February 22, 2008—GSK Innovations, LLC (GSK) is introducing Endurance Bio-Barrier, a two-step mold prevention system consisting of a cleaner/prep agent and the Bio-Door Technology barrier and odor control application.
The company says its effective lifespan as a mold prevention system, outlasts other products by months and even years in effectiveness. Endurance Bio-Barrier applications in difficult environments such as saunas, pools and showers typically last up to six months, building applications typically last five years, and building OEM product applications typically for 10 years, according to the company.
Additionally, Endurance Bio-Barrier is environmentally friendly and water-based without toxic silane, quaternary ammonia salts or triclosan, which are typical ingredients in most anti-mold products.
The cost of mod damage to buildings is estimated at several billion dollars per year, says GSK. After suffering massive losses from mold claims (estimated at $12 billion in 2005), the insurance industry began excluding mold claims from all commercial insurance policies in 2005, the company notes. Since mold infestation can render a building valueless, this shifts the burden of mold prevention and remediation onto the building owner.
