XP Fire-Shield Gypsum Board panels consist of a specially treated, fire-resistant, Type C gypsum core encased in a heavy mold/mildew/moisture resistant, 100% recycled, PURPLE® paper on the face side and a heavy, mold/mildew/moisture resistant, 100% recycled, gray paper on the back side. XP Fire-Shield C Gypsum Board Panels have a specially formulated Type C core to achieve superior performance when used in specific fire-rated assemblies where the weight and number of gypsum board layers are a concern.
- Tapered edges for seamless joints
- Type C core is more resistant to fire than the ordinary wallboard
- Moisture and mold-resistant for added durability
- Resists the growth of mold per ASTM G21 with a score of 0, the best possible score
- Resists the growth of mold per ASTM D3273 with a score of 10, the best possible score
- Can be used on ceilings
- Lightweight, cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes
- XP Fire-Shield Gypsum Board is moisture resistant and can be used as a tile backer board in dry areas or areas with limited water exposure such as toilet/sink areas and wall and ceiling areas above tile in tubs and showers
- The gypsum core will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in excess of 212°F (100°C) until completely calcined, a slow process
- UL Classified for fire resistance, surface burning characteristics and noncombustibility
