Pegasus Completes First Phase Testing of Non-Toxic, Environmentally Friendly, Mold & Mildew Resistant, Water-Based Paint for a Growing $10 Billion Market
Pegasus Pharmaceuticals (PINKSHEETS: PGUZ) today announced that it has recently developed and tested a
non-toxic, environmentally friendly additives package to make water-based
paints mold and mildew resistant. The concept of this product extension is
based on Pegasus' patented, laboratory-proven biological, anti-mold and
mildew product, Mold Gone(TM).
Pegasus is committed to the global battle against toxic mold in both the
consumer and industrial markets. The Company has teamed up with several of
the world's leading paint manufacturers in order to participate in a new
market direction to develop mold and mildew resistant products which focus
on preservation, safety, the environment and economic efficiencies. Paint
manufacturers are now answering the demand for environmentally safe
water-based paints, which has a rapidly growing, worldwide market valued at
more than $10 billion USD in 2008.
In the most recent tests conducted by an independent laboratory, drywall
material was painted with newly formulated mold and mildew resistant paint.
The same paint sample without Mold Gone(TM) was used as the control. Mold
suspension was sprayed over the painted drywall. The suspension consisted
of equal volumes of 5 mold spore suspensions from 100,000 to 200,000 spores
per ml. Drywall with a concentration of 1,000,000 spores per square inch
was incubated for 30 days in a high humidity chamber at 28-30°C, and were
examined weekly for visible effects of mold growth. The drywall painted
with mold and mildew resistant paint containing Pegasus' additives package
had no sign of mold growth 30 days after the treatment with mold spores.
The control sample without the additive package showed moderate mold growth
at the end of the first week, and had heavy mold growth during the second
week and the subsequent weeks thereafter. Pegasus Pharmaceuticals will
continue with a thorough testing program of its water-soluble paints
additive package in the coming months in preparation for the commercial
applications of water-soluble paints for the world market.
Pegasus' Mold Gone(TM) product represents a breakthrough in mold control
technology. It has demonstrated a remarkable 100% efficiency rate (0% mold
growth) over a 100-day period and far outperformed four other leading U.S.
anti-mold products. The product's active ingredients are non-toxic,
biodegradable and are naturally occurring. The product represents a new
era in anti-microbial, anti-fungal protection because it not only removes
black mold infestation, it also cleans and disinfects surfaces, preventing
further mold spore growth in residential, commercial or institutional
applications.
