Technical Report
EVALUATION OF LONGEVITY FOR
FORTICEL™ MOLD PREVENTION COATING
FOR BUILDING MATERIALS
Test Purpose
The purpose of the reported data in this bulletin is to evaluate the long term efficacies of FortiCelTM, a product of
Protective Coatings Group, LLC, designed to prevent the promotion of mold growth on construction products including
wood, concrete, and sheetrock. Material samples were collected and treated with FortiCel™ according to the
manufacturer's recommended application rate and then subjected to the testing criteria defined in the following protocol.
Test Overview
Pieces of kiln dried pine dimensional lumber were cut from normal stock and prepared in a manner consistent with building
materials. Two samples, each a 2" x 4" x 18" long were prepared to act as untreated controls and two additional prepared and
coated on all sides with FortiCelTM applied using an ALLPRO 300T HVLP gun.
These samples were then soaked for a period of 8 days in Distilled Water to determine release rate of one of the active
ingredients. Release rates were consistent for 1 and 8 days which would be expected given the volume of water, 10L, used and
the ion exchange nature of the active ingredient being measured. Samples of the distilled water were then bottled and sent for
analysis by ACZ Laboratories of Steamboat Springs, CO. The liquid was then digested according to EPA Method M200.2 for
total digestion via a hot plate and then the resulting material analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry
(ICP-MS) according to EPA Method M200.8.
Results
The raw results of these tests, measured in mg/L/day, are shown in the following table:
Sample Label
Results (mg/L/day)

From these release rates you can calculate the expected longevity based on the total amount of active ingredient present in the
coated surface (a factor based on the load rate in the percent solids left in the thickness of coating applied) and dividing that by
the result above, taking into account the surface area treated and the volume of water used. In this calculation the results are
as follows:

Sample Label
The purpose of the reported data in this bulletin is to evaluate the efficacy of FortiCel™, a product of Protective Coatings
Group, LLC, designed to prevent the promotion of mold growth on construction products including wood, and concrete
using ASTM D3273-94. Material samples were collected and treated with FortiCel™ according to the manufacturer's
recommended application rate and then subjected to the testing criteria defined in the appropriate ASTM specification.
Pieces of CDX Plywood and Dimensional Lumber were cut from normal stock and prepared in a manner consistent with
building materials. Each sample was prepared and coated on all sides with the FortiCel™ coating at a rate recommended by
the manufacturer and applied using an ALLPRO 300T HVLP sprayer. The treated samples were then tested according to ASTM
D3273, a standard test method for resistance to growth of mold on interior coatings in an environmental chamber. The tests
were conducted by EMSL Analytical, Inc. in a controlled test chamber with a temperature of 32.5 +/- 1ºC and a humidity of
95% to 98% containing soil inoculated with Aureobasidium pullulans ATCC 9348, Aspergillus niger ATCC 6275 and
Penicillium citrinum ATCC 9849.
After a 4-week incubation period the samples were examined for visible effects of mold growth according to ASTM D-3274
which uses photographic reference standards that provides a numerical rating system from 0 to 10, with 10 indicating a
sample totally absent of mold. A rating of 8 indicates a slight amount of growth (less than 10%), 5 indicates moderate growth
(30-50%), 3 indicates heavy growth, and a zero rating indicates full coverage of mold growth (greater than 90%).
Results for the evaluation of the submitted samples are shown in the following table:

Dear Lenny,
This is a final report from MouldWorks on our evaluation your FortiCel
protective coating.
We evaluated the ability of material to inhibit
germination and/or growth of 15 different commonly occurring interior
molds.
Mold infestations in houses are established by spores which are deposited
from the air, brought in by water intrusions, or disseminated by insects
and mites. In virtually all cases infestations occur when spores germinate
and grow within or on common construction materials such as OSB,
dimensional lumber, drywall, or insulation. If spores cannot germinate
and grow on protective coatings, then they cannot serve to initiate mold
colonization within a building. The MouldWorks protocol for evaluating
the resistance of coatings to molds involves an assessment of spore
germination in 15 species of common household molds under laboratory
conditions which simulate those that may occur in buildings prior to
appearance of mold problems. These spores came from cultures of molds
isolated by us from samples sent to MouldWorks for analysis – bulks,
tapelifts, and viable spore plates. For the most part these cultures were
isolated within the last 6 months.
When cultures show signs of
senescence and loss of vigor, we replace them with recent isolates.
FortiCel was sprayed onto the surfaces of dry filter papers. When the
coating had dried for 2-3 days, about ½ ml of spore suspension
containing ca. 1 million spores/ml in a nutrient solution was placed on
the surface of each coated paper and spread with a sterile cotton swab.
The inoculated filter papers were then placed on the surfaces of water
agar plates, and spore germination was monitored for 2 weeks. We did
this by taking tapelifts from the surfaces of inoculated coatings and
looking for signs of spore germination under the compound microscope.
Control filter papers coated with black enamel spray paint and placed in
water agar plates were inoculated with the same 15 mold species used for
the test coatings.
These controls tested both for spore viability on non-coated agar and on a
non-toxic coating, since some of the spores placed on the filter paper
always moved in water films onto the surrounding
agar. After two weeks spore germination was scored and tabulated. The
results from these tests are shown in the table below.

Conclusions
The FortiCel coating completely prevented any germination of spores
within the 15 species tested. Each species were tested independently to
evaluate the effect of the coating by spore type. This conclusive data
indicates that the coating is sufficiently capable of preventing mold
growth on the coating surface of each of the tested species.
Mold spores which are incapable of germinating will become completely
non-viable and therefore no longer represent recurring threat of growth.
All test conducted were without the supervision or influence of Protective
Coatings Group, LLC, which allowed for the studies to be independently
evaluated without undue influence or bias by any outside party.
The MouldWorks Mold Spore Germination Test protocol is a proprietary
testing method of MouldWorks. The protocol was developed to provide
extreme test measures that better represent real world conditions beyond
all existing ASTM protocols for microbial testing. It is believed by
MouldWorks that a determination of growth as reflected in ASTM is not
sufficient to predict long term results and that the proper evaluation
should be measured by the ability to prevent germination.

George Carroll, Ph.D.

Mr. Ray
Here is a short story for you on how your product FortiCel saved us twice on the
same house.
We were in the process of building a 5,000 square foot home in the Lake Norman
area, when a sales representative of yours came by and talked to us. We were
not a hard sell as far as understanding the need for some type of mold and
mildew preventative.
We have all heard the horror stories concerning mold and mildew health issues
and the way it can turn any home into an un-sellable pile of wood. I was a hard
sell however, when it came to being assured we were using a safe product, as
you know from our conversations and the conversations I’ve had with your
chemists. Once convinced we were applying a product that would have no
adverse affects on our house or our clients, your product was applied to our new
construction.
Well, I was fortunate to sell the house to a gentleman from Las Vegas before
completion. Before closing however, (and while I was out of town), our painters
left the outside water faucet continually running on newly backfilled soil for hours
and hours. Needless to say, it ran right down the side of the house. As luck
would have it our French drains diverted most of the water, but a certain amount
did make it under the basement slab, right under a dark storage closet in a
corner of the basement. We did not have carpet down but moisture still came up
through the concrete and proceeded to create mold and mildew on the finish
lumber and sheetrock.
One of our client’s friends came by the house to check the progress and
discovered the problem. The client just happened to be a real estate agent in
Las Vegas who was aware of the issues concerning mold and mildew. They
informed me there would be no way they would purchase the house with mold
possibly growing in the wall and floor cavities to the first floor and would be
backing out of the deal.

Plain and simply, the fact the house had been treated with FortiCel and it was
backed with the warranty, saved the day. I sent the information to the client on
FortiCel and after he checked into it, he felt comfortable with proceeding with the
closing.
A few weeks ago, I received a call from the same client. He only uses this house
once every few months and walked into the basement to find the carpet wet and
mold growing on the baseboards and up the sheetrock. This area had a
community well water supply with guaranteed psi ratings, making individual
pressure regulators un-necessary.
Sadly, all the houses at the end of the lines were bombarded with over 125 psi of
water pressure when a regulator malfunctioned. The hot water heater had
released more gallons than the drain pan could handle flooding the basement.
Unfortunately, no one was home to discover the problem until the client came in
from out of town.
When the company that cleans up water damage came in, they warned me that
based on the mold and mildew they were seeing I was going to have problems
inside the wall cavities. I informed them I was confident I would, not only have
no mold on the studs but that I wouldn’t have anything on the floor plates either.
They mentioned places that were a lot better than this one and found plenty of
mold and mildew in the wall cavities.
Okay, I had an unfair advantage knowing the house was treated with FortiCel, it
was still fun seeing their faces when the framing was exposed and it looked as
good as the day it was put in.
What more could you possibly ask in pay back from a product? The grief and
expense it saved me on this one house will more than cover the application
expense for many houses to come. Coupled with the fact it is an excellent selling
tool, as we are one of the few taking the necessary steps to combat the growing
mold and mildew issues facing our industry.
FortiCel will be applied to every house Haven Custom Homes, Inc. builds, no
matter how big or small, in the future!
Sincerely,
Sharon F Vogler
