In today’s market, the variety of mold prevention products can be overwhelming, leaving many customers unsure of how to choose the right solution. Even after receiving samples, they often don’t know how to test them scientifically. To assist our clients in making informed decisions, we recommend two simple yet effective mold prevention testing methods. These methods are not only scientifically sound but also easy to perform, especially the transparent plastic container simulation method, which is ideal for easy implementation in both laboratory and production environments.

iHeir is committed to providing one-stop anti-mold solutions. Our core of mold prevention is that no matter how bad the customer's factory environment is or how humid the products are when they are packaged, we can ensure that they will not mold. Our mission is to help customers achieve the goal of 0 mold, otherwise the customer's money will be wasted.

Mold Prevention Testing Method 1: Simulation Test Method
Required Tools: Transparent plastic container and plastic stands


Procedure:

1. Prepare two shoes or two pieces of shoe material. Spray one with iHeir anti-mold agent, and leave the other untreated or spray it with a competitor's mold prevention agent for comparison. Ensure that all surfaces are evenly covered with the agent.
2. Prepare two shoes or two pieces of shoe material. Spray one with iHeir anti-mold agent, and leave the other untreated or spray it with a competitor's mold prevention agent for comparison. Ensure that all surfaces are evenly covered with the agent.
3. Prepare two shoes or two pieces of shoe material. Spray one with iHeir anti-mold agent, and leave the other untreated or spray it with a competitor's mold prevention agent for comparison. Ensure that all surfaces are evenly covered with the agent.
4. Seal the plastic container and label it with the start date.

5. Observe the samples every 7 days, with the complete testing period lasting 28 days.
 

Note: This testing method simulates a humid environment to observe whether the mold-prevented samples can resist mold growth under harsh and damp conditions. The container should be kept in a natural environment; do not place it in an air-conditioned room during testing.

Mold Prevention Testing Method 2: Petri Dish Testing Method
Required Tools: Transparent plastic container, petri dishes (with mold spores)

Procedure:

1. Prepare two pieces of shoe material. Spray one with iHeir mold prevention agent, and leave the other untreated or spray it with a competitor's mold prevention agent for comparison. Ensure that all surfaces are evenly covered with the agent.
2. Place the two samples into separate petri dishes and label them with the type of mold prevention agent used.
3. Place the petri dishes on the pads inside a transparent plastic container with a sufficient amount of water, ensuring the samples do not come into direct contact with the water.
4. Seal the plastic container and label it with the start date.
5. Observe the samples every 7 days, with the complete testing period lasting 28 days.

Conclusion:

Both of these testing methods effectively simulate harsh environments and help clients validate the reliability of iHeir's mold prevention products. Throughout the testing process, clients can clearly observe the performance of mold prevention agents in harsh conditions, providing scientific evidence for selecting the most optimal mold prevention solution. iHeir is committed to offering innovative mold prevention technology that provides superior product protection, ensuring that your products remain mold-free in global markets.
