Gyproc presents Activ’Air gypsum board technology, delivering clean air for a better quality of life
Thai Gypsum Products PCL, the first gypsum manufacturer in Thailand and creator of high-quality gypsum innovations under the “Gyproc” brand, presented Gyproc® Activ’Air gypsum board products, its latest innovation for improving air quality and helping enhance the health of building occupants, at the Green Real Estate event, an in-depth real estate business seminar for entrepreneurs
as well as project developers, land/building owners, and architects, with the aim of exchanging information and knowledge to jointly shape the future of the real estate industry in the ASEAN region. The mission was to seek approaches to designing and constructing buildings in Asia that are beneficial to people’s health, use smart technology, and are increasingly environmentally friendly. Mr. Somphon Leelapanang, Product Group Manager, Saint-Gobain Gyproc, served as a keynote speaker at this event.
“On behalf of Gyproc, a leader in improving the quality of life of residents for over half a century, we would like to thank the Green Real Estate event for giving Gyproc the opportunity to take part in this event. As the keynote speaker, Mr. Somphon Leelapanang shared his expertise and discussed the latest trends in the market and construction materials,
emphasizing awareness of the importance of indoor air quality, as well as its impact on people’s health and work performance” said Mr. Sylvain Bedanng, Director and General Manager, Thai Gypsum Products PCL.
“Research indicates that humans spend about 90% of their lives inside buildings, and people often complain about health problems after spending long periods indoors. These issues, including headaches, lack of concentration at work, eye irritation, fatigue, and respiratory problems, may be caused by formaldehyde, even though the indoor air we breathe should be clean, fresh, and free of pollutants just like the air outside buildings.
Nevertheless, airborne contaminants found in both our workplaces and homes can likewise cause health problems and diminish our general living comfort. Recognizing that formaldehyde can cause health issues, Gyproc developed and introduced Gyproc® Activ’Air, a high-performance gypsum board innovation
designed to break down emitted formaldehyde into inert compounds that are harmless to human health, thereby helping to reduce the risk of hazardous substances recirculating inside buildings and helping to make air up to 70% cleaner”
Gyproc® Activ’Air gypsum boards consist of an aerated gypsum core mixed with other additives, firmly bonded together with cover paper. These air-purifying gypsum boards are ideal for installing drywall systems inside buildings, as Gyproc® Activ’Air can improve indoor air quality by permanently and effectively removing formaldehyde circulating within the building, with effectiveness lasting up to 50 years
Even after multiple building renovations, it can continue to purify the air. This gypsum board innovation uses special compounds that have no impact on the environment, health, or the recyclability of the product. This solution is therefore suitable for all types of buildings and applications, whether for ceiling installations, wall panels, partitions, or use with plaster
