CertainTeed's ProRoc Shaftliner Type X with M2Tech

CertainTeed Gypsum introduces the new ProRoc Moisture and Mold Resistant Shaftliner Type X with M2Tech technology for use in elevator shafts, stairwells, and area separation firewalls in commercial and multi-family buildings. ProRoc Shaftliner with M2Tech is a 1-inch gypsum board, with a specially formulated, fire-resistant, noncombustible core enclosed in a heavy moisture- and mold-resistant 100 percent recycled paper. This product features double-beveled edges for easy and fast installation.

ProRoc Shaftliner can be combined with other ProRoc with M2Tech gypsum board products and is primarily used in shaftwall and area separation firewall systems where enhanced mold resistance is required or preferred.

"CertainTeed's ProRoc Shaftliner Type X with M2Tech provides superior mold protection for shaftwall and area separation firewall systems," says Neil Shaw, vice president of marketing for CertainTeed Gypsum. "These systems are a vital safety link for multi-story commercial buildings as well as multi-family housing to prevent fire from rapidly spreading from floor to floor or unit to unit. Building professionals can use CertainTeed's new Shaftliner gypsum board with confidence knowing the product protects against mold while meeting applicable building code requirements related to life safety."

The ProRoc Shaftliner Type X with M2Tech technology achieves the highest possible score of 10 for mold resistance per ASTM D 3273. It is UL Classified and ULC Listed for fire resistance and surface burning characteristics.
