G-P Gypsum Introduces Next Generation Densarmor(TM) Plus Paperless Interior Wallboard
Offers Moisture And Mold Resistance; Finishes Like Regular Wallboard
ATLANTA - G-P Gypsum introduces the next generation of DensArmor(TM) Plus, the company's moisture- and mold-resistant paperless interior wallboard. Enhanced DensArmor Plus panels feature a new glass mat facing that finishes like paper-faced wallboard. The result is the first completely paperless interior wallboard that offers moisture and mold resistance and finishes easily.
In 2002, G-P Gypsum made history with the introduction of the industry's first moisture-and mold-resistant interior wallboard. By removing the organic paper face and back found on standard wallboard and replacing both with inorganic glass mats, the company succeeded in developing the only paperless interior wallboard product offered in the market that effectively eliminates a known food source for mold.
"Advances in G-P Gypsum's patented glass mat Dens Guard® technology have made it possible for us to manufacture the next generation of DensArmor Plus interior wallboard," said Dave Fleiner, president of G-P Gypsum. "This truly revolutionary product finishes like paper-faced drywall while providing important resistance to moisture and the consequent mold growth. Builders and contractors will appreciate the finishing ease and homeowners and building owners will appreciate the moisture- and mold-resistant benefits."

The core of DensArmor Plus is also reinforced with inorganic glass fibers, increasing its strength. And organic materials in the core have been significantly reduced. Combined with the inorganic glass mats on the face and back, the product features greater moisture resistance, mold resistance (when tested, as manufactured, per ASTM D 3273), long-term durability and dimensional stability than traditional wallboard.
