5/8 in x 4 ft x 8 ft CertainTeed M2Tech Extreme Abuse Resistant Gypsum Board

Extreme Abuse Resistant Drywall Panel with M2Tech® is used for interior wall and ceiling applications which require improved durability and enhanced moisture and mold resistance. Extreme Abuse contains a specially formulated, dense, non-combustible, fire-resistant Type X gypsum core, reinforced by glass fiber and enclosed in a 100% recycled moisture and mold resistant face and back paper. This combination affords greater resistance to abuse and sound transmission in high traffic areas compared to standard drywall panels. Extreme Abuse Drywall Panel is also made with proprietary M2Tech® paper which improves indoor air quality by providing enhanced moisture and mold resistance.

Basic Uses

Extreme Abuse is used for interior walls and ceilings in residential, commercial or institutional applications where improved surface abrasion and indentation resistance is required. It can be used for new construction or renovations over wood or steel framing.

Extreme Abuse provides the increased protection and durability required for abuse prone areas that are subject to repeated wear and tear, such as classrooms, patient rooms and public buildings.
