A drywall test should show a difference between a known domestic drywall and suspected tainted drywall. Quality control comparison involves the photo documentation of known domestic drywall and the suspected drywall.The high purity dispersion/suspension solvent must be proven to be free of contaminates. Two recoveries from drywall samples are compared to show consistence in the recovery. Tainted - Domestic
Tainted drywall is easy to distinguish with our drywall testing methods. Domestic drywall has certain characteristics that are consistent and easily distinguishable with the unaided eye when properly prepared. A drywall that is tainted will react and separate differently than domestic drywall when dissolved in high purity dispersion/suspension solvent. Color is a major indicator of both tainted and domestic drywall. Tainted drywall in solution is gray in color. Domestic drywall is a creamy beige. Separated impurities are early seen and photographed in tainted drywall.

Chinese drywall is causing problems with everything from homeowner's health to damaged appliances. Drywall imported between 2004-2006 from certain areas in China can release sulfur-like odorous compounds. The extent of the indoor air quality issues related to this is still unclear. EPA is currently investigating the severity of the problem. However, it is well known that exposure to sulfur compounds can create irritation and breathing disorders. Test your drywall today!

Drywall test materials required: 3-well Petri Dishes Measuring cups 3X3 glass slides High purity dispersion/suspension solvent American made drywall less than 4 years old 3 M pixel Digital Microscope camera Microscope with 200x optical	Drywall Test Order Form       3 M pixel Digital Microscope camera
American and suspected drywall are prepared, ground and sieved. No paper or adhesive is allowed in the sample. 10 ml of drywall material is required.
High purity dispersion/suspension solvent 30 ml for testing drywall and 5 ml for Quality Control.
Ready Preliminary recovery:
Tainted drywall will have a color difference from domestic drywall.
When the drywall and the high purity dispersion/suspension solvent are properly combined, Tainted drywall will have a thin particulate granular float of material not found is domestic drywall. Domestic drywall will have a milky beige particulate float.
The float of each drywall sample is segregated into separate wells of the petri dish. The measured 5 ml of high purity dispersion/suspension solvent is in the 3rd well QC for purity. The sample must stand and dispersion solvent allowed to naturally evaporate.
The sample naturally evaporated. Results
Ready secondary recovery: The samples are agitated and a creamy flotsam will appear on the top of the domestic drywall sample. The suspected tainted sample will have a thin clear flotsam.
3X3 glass slides
The samples of flotsam are now poured on a 3X3 slide and allowed to dry naturally.  The tainted drywall sample is transparent while the domestic drywall sample is opaque.
