Fungicidal bathroom paint

What is fungicidal bathroom paint?

Anti-fungal bathroom paint is a specialized paint product designed to protect surfaces against the growth of mold, fungi, and bacteria. Thanks to its unique properties, this paint not only improves the aesthetics of the interior but, above all, provides lasting protection for walls and ceilings in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms.

How does antifungal paint work?

Antifungal paints contain active ingredients that effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms. An example of such a paint is Titanium LX Ag , which contains silver nanoparticles that impart bactericidal and fungicidal properties to the coating. This ensures that the surface remains protected against microorganisms even after several cleaning cycles.

In which rooms is it worth using it?

Fungicidal paints are recommended for use in rooms exposed to high humidity and frequent soiling. Besides bathrooms, they are perfect for kitchens, laundries, basements, and other areas where mold and mildew growth is a concern. Products such as Latex LX Ag are also recommended for healthcare, food, and pharmaceutical facilities, where high levels of hygiene are required.

Advantages of using fungicidal paint

• Protection against mold and fungi: Specialized active ingredients effectively prevent the growth of microorganisms on surfaces.
• Moisture resistance: Paints such as RO5090 absorb excess moisture from the air, reducing the risk of condensation on walls.
• Easy to clean: The coatings are resistant to scrubbing and cleaning with standard disinfectants, making them easy to keep clean.
• Durability: Thanks to high-quality ingredients, fungicidal paints retain their protective properties for a long time.

What types of fungicidal paints are available?

Latex paints with silver ions

Products such as Titanium LX Ag and Latex LX Ag contain silver nanoparticles, which give the coating antibacterial and antifungal properties. They are recommended for rooms with high hygiene requirements.

Anti-condensation paints

RO5090 anti-condensation paint is resistant to moisture, mold and fungi, and additionally absorbs excess water vapor from the air, reducing the risk of condensation.

Photocatalytic paints

Paints such as Titanium LX Ag use the photocatalysis process to purify the air of pollutants and limit the growth of microorganisms.

Epoxy paints

Epimal LX is a water-based epoxy paint, resistant to wet cleaning, ideal for areas requiring frequent cleaning and disinfection.

How to prepare walls for painting with fungicidal paint?

1. Removing old paint: If there are old, peeling layers of paint on the walls, they must be carefully removed.
2. Surface cleaning: Walls should be free of dust, dirt, and grease. If mold or fungi are present, use an appropriate fungicide, such as GrzyboStop .
3. Surface levelling: Gaps and irregularities should be filled with appropriate filler and then smoothed.
4. Priming: Using a suitable primer such as Sil-Grunt will increase paint adhesion and provide better end results.

How to properly apply bathroom paint?

Step 1: Choosing the right tools

To apply the paint, it is best to use a medium-bristle paint roller or a brush for corners and hard-to-reach places.

Step 2: Mixing the paint

Before painting, mix the paint thoroughly to ensure a uniform consistency and color.

Step 3: Applying the first layer

The first coat of paint should be applied evenly, using vertical or horizontal movements to avoid streaks.

Step 4: Drying time

After applying the first coat of paint, wait the recommended drying time according to the information contained in the product data sheet.

Step 5: Applying the second coat

Once the first coat has dried, a second coat of paint can be applied to ensure full coverage and maximum protection against moisture and mold.

Step 6: Cleaning the tools

After painting, thoroughly wash the tray, brushes and rollers with water or a suitable cleaning agent.
