Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Here is my question about this stuff. In the house I was exposed in stacky was found in the drywall. This was not revealed until the drywall was torn out because there was no visible damage on the outside. The growth was in fact in the gypsum (or whatever) and not on the paper. I have questioned this since i heard about this new type drywall. Since it was brought up if anyone has a logical explination to this I would like to hear it. <smarshwar@...> wrote: I just saw a TV ad for this stuff: http://www.gp.com/build/product.aspx?pid=4659 They specifically promote it as preventing mold growth and comment that regular drywall has paper on each side, which mold loves to eat. Life is a balance of holding on and letting go... --------------------------------- Luggage? GPS? Comic books? Check out fitting gifts for grads at Search.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 , Dens Armor Plus seems to be a good product for bathrooms/kitchens, etc., because structurally, it does seem like it would not grow mold. In looking into it a few years back for our house, we did find that, at the time, the fiberglass fibers in it were bound by glues that contained urea-formaldehyde. This may have changed. It took us a few tries at talking to technicians to get this info. But I have MCS, so we wanted to know. We were going to put it throughout our whole house and didn't. Now I see they have the Greenguard certification for low VOC content. it may be that the formaldehyde is so minimal, it is almost negligable. Or, they may have changed the glue. ?? Worth checking into! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
