Description
1/2" Gold Bond® BRAND XP®
Gypsum Board with Sporgard™* was developed as an improved moisture resistant board offering the same advantages of a traditional moisture resistant board, offering the same advantages of a traditional moisture resistant board with added mold resistance in the core and paper. XP Gypsum Board panels consist of a specially treated, fire resistant, gypsum
core encased in a heavy mold/mildew/moisture resistant, 100% recycled, purple paper on
the face side and a heavy, mold/mildew/moisture resistant, 100% recycled, gray paper on the back side.
XP Gypsum Board was designed to provide extra protection against mold and mildew
compared to standard wallboard products. The face paper is folded around the
long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are square-cut and
finished smooth. Long edges of the panels are tapered.
Tapered edges allow joints
to be reinforced with ProForm® BRAND Joint Tape and concealed with ProForm BRAND Ready Mix, Easy Finish® BRAND Ready Mix or ProForm® BRAND setting compounds.
For optimum mold and mildew performance, National Gypsum recommends ProForm® BRAND XP Ready Mix.

The GREENGUARD Certification ProgramSM is an industry independent, third-party program that has been certifying products for low non-toxic emissions since 2001. To achieve GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified status, National Gypsum's products passed rigorous sample testing and review of the manufacturing processes to meet strict standards set by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) — a globally recognized leader in indoor air quality — to determine their impact on indoor air pollution. To achieve GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification, XP Gypsum Board met even more stringent emissions limits that take into account the added sensitivity of children and adults with compromised immune systems.
