Overview

Sheetrock® Brand Glass-Mat Panels Tough® Firecode® X (UL Type SGX) are 15.9 mm (5/8 in.) Type X gypsum panels that feature a noncombustible, moisture- and mould-resistant gypsum core that is encased in a green coloured moisture- and mould-resistant fiberglass face and back that sheds water. 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 score a "10" (highest). The fiberglass face 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 Sheetrock® or Synko® Brand joint treatment systems. The panels are UL Classified for fire resistance and can be used in any UL/ULC Design in which Type SGX panels are listed.
