Breakthrough product offers relief from mold
Siamons International Introduces Concrobium Mold Control to US Market
LAS VEGAS – May 1, 2006 – Siamons International today announced the US availability of an innovative new product to help combat the mold problem that is spreading throughout US homes, schools, offices and institutions.
Concrobium Mold Control™ is a revolutionary new EPA-registered product that offers homeowners and professionals an easy and effective way to stop mold. The patented formula dries on surfaces to create an invisible antimicrobial shield that inhibits and prevents mold, and eliminates musty odors. Concrobium Mold Control contains no bleach, ammonia or volatile organic compounds, and is odorless and colorless.
The new product will be showcased at this week's National Hardware Show, to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Concrobium Mold Control will be displayed at the event's New Product Showcase and booth #20921.
"When it comes to solving a mold problem, traditional disinfectants are inadequate," says Eric Green, President & CEO of Siamons International. "These products do not offer any long term protection against mold re-growth, so users typically see the mold they just removed returning within weeks. In addition, the toxins that these products rely on to kill the fungi are also dangerous to humans, in some cases causing more harm than they prevent. Concrobium Mold Control is unique because it works by mechanical means, physically encapsulating fungi in a patented, invisible film that also continually prevents new spores from taking root and growing."
Ideal for both spot mold control and large jobs, Concrobium Mold Control can also be used during construction or renovation projects to make building materials such as lumber, flooring or drywall mold resistant. For large-scale mold remediation and prevention projects, the product can be fogged to treat an entire room or an inaccessible space, such as a wall cavity or crawlspace.
Mold has emerged as one of the most significant risks facing property owners and tenants today, with surveys showing that up to half of all homes have mold problems. Studies have confirmed that indoor fungi can lead to a variety of health problems including allergies, chronic sinus infections and asthma. Mold has in some cases even been linked to more serious illnesses, particularly among more vulnerable groups such as infants, the elderly, and pregnant women. Mold is doing damage to pocketbooks as well: the North American insurance industry has paid out billions of dollars in mold-related claims in recent years and mold-related litigation has increased exponentially.
Given the health risks and financial costs involved with a mold infestation, remediation professionals and health authorities agree that when it comes to mold, prevention is critical - sound building practices, humidity management and timely clean-up of water damage are all keys to stopping mold before it starts. Concrobium Mold Control offers an additional measure of protection in an easy-to-use product that promises to become an essential part of any successful mold control strategy.
