I have a bad black mould problem and am going to have to redecorate several rooms.... I have found some Dulux trade antifungal white emulsion which will do the ceilings but would like to do something about the walls. Does anyone know of an additive that could be added to standard emulsions, or a treatment that would use to inhibit the return of the mould. I've spent a lot of effort with mould cleaner and scrubbing to remove it and I would like to keep it away as long as possible.
That's the wrong fix. You need to find out why it's forming and cure the cause. Most likely it's condensation, caused by poor ventilation and/or excessive moisture production and/or uneven heating and/or poor insulation.
Yes we have dealt with the cause, as you say it is condensation. The concrete floors have been sealed, polystyrene added to the external walls, and extra air bricks added... The thing is that once you've got the spores they come back... The ceilings are artex so it is a sod to clean once the mould comes back... Even to a small degree so I want to finish things off with paint that may discourage the mould as some small amounts of condensation does return.
I assume that this special Dulux paint is only available in white? If that is the problem, you could always use the same but add pigments as needed. Not sure what is availabkle where but I have seen some suitable pigments in some of the sheds. (It is not entirely impossible that a paint shop might use their colour mixer facility to help you.) Obviously limits the range of colours compared with the full ranges available in 'normal' paints and it might take a bit of experimentation.

Does it still come with matching foil hat and underwear?
Well there's a first, useful info arising from 6yr old thread resurrection spam.
You gotta love Big Clive, he's up to all sorts of interesting stuff. Careful attention to soldering required so as to avoid creating your own lead rich drink :-)
I certainly will be avoiding that Silver Shield crap like the plague.

The above is bollix. You have a damp problem that needs to be eliminated.. (Probably condensation.) Probably by ventilation, at source is best. (extractor fans in showers/cooker hoods. etc.) You might want to look at the house insulation in general too.
To get rid of the black mould, you can buy an algicide from any builders merchant. Or even bleach. Some algicides are persistent (hence lastlonger) Then redecorate. using anti fungal paint is good
Used as directed it can produce some "intersting" (Chinese usage) effects - see agryia. Used to be an uncommmon industrial disease of silver miners and workers who were insufficiently respectful of it.

Now it is appearing in New Age worried well health freaks!
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful Good product if it works, quick delivery. By Trevor on 24 Sep 2014 Verified Purchase Quick delivery and I've now added this product to internal bathroom and bed room ceilings, bedroom walls and outside walls mixed in with Dulux WeatherS hield. Only time will tell if it works OK, hope to add post by December on inside walls and ceilings as we'd normally experience mould by that time of year.
What's really good about this product, (if it works), is that you can mix i t with any colour paint whereas the Ronseal anti-mould paint only comes in white as far as I'm aware, and the Dulux bathroom products with it built it are a bit pricey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anti Bacterial Paint costs about £80 for 5 litres..... .., 1 Mar 2013 By Mr. Harry Palmer "Kitchen Painter" (West London) - See all my reviews This review is from: Silver Shield Antibacterial Paint Additive (Misc.) All of the big paint makers sell an antibacterial paint. Many of them, all fully tested contain zillions of "Silver Ions". Silver has been used for ce nturies to protect from bacteria, the Egyptians stored water in silver cont ainers to prevent algie and contamination. Cowboys in the Texas cattle ranc hes used to put Silver Dollars into the water barrels to keep the water fre sh. They didn't know why it worked, it just did. To buy paint with a silver content that will kill almost all bacteria and v irus incuding MRSA, E-Coli and others, in fact more than 99.99% of germs th at come into contact with the painted surface, will cost around £80 for a 5 litre can, the same paint without the silver ion content is about half t he price. Other manufacturers, non-brand names such as DIY store "own brands" only co st about £15 to £20 pounds for 5 litres. Many are very good paints, was hable, nice colours and coat well with only one or two coats. You can convert this "cheaper" paint into Antibacterial Paint by adding Sil ver Shield Antibacterial Paint Additive, it's colourless, easy to mix in an d concentrated to match or outperform even the most expensive brands. For u nder £15 including P&P for the additive and £20 for the paint you'll ha ve top quality antibacterial paint of your choice for only about £35. tha t's well under half price !! Happy decorating.
