EPD: Gypsum fiber panels, for wet areas, 12.7 mm (1/2 in), 11.7 kg/m2 (2.400 lb/ft2), 923 kg/m3 (57.6 pcf), 1/2 FIBEROCK AQUATOUGH AR INTERIOR PANELS (USG, Gypsum plant)

USG Fiberock® Brand Aqua-Tough™ AR Interior Panels are engineered to provide increased resistance to moisture, mold, abrasion, indentation and penetration for interior walls and ceilings in demanding construction applications. These gypsum-fiber panels are designed to outperform paper-faced gypsum board. Strong, solid and durable, they are approved for use in wet areas, including residential showers and tub surrounds. They also resist denting, breaking and puncturing—even in high-traffi c areas. USG Fiberock Brand Aqua-Tough™ AR Interior Panels are code approved for use in noncombustible construction. They have exceptional surface-burning characteristics (ASTM E84, Flame Spread 5, Smoke Developed 0) and fire resistance (ASTM E119). USG Fiberock Brand Aqua-Tough™ AR Interior Panels may be used in lieu of Type X gypsum panels in over 50 fire-rated wall assemblies as listed in the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Fire Resistance Directory under Type FRX-G.
