Teflex (for Wood) – water-soluble polymeric protector andwood preservative. Mold has been a notable part of the human lifestyle since we first appeared on this planet. There are more than 100,000 species of mold and at least 1,000 verities are a common occurrence in our living environment. As such, mold and mold spores are everywhere. The air we breathe is a virtual jungle of fungal spores and we are constantly encountering dangerous mold spores as a part of everyday life. There are a host of materials in and around a house that, under proper conditions, can become a breeding ground for mold. Molds require four things for growth: food, suitable temperature, oxygen and moisture. In certain situations, wood can provide the necessary elements to allow mold to grow. Wood is organic, consisting of biological materials such as cellulose and lignin. Since wood fiber comes from a living tree, it also contains sugars, starches and proteins that can serve as a food source for mold.
