Bochemit Antimold: The solution for wood affected by mold, tested at the Wood Hub

During the Wood Hub at Bife-Sim 2024, we had the opportunity to test an effective solution for a common woodworking problem: mold. Together with Andrei Iliescu from Deposib Expert, we analyzed the effectiveness of Bochemit Antimold product on an already affected piece of wood.

Why is mold a serious problem?

Mold is not only unsightly, it can pose a real threat to the integrity of the wood and the health of those around it. As a living spore-forming organism, it can spread easily, contaminating other healthy surfaces. That's why treating mold properly is crucial.

Bochemit Antimold: Key Features

  • Proven effectiveness: Acts against fungi, algae and lichens
  • Fast acting: Removes mold immediately with visible effect
  • Disinfecting effect: Provides deep surface cleaning
  • Versatile: Can be used on a variety of materials including wood, stone, ceramics and glass
  • Tested to European standards: guarantees product quality and effectiveness

How to correctly apply Bochemit Antimold?

  1. Spraying, not brushing: To avoid spreading spores, the product should be sprayed directly onto the affected surface from a distance of 10-15 cm.
  2. Action time: Leave the solution on for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Natural drying: Allow the product to dry on the wood without rinsing.
  4. Check and repeat: After drying, evaluate the result. If necessary, repeat the process for areas with heavy contamination.

Practical demonstration at the Wood Hub

In order to better understand the effectiveness of Bochemit Antifouling, we conducted a practical demonstration at the Wood Hub. We treated a piece of blackened wood, visibly affected by mold, and documented the entire process.

During the demonstration, I noticed:

  • Fast-acting, with whitening of the wood starting almost immediately after application.
  • Remarkable transformation of the wood after drying, restoring its healthy appearance.
  • Potential need for repeat applications for deep rooted mold.

Tips for use

  • Make sure the solution penetrates deep into the wood for best results.
  • Do not remove mold mechanically before application to prevent the spores from spreading.
  • Use appropriate protective equipment during application.
  • The product has no preventive effect, so it is important to treat the causes of mold growth for long-lasting results.

Bochemit Antimold is proving to be an effective and easy to use solution to the problem of mold on wood and other surfaces. With correct application, this product can bring affected wood back to life, giving it a clean and healthy appearance.
