Overview 12.5mm

Gypsemna Tuff (TF - 12.5mm) is an interior gypsum board consisting of a solid-set, fire-resistant Type X gypsum core, enclosed in yellow-coloured face paper and a strong liner back paper. The board features a specially formulated core that provides high impact resistance, sound blocking, and fire protection, making it suitable for high-traffic areas where interior damage is likely to occur. Both the face and back papers are 100% recyclable.
