Summary: The basic principles and conditions for selecting anti mold agents are that there are many types of anti mold agents

The basic principles and conditions for selecting anti mold agents are that there are many types of anti mold agents, and it is impossible to test them one by one. So, among the many anti mold agents, how can science popularization choose the appropriate one? We have derived these two basic principles and the conditions that an ideal mold inhibitor should possess from practice.

(1) Choose based on environmental conditions and types of mold

Anti mold coatings are mainly used in industries such as brewing, beverages, food, and medicine. The main characteristics of their environment are high humidity, high temperature, and abundant nutrients. This type of strip is very suitable for the growth of mold dust. Common molds include Aspergillus niger, Penicillium pseudomallei, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus nidulans, Penicillium citrulli, Trichoderma, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. There are also many antifungal agents suitable for killing or inhibiting the growth of these molds. We have selected nearly a dozen as candidates.

(2) Choose based on the anti mold effect and safety

Choosing an anti mold agent undoubtedly requires it to have good anti mold effect. Good anti mold effect means that the selected anti mold agent should have a long-term anti mold effect with a small dosage, which needs to be confirmed through experiments. Science Popularization Yin did not conduct experiments on the anti mold effect of the more than ten pre selected anti mold agents, but further screened them based on their safety. This is determined by the application scenarios of the anti mold coating we have developed, which must be low toxicity, preferably non-toxic, and not harmful to human health. Therefore, we mainly consider using antifungal agents with relatively high LD50 (semi lethal dose). According to the toxicity classification standard, those with LD50>500mg/kg are considered low toxicity. The LD50 of nearly 10 antifungal agents selected by Science Popularization for the anti mold effect test is above 500mg/kg. The LD50 of several selected antifungal agents were all above 3000mg/kg.

Of course, when choosing an antifungal agent, other factors must also be considered, such as the stability of the agent itself, its price, and ease of use. Through experiments and practical applications, Ke Pu Yin believes that as an ideal mold inhibitor, it should have the following conditions.

① Efficient: It has strong antibacterial power, which means that it can kill or inhibit the reproduction and growth of mold with a small amount of medication.

② Low toxicity: high safety, no harm to human health, requiring an LD50 greater than 500mg/kg.

③ Broad spectrum: It has a killing or inhibitory effect on multiple types of fungi and a wide antibacterial spectrum. Due to different environmental conditions, the types of fungi are also different. Even under the same environmental conditions, multiple types of fungi can reproduce and grow. Anti mold agents that only have killing or inhibitory effects on one or a few types of mold are difficult to achieve good anti mold effects.

④ Good stability: Anti mold agents should not have adverse effects on other raw materials in the coating, thereby affecting the performance of the coating or reducing the effectiveness of the agent. They should also not decompose or undergo other changes in a short period of time in the environment in which they are used, thereby significantly reducing or even rendering the antibacterial effect ineffective. In other words, anti mold agents should have a long-lasting antibacterial and anti mold effect.

⑤ The price is cheap and easy to use.

Of course, it is difficult to find an inhibitor that fully meets the various conditions mentioned above. When selecting and applying it, Science Popularization Hospital selects the best one based on different situations.

① Choosing an ideal mold inhibitor is the technical key to preparing high-performance mold resistant coatings

② Environmental conditions and types of mold are the main criteria for selecting antifungal agents, and high efficiency and low toxicity are the two main performance factors to consider when choosing antifungal agents.

③ The increase in the amount of anti mold agent improves the anti mold effect, but beyond a certain amount, the anti mold effect does not show significant improvement. Therefore, the amount of anti mold agent should be appropriate. Considering the cost of the coating, the amount should be minimized as much as possible without significantly reducing the anti mold effect.

④ The combination of antifungal agents can significantly improve the anti mold effect. Therefore, it is advisable to use two or more anti mold agents in a single anti mold coating formula.
