Company’s Full Line of Interior Gypsum Wallboard Panel Products Meet the
Industry’s Most Stringent Indoor Air Quality Standards
American Gypsum, a leading gypsum wallboard manufacturer based in
Dallas, TX, announced today that its complete line of interior gypsum
panel products has achieved the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified®
status and GREENGUARD Children & SchoolsSM Certification.
The GREENGUARD Certification ProgramSM is an
industry-independent, third-party program that has been certifying
products for low non-toxic emissions since 2001. To attain GREENGUARD
Indoor Air Quality Certified status, American Gypsum’s wallboard
products passed thorough sample testing and review of the manufacturing
processes to meet exacting standards set by the GREENGUARD Environmental
Institute (GEI) – an internationally renowned leader in indoor air
quality – to establish their impact on indoor air pollution. Then to
qualify for the GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification, the panels,
including our family of M-Bloc® products, met even more rigorous
emissions limits that take into account the added sensitivity of
children and adults with compromised immune systems.
“Design professionals, contractors and consumers can confidently select
any American Gypsum interior gypsum panel product knowing it has
achieved the industry’s most stringent indoor air quality standards,”
said Bob Ek, Technical Service Manager.
