SHEETROCK® Mold Tough™ Gypsum Liner Panels are enhanced moisture- and
mold-resistant gypsum panels. They are for use in cavity shaft wall and area
separation wall systems.
SHEETROCK® Mold Tough™ gypsum panels feature a noncombustible, moisture- and
mold-resistant gypsum core encased in moisture and mold-resistant, 100-percent
recycled blue face and back papers. They offer enhanced moisture- and
mold-resistance over standard gypsum panels.
The panels are UL Classified as to fire resistance (Type SLX) and feature
double beveled edges that score and snap easily without special handling. They
are designed for use with SHEETROCK Shaft wall and USG Area Separation Wall
systems, delivering increased moisture and mold protection.
In independent lab tests conducted on SHEETROCK Mold Tough gypsum liner
panels 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 following panels achieved a score of 10.
Note: SHEETROCK® Mold Tough™ Gypsum Liner Panels have been
comprehensively tested for fire resistance, structural performance, and sound
control only when used with Sheetrock shaft wall and area separation wall
framing components. SHEETROCK shaft wall and area separation wall system
components must be used together to ensure superior system performance and
safety. Substitution of any system component is not recommended and is not
endorsed by the United States Gypsum Company.
