They offer a 12-month exposure warranty, a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and qualify as a low VOC emitting material.
The panels comply with ASTM C1658, C1396, C1177, ASTM E136 (non-combustible gypsum core) and ASTM E84 (flame spread 0, smoke developed 0). They are UL-classified as to fire resistance (Type SGX), surface burning characteristics and non-combustibility and can be used in any UL designs where Type SGX panels are listed. In independent lab tests conducted on SHEETROCK glass-mat panels Mold Tough at the time of manufacture, per ASTM D3273, "Standard Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber," the panels achieved a score of 10, with 10 being the optimal rating.”
