Household sealant requirements for mildew-proof agents
What is sealant
Sealant refers to a sealing material that is deformed with the shape of the sealing surface, is not easy to flow, and has certain cohesiveness. It is used to fill the configuration gap to play a sealing role of the adhesive, such as silicone sealant, MS sealant, polyurethane sealant, etc., widely used in the kitchen, bathroom and other hot and humid conditions, such as basin installation, countertop installation, bathroom toilet, shower room, bathroom cabinet installation and other scenes.
Sealant mildew phenomenon and harm
These places are suitable for temperature and high humidity, poor ventilation, easy to breed microorganisms, sealant materials often contain a large number of oil components (hydrocarbons) for microorganisms to provide a good food source and breeding sites. A large number of microorganisms grow and spread, so that the structure of the material is eroded, degraded and deteriorated, affecting the performance of the material, shortening its service life, but also directly affect the appearance of the material, produce moldy odor, a serious threat to people's health.
The kitchen is a place to cook daily meals, provide delicious food for the family, and is a very warm and happy place; The bathroom is the place where people wash away the fatigue and dirt of the day and glow. However, if this place becomes a breeding ground for mold, it will affect mood and endanger health. Mold reproduces by producing spores, which are airborne and can land in dust and grow. Dust containing mold spores can cause symptoms if exposed by patients allergic to mold, such as eye congestion, chronic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, allergic alveolitis, and dermatitis.
Sealant requirements for mildewproof agents
A more effective anti-mildew treatment is to add anti-mildew agent to the sealant formula. Whether the anti-mold agent is suitable, the main measure is the anti-mold effect, in addition, the anti-mold agent should also have good photothermal stability, low volatility, low toxicity, and does not affect the process performance and mechanical properties of the sealant.
