The wall covering remains in a moist state in contact with the air for a long time, thus forming a vicious cycle process of "dry → wet → dry → wet", causing the anti-mildew molecules in the adhesive product itself to continuously volatilize and destroy , when the anti-mold molecules are volatilized or destroyed to the point where they lose their anti-mold effect, the bacteria will have the ability to grow and the space to reproduce, thus forming mold.

2. Water seepage from the wall

Some wall coverings are prone to mold because they were originally constructed to remove water seepage from the wall itself. Wall covering construction is carried out when the moisture content of the wall itself is too high and not completely dry. After construction, the moisture in the wall cannot evaporate and directly seeps out. During the continuous penetration process, the moisture carries alkaline and other harmful substances in the wall. , causing anti-fungal molecules that directly damage adhesive products.
