 How moldBLOCKTM Works
Most mold requires at least 3 Components to thrive :
1) Oxygen
2) Moisture
3) a Food Source
Given that there are billions of mold spores in the air we
breath under just about any normal condition, no one can prevent the
growth of mold by eliminating mold spores.
Most mold inhibiting products address the "moisture" component
of mold growth. When applied, they often produce a film that acts as a
moisture barrier between the surface to be protected (i.e. wood or
paper) and the moisture in the air.
moldBLOCKTM performs differently than other products, in that the active ingredients in moldBlock™ attack the "Food Source" for mold, so that the surface being treated can't provide any source of feed for mold to grow. moldBlock™
's active ingredients are widely used for specifically this purpose in
human food products: preventing mold in many of the foods we eat.
More About the products we use
Sorbates are widely known to be stable in dry form and
effective in impeding mold and fungus development. However, Sorbates
are typically not stable against oxidation when dissolved in water. BenTech™
has developed a family of products that is successful in stabilizing
the oxidation of sorbate in an aqueous solution By being a stabilized
aqueous solution, It is easily dispersed with other
ingredients to provide a uniform distribution when mixed, preventing
oxidation that would normally reduce sorbate content, thereby extending
the active ingredient effectiveness in restraining spore development
& growth of mold, yeast and certain bacteria.
