For use on multi-layered, fire rated wall assemblies

Consists of a high density, fire-resistant, gypsum core
  • For radius applications requiring a fire-rating.
  • Mold and moisture resistant, provides extra protection against mold and mildew.
  • Provides greater resistance to surface abuse.

Gold Bond® XP® Fire-Shield® Radius Gypsum Board is 5/16” thick and consists of a high density, fire-resistant gypsum core encased in a heavy, abrasion- and mold-, mildew- and moisture-resistant PURPLE® paper. Used in the construction of multi-layered, fire-rated wall assemblies. Specifically engineered for radius applications requiring a fire rating.

Tapered edges allow joints to be reinforced with joint tape, setting joint compound or ready mix joint compound. For optimum mold and mildew resistance, mold-resistant joint compounds are recommended.

GridMarX® are printed on the face paper surface to help installers instantly identify stud locations and make accurate cuts without having to pencil in or snap chalk lines.

For a board used in radius applications that does not require a fire-rating, try our Gold Bond® High Flex Gypsum Board.

APPLICATIONS:

  • For use in multi-layered, fire-rated wall assemblies.
  • Use in radius applications requiring a fire rating are based on testing conducted in accordance with ASTM E119 for linear construction.

ADVANTAGES:

FIRE RESISTANT MATERIAL

  • For use in approved 1- and 2-hour fire-rated wall assemblies.
  • The gypsum core will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in excess of 212°F (100°C) until completely calcined, a slow process.

INHIBITS MOLD GROWTH

  • Helps inhibit mold growth with the highest possible score on mold tests (ASTM D3273 and ASTM G21).
  • Features SPORGARD® technology with extra mold-inhibiting properties.

RESISTS ABUSE

  • Heavy abrasion-resistant paper and denser core provide greater resistance to surface abuse when tested in accordance with ASTM C1629.

INSTALLS FAST AND EASY

  • Features GridMarX guide marks on the board to allow for faster and more accurate installation.
  • Lightweight, cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes.
  • Scores and snaps easily, no special handling requirements.
