Dens Interior Gypsum Panel Products Pass Mold Resistance Test

Georgia-Pacific Gypsum LLC has once again raised the standard of excellence in the building products industry, as two of its premier Dens(TM) interior gypsum panel products have passed the industry’s most stringent mold resistance test. DensArmor Plus® High-Performance Interior Panel and DensShield® Tile Backer each passed the 12-week test, conducted in accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s ASTM D 6329 protocol. The test — three times longer and much more rigorous than ASTM D 3273, the current industry standard — was conducted by an independent third party, RTI International, at its facilities in Research Triangle Park, N.C., between February and June 2009. No other gypsum products manufacturer has announced test results showing zero mold growth for 12 full weeks for any product.
