Question from Daisy
We’re renovating our house and I’m wondering about Moldex mold-inhibiting paint for the bathrooms? I saw it in a “green” products store, but I’d like to know how this paint compares to other paints as far as VOC’s or other problem ingredients.
Debra’s Answer
Well, it looks fine to me. The MSDS for Moldex Paint lists NO regulated hazardous chemicals and the mold-inhibiting agent is a silver, which does not outgas.
So fine with me if you want to use this.
In my bathroom I used colored clay plaster from [American Clay Plaster]=Naomi find listing on Debra’s List for link. It’s just made from natural minerals and has no petroleum ingredients at all. It absorbs moisture and then releases it, so mold doesn’t get created in the first place. That’s a more natural approach.
