U.S. Gypsum Works to Address Moisture ConcernsIn response to concerns that building products can support the growth of mold and mildew when they become wet, the U.S. Gypsum Company has developed a product that it says is resistant to moisture and mold.
A new product line of wall panels — SHEETROCK® Brand HUMITEK™ Gypsum Panels — features a non-combustible, moisture- and mold-resistant gypsum core encased in a moisture-resistant face and back paper made from 100% recycled materials.
USG says that it manufactures a host of other products that are designed to address the moisture control issue, and this has been part of its business strategy for more than 100 years.
The company’s in-depth library of product and system literature, toll-free customer phone number for technical advice and service (800-USG-4YOU) and “The Gypsum Construction Handbook” are all designed to provide timely assistance and solutions to its customers.
U.S. Gypsum has also created a special section on its Web site that is devoted to the subject of moisture and mold as well as SHEETROCK® Brand HUMITEK™ Gypsum Panels.
This information is also available by calling the 800 telephone number above or writing to: United States Gypsum Company, 125 S. Franklin St., Chicago, IL 60606-4678.
