Sensitive Choice®

approved products

Mould can produce millions of spores that can easily become airborne and can be a dangerous asthma trigger as well as causing a range of respiratory symptoms. Even the best constructed buildings can suffer from mould and mildew especially in humid climates and when parts of the building are not well ventilated.

Gyprock’s Sensitive Choice® approved plasterboard has been repeatedly tested to the internationally recognised film fungal resistance measure ASTM G21 and showed zero mould growth more than 2 years after being inoculated with a mixed fungal spore suspension. Ultra-Base 60 has also been tested to this standard with the same zero-growth result.

Mould Facts

VOC FactsVolatile organic compounds are chemicals that evaporate at room temperature, releasing molecules into the air. VOCs are in many products found in our living spaces including carpets, paint and furniture and can be very irritating for asthma and allergy sufferers. Indoor air quality is vital for home occupants, and various environmental assessment bodies stipulate safe limits on the amount of VOCs that products used in buildings should generate.

All Gyprock plasterboard and jointing compounds have well below the GBCA limits of VOC.

Gyprock has led the market with the development of high performance plasterboards with exceptionally low VOC levels. In 2011, Gyprock introduced a highly effective mould resistant additive to produce Gyprock EC08™ Complete - a 13mm and 16mm plasterboard designed for specialised commercial projects where indoor environment quality is vital. EC08 Complete is also fire and acoustic rated, with high levels of moisture and impact resistance. Architects and designers specify and trust Gyprock EC08 Complete for commercial projects where hygiene is essential such as hospitals, aged care and education projects.

The most recent Gyprock plasterboard to receive Sensitive Choice® approval is Gyprock Sensitive - a revolutionary, hypoallergenic 10mm plasterboard designed for use in residential projects where mould and moisture resistance is required.
