Test is conducted by placing a sample of material on a surface of agar and sprayed with fungi spore. The sample is then covered and incubated at 82 to 86°F (28 to 30°C) and not less then a 85% relative humidity for minimum 28 days. The only potential nutrient is the sample itself. If the sample is not attacked by fungi then the material is considered mold and mildew resistant. The material is then given a rating of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 with 0 being the best. In order to better serve our customers, Hilti subjects all of its firestop and construction chemical products to the ASTM G-21 test. Testing for Mold Resistance The above listed Hilti products have received an ASTM G-21 rating of 0. Hilti firestop and chemical construction products not listed here have been tested for ASTM G21, many of them receiving an ASTM G-21 rating of 1. A rating of 1 represents a significantly small amount of growth (less than 10%) and is generally considered mold and mildew resistant. Please ask your local Hilti representative for more information.
