OTTO anti mould - the causes for mould attacks

Causes for mould attack

Continuous relative humidity levels of over 70%.

Sustention for moulds, e. g. organic deposits in the form of body care products, soap residue and scurf.

Primary attack

In the case of primary attack the mould initially grows only in the organic deposits on the surface of the sealant and can be combated with Anti-Schimmelspray (Anti-mould spray).

Secondary attack

In the case of secondary attack the mould grows into the sealant.

In this case the sealant must first be removed by mechanical means and then completely eliminated with
OTTO SilOut (OTTO SilOut silicone remover).

Before reapplying the sealant, the affected joint area should be thoroughly cleaned and treated with anti-mould spray in order to kill existing fungal spores.
