Not a cleaning product — a permanent surface defense system

SEC.01 The threat

Black mould is not a maintenance issue. It is a health and liability crisis.

Stachybotrys chartarum — black mould — is a toxigenic fungus that colonises moisture-stressed surfaces within 72 hours of water exposure. It does not require standing water. Elevated humidity, condensation and inadequate surface protection are sufficient conditions for growth.

Once established, black mould releases mycotoxins into the air. Prolonged exposure causes progressive respiratory damage, neurological effects and immune suppression. Children and elderly occupants face disproportionate risk.

For commercial operators, the consequences extend beyond occupant health. Mould compromises surface integrity, accelerates material degradation and constitutes a documented breach of duty of care under building and occupational-health regulations across the UAE, GCC and Europe. Insurance claims, reputational damage and asset-value reduction follow.

The only reliable defence is prevention — surface treatment applied before colonisation occurs.

The PROTEVIA response

PROTEVIA is applied to surfaces before colonisation occurs — a durable barrier that inhibits mould and fungal growth without biocides, for the long term.

SEC.02 What PROTEVIA does

Precision against the conditions that cause hygiene failure.

Three interlocking capabilities. Applied once. Working continuously.

01

Anti-mould protection

PROTEVIA inhibits the formation and growth of mould on treated surfaces. The protection is built into the surface layer — not a topical spray that washes away. It remains active through normal cleaning cycles and commercial use.

ActionInhibits mould formation
DurationLong-duration
02

Anti-fungal defense

Beyond mould, PROTEVIA addresses the broader spectrum of fungal contamination — including the organisms responsible for surface degradation in kitchens, food production and spaces under persistent moisture stress.

ActionInhibits fungal growth
Biocide contentWithout biocides ✓
03

Hygiene surface protection

PROTEVIA reduces the conditions under which biofilm and microbial contamination establish on commercial surfaces — a measurably cleaner surface baseline that supports hygiene-audit compliance and lowers maintenance intensity.

ActionReduces biofilm conditions
ApplicationProfessional only
Engineering origin

PROTEVIA is formulated and quality-controlled in Germany to the technical standards required for demanding commercial environments. Brand ownership and IP are held by SilverVision AG, Switzerland.

SEC.03 Applications

Built for environments where hygiene failure has consequences.

01

Hospitality

Hotels, resorts and serviced apartments operate under brand hygiene standards that cannot tolerate visible mould or surface degradation. Back-of-house areas, wet rooms, spa zones and pool surrounds carry persistent moisture risk. PROTEVIA is applied at fit-out or planned maintenance to maintain surface integrity across the property.

Hotels · Resorts · Serviced apartments
02

Commercial kitchens

Food-preparation surfaces, kitchen walls and ceilings operate under mandatory hygiene inspection. Moisture, heat and organic residue create ideal conditions for colonisation. PROTEVIA supports food-safety compliance and reduces the risk of failed inspections — without introducing biocide compounds into food-prep areas.

Restaurants · Catering · Hotel kitchens
03

Bakeries & food production

High-humidity baking environments place surfaces under continuous moisture stress. Production areas, cold storage and packaging zones require consistent protection against mould and fungal contamination that can compromise product safety and regulatory standing.

Bakeries · Cold storage · Production
04

Facilities management

FM operators managing multi-asset portfolios require scalable, documentable hygiene solutions. PROTEVIA integrates into scheduled preventive maintenance and produces treatment records that support audit trails, property inspections and asset-protection reporting across sites.

FM portfolios · Property · Asset mgmt
05

Healthcare & clinics

Medical and clinical environments carry zero tolerance for microbial surface contamination. PROTEVIA provides a durable anti-mould and anti-fungal surface baseline — supplementing standard cleaning protocols and supporting infection-control programmes where surface integrity is a clinical requirement.

Clinics · Medical centres · Labs
06

Commercial real estate

Office towers, retail units and mixed-use developments where moisture infiltration and surface degradation reduce asset value. PROTEVIA is applied at fit-out or remediation stage as a documented surface-protection measure — relevant to property transactions, landlord obligations and long-term asset management.

SEC.04 How it gets applied

From surface assessment to long-duration protection.

PROTEVIA is not self-applied. Every treatment follows a controlled five-stage process carried out by trained professionals.

STAGE 01

Surface assessment

Existing moisture levels, surface conditions and contamination risk are assessed before any treatment begins. This determines the correct preparation protocol and application method for the specific environment.

STAGE 02

Surface preparation

Existing mould, fungi and contamination are removed and surfaces treated to ensure optimal adhesion. Preparation quality is critical to long-term performance — this step cannot be skipped.

STAGE 03

PROTEVIA application

Applied by authorised professionals using approved methods. Dosing, coverage and technique are controlled to manufacturer specification. Application is logged and documented at this stage.

STAGE 04

Curing & inspection

The treated surface cures to specification. A post-application inspection confirms coverage and quality. A treatment record is issued — suitable for FM audit trails and compliance files.

STAGE 05

Ongoing performance

PROTEVIA works continuously from application. Periodic review inspections can be scheduled as part of a preventive maintenance programme. Re-application intervals depend on surface, environment and traffic.

PROTEVIA is available through authorised regional distribution and application partners. It is not sold for self-application. Enquire about authorised applicators
