Research indicates American

adults spend up to 90 percent

of their time indoors, and that

indoor air is two to five times

more polluted than outdoor air.

That’s why National Gypsum has

achieved GREENGUARD Indoor

Air Quality Certified

status

and/or GREENGUARD Children &

Schools Certification

for its

complete line of ProForm

BRAND

ready-mixed joint compounds.

The GREENGUARD Certification

Program

is an industry indepen-

dent, third-party program that

has been certifying products for

low non-toxic emissions since

2001. To achieve GREENGUARD

Indoor Air Quality Certified status,

National Gypsum’s products

passed rigorous sample testing

and review of the manufacturing

processes to meet strict standards

set by the GREENGUARD

Environmental Institute (GEI) – a

globally recognized leader in indoor

air quality – to determine their

impact on indoor air pollution.

The GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified Mark is a registered certification mark

used under license through the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.

Improving indoor air quality to protect the health and

safety of building occupants and meeting the criteria for

EED certification requires a higher standard of quality

and performance. National Gypsum is focused on providing

innovative solutions for sustainable design and green

building practices.
