| Abstract |
This study discuss the antifungal performance of antifungal mortars with various organic and inorganic antifungal agent on the five kinds of mold: Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans, Gliocladium virens and Penicillium pinophilum, which can be easily discovered in the interiors and exteriors of buildings. Various antifungal mortars using organic and inorganic antifungal agents were made in this study, and the antifungal performance, the durability of antifungal activity and chemical stability of them were investigated. As the results, the antifungal mortar with 10% Df-45 of organic antifungal agent exhibited the outstanding antifungal activity as well as the durability of antifungal activity. The antifungal mortars with inorganic antifungal agents presented overall the low antifungal activity and durability of antifungal activity, relatively. |
