Product Information

Full details

Smartseal Anti Mould Paint in Green is designed for homeowners and renters looking to combat mould, mildew, and algae in damp areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms. Its key benefit is providing a durable, matt finish that actively prevents the regrowth of unsightly and unhealthy mould. A potential caveat is that while it prevents growth, it does not remove existing heavy mould staining; pre-treatment is recommended for severe cases. This solvent-free, acrylic emulsion paint is easy to apply and contributes to better indoor air quality with its low VOC formulation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I paint over existing mould with this product?

It is strongly recommended to treat and remove any existing mould growth thoroughly before applying Smartseal Anti Mould Paint. This paint is designed to prevent new growth, not to cover or kill heavy existing infestations.

What surfaces can this paint be used on?

It is suitable for most interior walls, ceilings, and floors, including plaster, masonry, and previously painted surfaces. Avoid direct application on unsealed wood or metal.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Refer to the specific product packaging for precise drying times between coats and before full curing, as this can vary. Ensure adequate ventilation during the drying process.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

No, Smartseal Anti Mould Paint is formulated for interior use only.

Does the green colour affect its anti-mould properties?

No, the colour of the paint does not affect its anti-mould properties. The active fungicide is incorporated into the paint formulation regardless of the colour.

How many coats should I apply?

For optimal protection and finish, applying two coats is generally recommended. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

What is the coverage rate?

The approximate coverage is 4-6m² per litre per coat. This can vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface being painted.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Avoid painting over unsuitable surfaces like damp or greasy walls.

Mould reappears quickly

This suggests the underlying moisture problem has not been resolved, or existing mould was not fully removed before painting. Address ventilation issues or leaks and reapply if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly and applied evenly with consistent strokes. Consider using a roller for larger areas for a smoother finish. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Paint has a strong odor

Although low VOC, some odor may be present initially. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. The odor should dissipate as the paint cures.

  • Easy to apply, suitable for DIY projects.
  • Provides a durable matt finish.
  • Suitable for various surfaces including walls, ceilings, and floors.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and existing mould. For heavily contaminated areas, treat with a dedicated mould remover first and allow to dry thoroughly. Any flaking paint should be removed.

Application: Stir the paint well before use. Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats (refer to product tin for specific times). Avoid applying in very cold, damp conditions or direct sunlight.

Compatibility: Suitable for most common interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, masonry, and previously painted surfaces. Not recommended for direct application onto bare, unsealed wood or metal.

Care: Clean the painted surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the finish. If mould does reappear, it usually indicates an underlying moisture issue that needs addressing.
