Sensitive

Make a healthy choice with Gyprock Sensitive. This moisture resistant wall and ceiling plasterboard contains powerful antifungal properties to resist mould and mildew making it the ideal choice for wet areas and the homes of asthma and allergy sufferers.

Product Overview

The drive to create healthy homes led to the development of Sensitive plasterboard, with several important qualities to help protect homeowners and their families. The gypsum core is treated with a powerful but gentle antifungal agent, which penetrates through the paper liner to the subsequent paint coating. The core also contains a wax emulsion to make it highly resistant to moisture and humidity without compromising structural integrity, and the product is classified as low in volatile organic compounds (VOC), meaning it emits fewer chemicals than the acceptable Australian Standard.

Gyprock Sensitive satisfies the requirements of the Building Code of Australia for wet area wall linings in residential buildings.

Typical Applications

Gyprock Sensitive’s powerful but gentle antifungal properties and low VOC make it ideal for use in the homes of asthma and allergy sufferers particularly for areas such as bathrooms, bedrooms, laundries, ensuites and living spaces.

It is also suitable for use in commercial projects where mould can be a concern such as; showers/change rooms, laundries and kitchens, hospital ward bathrooms and soffits.
