Why Mildew Protection Matters

Mold and mildew are fungi that thrive in humid conditions, especially on exterior wood surfaces and in shaded areas. Without protection, these organisms can:

• Cause black, green, or grey discoloration on wood surfaces
• Create unpleasant odors
• Deteriorate wood fibers over time
• Compromise the appearance and integrity of finishes
• Require frequent cleaning and maintenance

With M-1 Protection: The mildewcide creates an inhospitable environment for fungal growth on the dry film, keeping your finish clean and protecting the wood underneath. This is especially important in humid climates, coastal regions, shaded areas, and any location where moisture is present.

Where Mildew Protection is Critical

• Shaded Areas: North-facing surfaces and areas under eaves where sunlight is limited
• Humid Climates: Regions with high humidity and frequent rain
• Coastal Locations: Salt air and moisture create ideal conditions for mildew
• Decks & Fences: Horizontal surfaces that retain moisture
• Bathrooms & Kitchens: Interior wood exposed to steam and moisture

Pro Tips

• Mix M-1 thoroughly into finish before application - settling can occur
• Stir periodically during application to maintain even distribution
• For maximum exterior protection, combine M-1 with UV Blocker additive
• Clean wood surfaces thoroughly before applying mildew-resistant finish
• Reapply finish with M-1 annually or as needed to maintain protection
• M-1 works on the dry film - proper application and curing is essential
