During the Spring Festival of 2020, the legendary "Nian" monster turned into a new crown virus and came out to harm the people. The traditional firecrackers are no longer effective. The medical elites across the country went to the frontline of the anti-epidemic to fight against the new crown virus. People who eat melons have put on masks and protective goggles to defend themselves.

The means of defense against viruses is not only masks, but also protective clothing. The first task is to cut off the source of the virus, do not eat wild animals, do not touch live poultry, food production, processing and preservation follow the rules of clean production and transportation, and clean the public environment. The second is to do a good job in personal hygiene and keep the work and home environment clean and free of germs.  

The environment of work and home is not a hospital, so it is not suitable to use disinfectants frequently. In addition to the pollution of the environment, the residual disinfectants will penetrate into the human body, which is not conducive to the health of the body and the health of the next generation.

Mold is the enemy of health, and there are many kinds of pathogenic bacteria symbiotic with mold. Living in such an environment, the human body is particularly susceptible to infection by germs and damage to health. Once the wall smallpox is infected with mold and other pathogenic bacteria, it is easy to cause cross-infection, which will have a great impact on people's health.

Creating a clean space is the primary concern of every public space designer. Choosing wall and ceiling materials that can prevent the growth of germs and molds is the first element in creating a clean space, followed by good ventilation and purification of the fresh air system.

Among the anti-mold materials for walls and ceilings, anti-mold coatings are a relatively common solution. Common anti-mold paints on the market are usually added dry film anti-fungal agent to latex paint, which can inhibit the growth of mold or destroy the internal structure of mold to kill mold. But this antifungal coating has certain defects: one is that the antifungal agent has high biological toxicity, which will cause some impact on the environment and organisms. The second is that the organic matter content in the anti-mold coating is high. Adding an anti-mold agent to this coating can temporarily prevent the paint film from becoming a nutrient for mold, but once the anti-mold agent fails, the surface of the coating will still become moldy; the third is the performance of adapting to the environment Low, in a high humidity environment, the performance and service life of conventional anti-mold coatings will be reduced due to the influence of the coating itself and external mold.

Simon A+ inorganic coating has special advantages in anti-mold and sterilization: Simon A+ inorganic coating is a film-forming substance mainly composed of potassium silicate, with low organic content and low pH High value, with natural mildew resistance. Simon A+ inorganic coating does not need to add antifungal agent, which reduces the pollution of antifungal agent to the environment. Simon A+ inorganic coating film has good air permeability and water resistance, which makes the film dry and reduces the growth conditions of mold. In a humid environment, the potassium silicate in the Simon A+ inorganic coating reacts with the carbonate of the wall and the carbon dioxide in the air to form potassium carbonate, a by-product of potassium carbonate. The Simon A+ paint film is strongly alkaline, and in a humid environment It can also play a long-lasting anti-mildew effect. Therefore, Simon A+ inorganic coating is a natural anti-mildew coating. In the test of Guangzhou Institute of Microbiology, Simon A+ inorganic coating obtained the best 0-level anti-mold effect, and the longest 0-level anti-mold duration test. However, the anti-mildew paint with dry film anti-mold agent added to the latex paint can generally only achieve the first-grade anti-mold effect and the first-grade anti-mold duration.

Is there any reason not to use such a good natural alkaline antibacterial material? In the design specification of public space, it has been clearly stated that inorganic coatings must be used. People who eat melons, why don’t they replace their small worlds with inorganic coatings that do not grow mold?
