PABCO Gypsum partners with Dow Chemical

In a joint study with The Dow Chemical Company, PABCO® Gypsum has completed a long-term mold resistance aging study of the PABCO MOLD CURB® Plus family of products.

All PABCO MOLD CURB Plus products feature FUNGIBLOCK® Technology from The Dow Chemical Company. FUNGIBLOCK is the key mold-resistant additive in PABCO’s paper facings.

Wallboard samples of MOLD CURB® Plus were subjected to varying conditions of temperature and humidity to reflect various environments.

After two years of exposure to these stringent conditions, MOLD CURB® Plus continued to inhibit mold growth with a perfect score of 10 when tested in accordance with ASTM D3273.
