CertainTeed NEW! The first gypsum board to clear the air! improves indoor air quality and provides peace of mind for generations

AirRenew™ for a healthier living and working environment.

AirRenew™ uses two innovative technologies* How AirRenew™ cleans the air to actively improve indoor air quality. 1. Captures VOCs**

AirRenew™ takes VOCs** out of the air — and keeps them out

™ Effectiveness of AirRenew ’s new technology takes VOCs** out of the AirRenew™ on air and converts them into safe, inert compounds. VOC** reduction Once they are captured in the board, they cannot be released back into the air.

® M2Tech technology provides enhanced 2. Converts VOCs** moisture and mold resistance into inert compounds Specially engineered to provide enhanced 3. Inert compounds protection against mold growth, M2Tech® remain within gypsum board achieves the best possible score of 0 for mold resistance per ASTM G 21 and 10 per ASTM D 3273.

There is a rapidly growing awareness of the importance of Carbon monoxide indoor air quality and its impact on health and productivity. Automobile exhaust from nearby garages, loading docks, roadways Research indicates that people spend approximately 90 Tobacco smoke percent of their time indoors. Carbon dioxide

Factors affecting indoor air quality Combustion of fossil fuels from heating equipment or generators People The indoor environment is affected by many factors, including local climate, HVAC systems, building materials, Particulates

occupants, and potential contaminant sources such Smoke, paper, water residue, carpet fibers, dust and other allergens as furnishings, moisture, and outdoor pollutants. Temperature and humidity extremes

How mold affects air quality Improper thermostat setpoints, unbalanced HVAC system, local climate, poor building design, poor humidity control Mold is also a serious concern when it comes to indoor air

quality. The potential health effects associated with mold Inadequate air circulation and ventilation exposures include allergic reactions and other respiratory Improper system design or operation, HVAC duct work or vent blockage, concerns. Specifying specially-engineered moisture and lack of maintaining air filters, poor office layout mold resistant building materials, such as AirRenew™ and ProRoc® with M2Tech® products, greatly reduces the potential for mold problems.

Improves indoor air quality and provides peace of mind with innovative technologies* from CertainTeed. It cleans the air by permanently removing VOCs** circulating indoors and has superior M2Tech® technology, providing enhanced moisture and mold resistance.

Understanding the role of CertainTeed Gypsum in meeting Green Building Standards

CertainTeed Gypsum operates its manufacturing facilities with a responsible and environmentally conscious ethic that includes reclamation, preservation of natural resources, recycling and waste management.

All face and back paper used on our gypsum board products is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and multiple CertainTeed Gypsum plants use synthetic gypsum for the primary raw material. When combined with the recycled paper, this yields a total recycled content of up to 99% for ProRoc® gypsum board. Some of our plants have implemented construction waste management programs that incorporate post-consumer gypsum board back into the production process.

Gypsum board product innovation is also carried out with a focus on environmental responsibility; research and development emphasize minimizing environmental impacts to the greatest extent possible.

> Our gypsum board, paperless glass-mat board, finishing compound and joint tape manufacturing locations can provide regional materials coverage throughout North America.

> M2Tech® Moisture and Mold Resistant Gypsum Board products are specially formulated for applications where enhanced moisture and mold resistance is preferred. Products are GREENGUARD® Children & Schools Certified.

> GlasRoc® Sheathing, Shaftliner and Tile Backer are paperless, moisture and mold resistant products.

> Gypsum board and finishing products manufactured at CertainTeed Gypsum plants certified to ISO 14001 have been Green Approved by the NAHB Research Center.

> CertainTeed Gypsum is committed to resource conservation: – The face and back paper used for our gypsum board consists of 100% recycled paper. – Synthetic gypsum, specifically flue-gas desulfurized gypsum, is used at plants where sources are available. Using synthetic gypsum to make board enables beneficial use of a

green facts: material that would otherwise be landfilled. – The total recycled content is 99% for CertainTeed Gypsum wallboard products using synthetic gypsum.
