Overview

Sheetrock® Brand AR Firecode® X Panels (UL Type AR) are 15.9 mm (5/8 in.) Type X panels designed and tested to offer greater resistance to surface abrasion, indentation and impact damage than 15.9 mm (5/8 in.) Sheetrock® Brand Firecode® X Panels. These abuse-resistant panels feature a noncombustible gypsum core that is encased in 100% recycled, heavy duty face and back papers that form a high strength composite design. The face paper is folded around the long edges to protect the core and the ends are cut square and even. The long edges of the panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with CGC Sheetrock® or Synko® Brand interior finishing systems. The panels are UL Classified for fire resistance and can be used in any UL/ULC Design in which Type AR 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.
