MoldShock has excellent disinfecting properties. The existing mold mycelium and its spores are embedded into the paint layer with the first spray application. The second coat creates an antibacterial/antimycotic surface, preventing mold from growing or penetrating the treated area.

Yes, MoldShock can be applied directly to existing mold. However, we recommend fixing any structural damage before application.

MoldShock embeds the mold mycelium and spores into the paint layer with the first coat, preventing further growth or penetration, confirmed by microscopic analysis in testing labs.

Practical experiences confirm its excellent disinfecting effect. Scientific studies have verified its immediate antimicrobial effectiveness.

To prove its efficacy, MoldShock has been tested and certified in various scientific studies, including:

Antibacterial effectiveness tests (ISO 22196:2011 modified)


Mold penetration tests


Sporicidal effectiveness tests (ISO 22196:2011 modified)


Microscopic analysis tests

MoldShock is only available in white. However, it can be tinted with standard tinting colors up to 5% (e.g. 225 ml tint per 4.5 L MoldShock).

No, it is chlorine-free and smells like a normal interior wall paint. It does not release any toxic odors that would bother room occupants.

Apply MoldShock twice. Let the first coat dry completely before applying the second. Microbiological analyses show that two coats are sufficient for full disinfection.

Always store sealed, at temperatures between +5°C and +30°C.

To ensure the contents mix evenly and build up proper spray pressure.

Yes

If the can is not completely emptied, wipe the nozzle with a damp cloth to prevent clogging from dried paint.

Surface and room temperatures should be between +5°C and +35°C.

As long as storage recommendations are followed and before the expiry date indicated.

It is suitable for plaster, concrete, sand-lime brick, woodchip wallpaper, mineral paints, old coatings, and plasterboard.

Yes, with any standard paint. However, for optimal mold protection, we recommend painting over it only with MoldShock itself.

High humidity (>60%) in rooms creates a high risk for mold formation. Due to high heating costs, rooms are often kept at lower temperatures, leading to condensation and mold growth.

Ventilation: Open windows completely for shock ventilation 3 times a day. When condensation forms on windows, keep them open until it dries.

Furniture: Keep furniture 5–10 cm away from walls to allow air circulation.

Food: Remove moldy food immediately, especially organic waste.

Yes. Mold causes material damage and can trigger skin irritation, mucous membrane irritation, allergies, and asthma.

If mold is due to structural defects, contact professionals to fix them before treatment.

No, it can appear in many colors depending on the species, including yellow, brown, red, ochre, or green.

Vinegar only works temporarily. Its acid is quickly neutralized and provides nutrients that can promote mold growth over time.

No, it becomes dormant and fades in color but reactivates when moisture returns.

All safety precautions can be found in the safety data sheet.

MoldShock is designed for DIY use. It comes ready to use with application videos linked via QR codes on the can and bucket.

At +20°C and ~65% humidity, it dries in 4–6 hours.

Yes, after it has fully dried and the room has been ventilated.

No, it is an interior wall paint only.

Yes.

No, but it is breathable and dries completely even in humid areas like bathroom ceilings.

Surfaces must be solid, dust-free, and load-bearing. If not, they need to be prepared accordingly (see data sheet).

If the can temperature is below +18°C or it was not shaken enough. Warm it to +18°C and shake well before use.

Place the can in lukewarm water for 10 minutes if cold to increase pressure.

Spray two coats over mold areas. To avoid visible transitions, lightly fade out the spray toward surrounding areas for a smooth blend.

In well-ventilated rooms, no mask is needed. Otherwise, wear a mask, goggles, and gloves (see safety data sheet).

Use only within the expiry date for guaranteed effectiveness.

Wash thoroughly with plenty of water.

Yes. Wear protective gear, wet it to prevent spore inhalation, scrape it off, then treat twice with MoldShock.

The first coat embeds mold and spores. The second ensures complete disinfection. Never skip it.

It is a standard classifying interior paints by scrub resistance, opacity, gloss level, and grain size.

If there are severe structural defects. MoldShock cannot hold together surfaces like crumbling plaster from moisture.

Landlords if due to structural issues; tenants if due to their behavior (e.g. poor ventilation).

Minimize exposure. For example, you are exposed for ~8 hours while sleeping. Remove mold quickly, especially in bedrooms and children’s rooms.

Mold spores can germinate and grow within two days on sufficiently moist surfaces.

Warm air holds more moisture. Cold air cannot, so excess moisture condenses on cold surfaces, causing mold.

No. Its short-term effect is neutralized quickly, and it provides nutrients that promote mold growth in the long run.

It kills mold by destroying cell walls but releases irritating gases and strong odors. Rooms may remain uninhabitable until fully aired out.

Above 50% relative humidity. Below that, mold doesn’t die but remains inactive.

Possible causes: too many houseplants, drying laundry indoors, frequent cooking, aquariums, or insufficient heating. All daily moisture must be ventilated out effectively.
