iHeir-JP Bamboo and Wood Anti-Mildew Agent

Product Overview

iHeir-JP is a long-acting antimicrobial treatment agent for natural materials, developed by Ai Hao Er (China) Co., Ltd. It is specifically designed to provide durable, broad-spectrum antifungal, anti-insect, and antibacterial protection for products made from bamboo, wood, rattan, miscanthus, sunflower, grass, and other natural fibers. This product utilizes non-leaching, mechanical杀菌 technology, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional leaching-type fungicides such as susceptibility to microbial resistance and loss of active ingredients. It offers reliable protection for the long-term storage and use of various bamboo and wood products.

Key Features

• • High Process Compatibility: Suitable for batch or continuous production processes. It can be integrated without significantly changing existing processes or equipment, flexibly meeting the needs of different production scales.

  • Non-Leaching Durable Protection: The treatment agent forms a chemical bond with the material surface, preventing leaching, migration, or consumption by microorganisms. This provides superior and long-lasting antimicrobial performance.

  • Unique Mechanical antibacterial Mechanism: Destroys microbial structures through physical action, preventing the development of resistance. Unlike traditional leaching-type agents that rely on chemical toxicity, it remains highly effective and stable even after long-term use.

• Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Efficacy: Excellent inhibition against bacteria (Gram-positive/negative), mold, yeast, algae, etc. Covers common and stubborn strains including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp., Trichoderma sp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, and more.

• Room Temperature Reaction & Good Thermal Stability: Forms chemical bonds with the substrate at room temperature (e.g., during spray treatment). Its efficacy is not easily compromised by subsequent high-temperature environments.

Physical & Chemical Specifications

Main Applications

• Antifungal and anti-insect treatment for natural material products such as bamboo woven goods, wooden items, rattan ware, miscanthus products, sunflower leaf products, grass weaving, etc.

• Roofing materials (e.g., roof panels, roof beams, shingles, shakes), wooden pallets, wooden furniture, building timber components, etc.

Product Benefits

• Prevents Decay & Discoloration: Effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, algae, and yeast, preventing mildew stains, rot, or color degradation in bamboo and wood products.

• Maintains Freshness & Prevents Odors: Blocks the proliferation of odor-causing bacteria, preventing unpleasant smells and keeping products clean-smelling over the long term.

• Extends Service Life: Provides durable antifungal and antibacterial protection, reducing material degradation caused by microbial attack, significantly enhancing product durability.

• Improves Hygiene & Provides Anti-Insect Properties: Makes the surface of bamboo and wood products cleaner and more hygienic, while also offering some insect-repellent function.

• Good Compatibility: Within permitted applications, compatible with various substrates and production processes, without affecting the product’s original performance and appearance.

Application Methods

1. Treatment Procedure

• Immersion Method (Recommended): Completely immerse bamboo, wood, rattan, grass products, etc., into the prepared solution (ensure products are below the liquid surface) until the product weight gain reaches 10% – 20%. Remove, drain excess solution, and air dry or sun dry before packaging and storage.

• Spray or Brush Method: Dilute with water or alcohol at a ratio of 1:10 – 20, mix well. Evenly spray or brush the solution onto the product surface, ensuring complete coverage. Allow to air dry naturally.

• Solution Reusability: The prepared solution is stable and can be reused multiple times without disposal. It is recommended to use within 1 month for optimal efficacy.

2. Antifungal Duration

After immersion or spray treatment, when the treated bamboo/wood product’s moisture content is below 25%, the continuous antifungal effect can last for over 1 year, even in humid, dark, or other harsh environments.

3. Dilution Ratio (for Immersion)

Immersion solution preparation ratio: 1 part iHeir-JP concentrate : 15 parts water (e.g., 1kg antifungal agent + 15kg water)

Precautions

• Shake well after diluting with water before use. Some floating matter on the surface after prolonged standing is normal; shake well before use.

• The diluted solution should ideally be used within 1 month to maintain activity.

• This product complies with REACH environmental requirements. The concentrate has a high solid content. Some individuals may experience skin sensitivity to the concentrate. It is recommended to wear protective equipment such as rubber gloves during handling.

Antifungal Efficacy Test Methods

• Reference Standard: GB/T 18261-2013 “Test method for anti-mildew agents in controlling mould and stain fungi on bamboo and wood”

• Simple Comparative Test: Take two identical bamboo/wood samples. Treat one with iHeir-JP, leave the other untreated or treat with another antifungal agent. Package both samples and place them in a dark, humid environment. Observe and compare antifungal effects after 7 – 15 days.

• Accelerated Test: Place both sample groups in petri dishes containing agar. Place the dishes in a constant temperature and humidity chamber (90% RH, 28°C). Preliminary results can be obtained within 3 – 7 days.

Packaging & Storage

• Packaging Specifications: 25 kg/drum

• Storage Conditions: Protect from moisture, keep away from light, store in a cool environment.

• Shelf Life (Concentrate): 3 years
