*Mold Defense provides extra resistance against the formation of mold, but
no product may be considered "mold proof." The most effective way to avoid
the formation of mold and mildew in drywall products is to limit or avoid water
exposure during storage and construction, and after construction is complete.
Used in combination with appropriate design, handling, construction and
installation practices, Mold Defense drywall can provide increased mold and
mildew resistance on its surface and in its core. ASTM D3273 is the "Standard Test
Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an
Environmental Chamber" and is performed under controlled, laboratory conditions.
Actual storage, handling, construction and installation conditions may vary from
the environment created in the independent lab, and the use of the product in
actual conditions may not replicate the ASTM results.
