensure smoothness. Once the surface is stable, clean it thoroughly using ACS Mould Wash Concentrate.
Dilute ACS Mould Wash Concentrate at a ratio of 1:19 with water, creating up to 5 litres of cleaning solution from a 250ml bottle. Wash down the prepared area with a soft cloth, sponge, or soft brush, ensuring all oil, grease, and surface debris are removed. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly before proceeding. Store any unused concentrate in its original container, tightly sealed, and out of reach of children. If you store diluted material, use a clearly marked, non-metal plastic container to avoid contamination.
Carefully open the ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive container and add the entire contents to 2.5 litres of paint, emulsion, tile grout, or wallpaper paste. Stir the mixture very thoroughly to ensure the additive is evenly distributed throughout the product, paying particular attention to the bottom of the container where settling may occur.
Apply the paint or treatment product as per the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring even coverage across the treated area. For emulsion paint, apply using a roller or brush, starting with edges and corners before covering larger surfaces. For wallpaper, ensure the additive is used in the final topcoat to maximise mould resistance. Do not overcoat or apply additional finishes over the treated surface, as this will compromise the mould-resistant properties of the additive.
For textured wallpapers, such as blown vinyl or woodchip, hang the wallpaper only after the cleaned surface has fully dried. Once the wallpaper is applied, coat it with the mould-resistant paint containing the additive to provide a durable and protective finish.
One 50ml bottle of ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive is sufficient to treat 2.5 litres of emulsion paint, grout, or wallpaper paste. This typically provides coverage suitable for the intended use of the base product. For example, standard emulsion paint with the additive can cover approximately 12–14m² per litre, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface. Ensure that the treated surface is fully coated to provide optimal mould resistance.
Once the paint or treatment product has dried, inspect the surface to ensure an even finish. The treated surface will provide a clean, professional appearance while offering robust protection against mould growth. Do not apply additional coatings or wallpaper over the treated surface, as this will seal in moisture and compromise the mould-resistant barrier.
For textured or wallpapered surfaces, ensure that the anti-mould paint additive is applied as the final topcoat. This step is essential to maintaining long-term mould resistance and achieving a high-quality finish.
After application, clean all tools and equipment immediately to prevent the paint or additive mixture from drying. Rinse brushes, rollers, and other tools with warm, soapy water until all residue is removed.
Dispose of any unused diluted cleaning solution responsibly, ensuring compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Safely store any remaining additive in its original container for future use, ensuring the container is tightly sealed and properly labelled.
The ACS Anti Mould Paint Additive is an easy-to-use yet highly effective solution for long-term mould prevention. By combining it with standard paint, grout, or wallpaper paste, it creates a durable, mould-resistant barrier that safeguards your home against future mould growth.
Proper surface preparation, application, and finishing are essential to achieving the best results. Regular inspection and maintenance of treated areas are recommended to ensure lasting protection.
