• M a t e r i a l D e s c r i p t i o n SilentFX™ is a noise-reducing gypsum board specifically designed for systems requiring high Sound Transmission Control (STC) ratings where acoustic management is needed.Green Glue®, applied between two specially formulated gypsum boards, is a viscoelastic polymer that dampens sound energy and significantly improves sound attenuation through walls and ceilings.SilentFX™ gypsum board is enclosed in a 100% recycled moisture and mold resistant face and back paper. As a result of the inclusion of M2Tech® technology, SilentFX™ also contributes to indoor air quality by providing enhanced moisture and mold resistance.

• A d v a n t a g e s • Features Green Glue viscoelas-tic polymer for superior noise damping

• SilentFX systems improve sound attenuation with STC rat-ings of 50 and higher.

• High STC ratings with fewer layers of gypsum board than tra-ditional assemblies.

• Abuse resistant per ASTM C1629.

• Low VOC emitting materials – GREENGUARD Gold Certified

• M2Tech technology provides ad-ditional zone of protection against moisture and mold.

• Achieves best possible score of 10 for mold resistance per ASTM D3273*.

• Finishes like regular gypsum board.
