From its beginnings in 1893 as a single sawmill, Temple-Inland has been dedicated to manufacturing outstanding products to meet customer needs.
Temple Inland supplies solid wood lumber, gypsum board and fiberboard products for residential and commercial construction projects. Whether for new construction or remodeling, do-it-yourselfers or professionals, the expanding product line provides a range of solutions to today’s building challenges.
Temple-Inland manufactures a full line of quality gypsum board products for fast, cost-efficient wall construction in both residential and commercial applications. Available in a range of dimensions and with a choice of special performance properties, this is one of its fastest growing product lines.
Made in the U.S.A. Temple-Inland has never imported any gypsum wallboard from China. Its full line of gypsum products is manufactured at facilities that they own and operate in the United States under their high quality standards. Temple Inland has a long history in this industry and has never received any complaints similar to the ones currently in the news attributed to Chinese wallboard.
ComfortGuard Abuse-Resistant (AR) gypsum board and ComfortGuard Impact-Resistant (IR) gypsum board are two great solutions for increasing the resistance of a structure's walls to both surface and penetration damage in busy, high-traffic areas. And true to their ComfortGuard name, both products also include our powerful TemShield mold-protection system to add proven mold and moisture resistance. That means whether the risk of damage is moderate or severe, or the issue of concern is contact damage or moisture, ComfortGuard provides the answer both during construction and for years to come.
- Scuff- and abrasion-resistant smooth face paper
- Ease of installation: cuts, applies and finishes like regular gypsum
- Enhanced core density provides extra strength and heat resistance
- Fire resistance classified by Underwriters Laboratories according to ASTM E119
- Available with a minimum of 93% certified recycled content on a dry-weight basis in accordance with ISO 14021 standards

ComfortGuard AR and ComfortGuard IR have been tested in accordance with ASTM C1629 as a basis for the comparison of their expected performance properties against various types of abuse.
To provide a way of evaluating the performance of these products in your application, we offer the following values obtained by testing in accordance with ASTM C1629 accompanied by a brief description of the test process used in each case and the corresponding classification level.
Surface Abrasion:To provide a measure of the abrasion-resistant performance of our product when installed in high-traffic areas.
NOTE: The test values are an average of test results from three uniform samples of each product. They represent the number of cycles necessary to produce a surface abrasion to a depth of .040" according to the procedures in ASTM D4977 (modified) with an extra 25-lb. weight added to the test apparatus. AR Classification Level = 2 IR Classification Level = 2 |
Surface Indentation Resistance:To provide a measure of our product’s resistance to incidental wall impact from such items as chairs, carts and furniture.
NOTE: The test values are an average of test results from three uniform samples of each product. They represent the depth of an indention created by a 5/8" rounded indenter punch impacting with a force of 72 in.-lbs. of drop energy, according to ASTM D5420. AR Classification Level = 1 IR Classification Level = 1 |
||||||||||||||||||
Hard-Body Impact Test:To provide a measure of the resistance of our product to hard-object impact intended to penetrate the wall.
NOTE: The test values are an average of test results from three uniform samples of each product. They represent the minimum force required for a capped 2" steel pipe to penetrate the product supported by 16" o.c. framing. AR Classification Level = 1 IR Classification Level = 3 |
Soft-Body Impact Test:To provide a measure of the resistance of our product to soft-body impact.
NOTE: The test values are an average of test results from three uniform samples of each product. They represent the minimal force required for the following:
The tests were conducted on panels supported 16" o.c. according to ASTM E695 using a 60-lb. leather bag for ComfortGuard AR. A 120-lb. bag was substituted for the tests on ComfortGuard IR. AR Classification Level = 1 IR Classification Level = 3 |
- For interior use only
- Avoid exposure to prolonged, extreme temperatures greater than 125°F (52°C)
- Should not be used as a tile backer in tub and shower surrounds or in areas with a risk of continuous exposure to water such as swimming pool enclosures, steam rooms or gang shower rooms
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 D4373, the standard test of mold resistance, ComfortGuard featuring the TemShield mold protection system scored a 10 of a possible 10 in laboratory evaluations.
Each ComfortGuard panel is composed of an enhanced mold- and water-resistant core with mold- and water-resistant facers on both sides. ComfortGuard features the TemShield Mold Protection system, which provides a significant degree of mold resistance compared to untreated panels.
ComfortGuard ha been tested per ASTM D3273*, the standard test of mold resistance, and scored a 10 out of a possible 10 in laboratory evaluations. Its resistance to water absorption was tested per ASTM C473.
*Note: The ASTM D3273 lab test may not be applicable to the actual performance of building materials. No material may be labeled mold proof, and resistance to mold growth depends on many factors. Prolonged exposure to moisture may cause mold and mildew to grow on any surface. Therefore, in order to maximize the mold and mildew resistance of a material, it is essential that good design, handling and construction practices be implemented. This involves avoiding water exposure during all phases of storage, handling, shipping, installation and after installation is complete. See GA238 for more information.
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. See our Fire-Resistant Gypsum Board page for more information.
Temple-Inland gypsum board products are third-party certified by Materials Analytical Services, LLC (MAS) to meet the performance standard established for low-emitting materials under the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) Program.
In emissions level testing for carbon disulfide and carbonyl sulfide conducted by Materials Analytical Services (MAS), Temple-Inland gypsum board was determined to be negative for sulfur off-gassing and is not considered a problematic corrosive drywall type.
Gypsum board should be carried, never dragged, to prevent damaging the finished edges. When storing gypsum boards, store them indoors and protect them from weather and direct sunlight. Boards should be stored lying flat and neatly stacked. Care should be taken to prevent sagging or damage to edges, ends and surfaces. Placing boards against framing is not recommended.
The use of certified Temple-Inland gypsum board can contribute toward credits in the following green construction rating system categories.
ComfortGuard AR/IR abuse- and impact-resistant gypsum board manufactured in West Memphis, Arkansas, Fletcher, Oklahoma, and Cumberland City, Tennessee, has been certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) in accordance to ISO 14021 standards to contain a minimum of 93% recycled material on a dry-weight basis.
