Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics Introduces
FibaTape® Mold-X10™ Mold Resistant Drywall Tape
 
(Buffalo, NY) – The world’s first and leading fiberglass mesh drywall tape brand, FibaTape®, has added a new drywall tape to its line that has increased mold resistance. The New FibaTape® Mold-X10™ fiberglass mesh tapehas an anti-microbial coating to actively kill fungus and black mold, which can affect air quality. In fact, FibaTape Mold-X10 has achieved a perfect “10” rating on the ASTM D3273 mold test. It’s the ideal tape to complement moisture-resistant drywall and the increasingly popular mold-resistant paperless drywall market.
 
The benefits of using FibaTape® Mold-X10™ tape includes:
  • Compatible with mold-resistant and paperless drywall systems
 
  • Includes an anti-microbial coating that contains properties to actively repel and kill fungus and black mold.
 
  • Perfect “10” rating on ASTM D3273 mold test (standard test method for resistance to growth of mold on the surface of interior coatings in an environmental chamber)
 
  • Provides more protection against mold than paper tape
 
  • Self-adhesive, requires no pre-bedding coat
 
  • Open mesh design eliminates blisters and bubbles
 
  • Fiberglass mesh increases joint strength and structural integrity
 
 
With an anti-microbial coating and mold resistant properties, FibaTape Mold-X10 helps to promote a clean and safe environment. FibaTape Mold-X10 is also made in the USA so you can be sure that you’re getting a quality product you can depend on.
 
Even with great new benefits, FibaTape Mold-X10 tape still has the same great qualities as our standard fiberglass mesh tape such as the open mesh design which reduces time by eliminating the need for an imbedding coat. The open mesh design also prevents blisters and bubbles which are common when using paper tape.
 
FibaTape Mold-X10 tape is available in 1-7/8” x 300’ rolls. Each roll is shrink-wrapped, labeled, and shipped 12 each per shelf/counter display case. For more information, please contact Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics, 1795 Baseline Road, Grand Island, NY 14072 – Toll Free: 1-800-762-6694.
