| h mpac; brand XP® Gypsum Board panels consist of a tapered edge, moisture resistant, fire resistant, Type X gypsum core encased in 100% recycled heavy, smooth, moisture, mold/mildew and abrasion resistant purple paper on the face side and strong 100% recycled mold and mildew resistant paper on the back side. A fiberglass mesh is embedded into the core, close to the back of the board to provide additional impact/penetration resisͭtance. Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board features a specially formulated core to provide fire resistance ratings when used in tested systems in addition to providing extra protection against mold and mildew compared to standard wallboard products. Applications This unique gypsum board is designed for use in wall assemblies in areas where surface durability, impact/ penetration, moisture, mold and mildew resistance are major concerns. 5/8" Fire-Shield Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board may be used where Type X gypsum panels are specified in some fire-rated wall assemblies (i.e., UL U300, U400 and V400 series). | Not recommended where it will be exposed to temperatures exceeding 125°F(52°C) for extended periods of time. Hi-Impact XP should not be used as a backerboard directly behind tile in tub and shower areas. Must be stored off the ground and under cover. Sufficient risers must be used to ensure support for the entire length of the wallboard to prevent sagging. Hi-Impact XP should not be used in areas subject to constant and/or excessive moisture and high humidity such as gang showers, saunas steam rooms and swimming pool enclosures. PermaBase® brand Cement Board is recomͭmended for these areas. Gypsum board must be kept dry to minimize the potential for mold growth. Adequate care should be taken while transporting, storing, applying and maintaining gypsum wallboard. For additional information, refer to the Gypsum Association publication, "Guidelines for the Prevention of Mold Growth on Gypsum Wallboard" (GA-238-03), which is available at www.gypsum.org under the "Download Free Gypsum Association Publications" section. | |||||||||
