Sheetrock® Brand Gypsum Board Mold Tough™ Type X - SGBMT159X2440

USG Sheetrock® Brand Mold Tough® Panels Firecode® Type X feature a noncombustible, moisture- and mold-resistant gypsum core that is encased in moisture- and mold-resistant, 100% recycled green face and brown back papers. When tested in accordance with ASTM D3273, Standard Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber, the panels meet or exceed ASTM C1396 specifications. The long edges of the panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with USG Sheetrock® Brand joint treatment systems. The panels are UL Classified for fire resistance and can be used in any UL Design in which Type SCX panels are listed. On the face along the long edge of each panel, the UL Type Designation is printed for easy identification by building inspectors.

Specifications
Physical Properties:
  • Thickness: 15.9 mm
  • Weight: nominal 10.7 kg/m2
  • Edges: Tapered
  • Moisture and mold resistance: Per ASTM C473, the average water absorption for USG Sheetrock® Brand Mold Tough® Panels Firecode® Type X is not greater than 5% by weight after two-hour immersion
  • In independent lab tests conducted on USG Sheetrock® Brand EcoSmart Panels Mold Tough® Firecode® X at the time of manufacture per ASTM D3273, Standard Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber, the panels meet or exceed ASTM C1396 specifications
  • This ASTM lab test may not accurately represent the mold performance of building materials in actual use. Given unsuitable project conditions during storage, installation or after completion, any building material can be overwhelmed by mold. To manage the growth of mold, the best and most cost-effective strategy is to protect building products from water exposure during storage and installation and after completion of the building. This can be accomplished by using good design and construction practices. • Comply with ASTM C1396 for 15.9 mm Type X, water-resistant gypsum wallboard and exterior gypsum soffit board • Classified as a Class A Interior Finish Material per Section 803.1 of the International Building Code® (IBC®) • UL Classification as to fire resistance, surface-burning characteristics and core combustibility • Achieved GREENGUARD Gold Certification and qualifies as a low VOC emitting material (meets CA 01350)
