ComfortGuard water- and mold-resistant gypsum board is manufactured with the TemShield mold-protection system integrated into its facers and core. And unlike fiberglass-faced products, ComfortGuard’s superior surface smoothness ensures trouble-free finishing without added prep. Installation is fast, easy and efficient every time. Produced in 1/2" and fire-resistant 5/8" thicknesses, 48" and 54" widths and lengths of 8', 10', and 12', ComfortGuard is suitable for a broad range of commercial and residential applications.
Product Specifications:
Typical Applications*:
Fire Resistance of 5/8" Type X Panels:
This material has been fire tested in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E119 and therefore may provide a fire rating of one or more hours, depending on the system in which it is applied. Because ASTM procedures require that fire tests be conducted on complete building assemblies/systems and not just on the board itself, the ability of any particular 5/8" Type X gypsum board to pass a specific ASTM fire test may well depend on factors other than the fire resistance of the gypsum board being tested. These factors include the other components used to construct the building system being tested, the manner in which the system is constructed and the inherent variability of ASTM fire tests.

Mold and Mildew Resistance:
In addition to the demonstrated performance properties of Temple-Inland's traditional regular and fire-resistant gypsum board products, ComfortGuard provides an enhanced water- and mold-resistant core, as well as water- and mold-resistant facers on both sides. Verified independently as per ASTM D3273*, the standard test of mold resistance, ComfortGuard featuring the TemShield mold protection system scored a 10 of a possible 10 in laboratory evaluations.

Recycled Content Certification:
ComfortGuard gypsum board is certified in accordance to ISO 14021 standards to have recycled material content. All certified products feature a gypsum core sandwiched between recycled facers, and ComfortGuard is available with up to 95% certified recycled content for environmental “green” requirements. This certified material composition can contribute toward recycled material credits in the LEED rating system as well as other rating systems.
