How to solve mold on the wall? The paint REMAL ANTI-MOLD is a water-based antifungal paint for walls with preventive effect against the growth of molds such as Penicillium glaucum, Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria tenuis, Aureobasidium pullulans, Scletophona pityophila. The maximum preventive effectiveness of the antifungal paint is also achieved against fungi, yeasts, algae, and bacteria.
Antifungal wall paint REMAL covers excellently, is breathable, abrasion-resistant, and has a high whiteness of 90%. The REMAL paint is used for antifungal coatings of plasters, concrete, drywall, cement boards in interiors. The mold-resistant paint shows wet abrasion resistance – measured according to ČSN EN ISO 11998 – class 5. (classification according to EN 13300). Use the antifungal paint safely.
Warning for mold-resistant paint:
Use biocidal products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
Before painting, remove layers of old and non-adhering coatings. Treat areas affected by mold with the remedial REAMAL Sanal for masonry V1406 according to the instructions. Treat absorbent substrates with REMAL universal primer, unstable and crumbling substrates with REMAL deep primer. This will remove dust, strengthen the surface, unify absorbency, and ensure adhesion of the coating. The drying time is 4 hours. For preventive antifungal effect, REMAL antifungal deep primer can be used. Level uneven surfaces with REMAL Spackle. For problematic areas (leak stains, etc.), it is advisable to use the sealing coating REMAL Flek-strop.
Dilute the mold-resistant paint in a ratio of max. 0.4 l of water to 1 kg of paint. Then thoroughly mix the mold-resistant paint. Apply with a brush, roller, or by spraying in 2 layers; apply the next coat after the previous one has dried, at least after 4 hours. The optimal temperature for painting the mold-resistant paint is 15 to 25 °C. The temperature of the substrate and the environment must not fall below 5 °C during application. Use products from the same batch for large areas; mix different batches together before use.
When working, follow basic hygiene rules. The product is not intended for coatings that come into direct contact with food, animal feed, drinking water, or for coatings for children's toys and furniture. Keep out of reach of children. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention.

This international standard ISO EN 11998 describes an accelerated method for determining wet abrasion resistance and washability of paint. Regarding the cleanability of coatings, it only specifies the test method itself but does not specify contaminants. After drying and conditioning, the painted sample is weighed and subjected to wet cleaning cycles in a test abrasive (cleaning) device. From the weight loss, the mean value of the paint thickness loss is calculated. For determining cleanability, contaminants are applied to equally prepared samples. Specified contaminants are left in contact with the coating for the prescribed time. Painted, contaminated samples then undergo cleaning cycles. It is assessed whether the contaminant has been removed and the coating is resistant to wet abrasion.
For evaluation, 5 classes are used - class 1 is the best – class 5 is the worst. Grading is similar to school grading.
How often should you paint?
It is generally recommended to paint approximately every 4 to 5 years. However, if you have small children or pets in the family, for hygiene and aesthetic reasons, it is advisable to repaint approximately every 2 years.
