Description
Gold Bond® BRAND Hi-Abuse XP® Gypsum Board with Sporgard™ consists of a tapered edge, fire resistant Type X gypsum core
encased in heavy, abrasion and mold/mildew/moisture resistant, 100%
recycled, purple paper on the face side and heavy, abrasion and mold/mildew/ moisture resistant, 100% recycled, gray paper
on the back side.
Hi-Abuse XP Gypsum Board is designed to provide extra protection against mold and
mildew compared to standard wallboard products. The panels feature a specially
formulated core to provide greater resistance to surface indentation and abuse.
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 Sta-Smooth Setting Compounds.
For optimum mold and mildew performance, National Gypsum recommends ProForm® BRAND XP Ready Mix.
Applications
- This unique gypsum board is designed for interior use in wall assemblies in areas where surface
durability, impact/penetration, moisture, mold and mildew resistance are major concerns.
- 5/8" Fire-Shield Hi-Abuse XP Gypsum Board may be used where Type X gypsum panels are specified
in some fire-rated wall and floor-ceiling assemblies (e.g., UL U300, U400, V400
and L500 series).
Features & Benefits
- Resists the growth of mold per ASTM G 21 with a score of 0, the best possible score.
- Resists the growth of mold per ASTM D 3273 with a score of 10, the best possible score.
- Provides greater resistance to surface abuse and indentation over standard wallboard.
- Features a smooth, heavy face paper that is highly resistant
to scuffing and provides a superior surface for decoration.
- Allows for same joint treatment reinforcement procedures as standard drywall, thereby
reducing costs and the risk of improper installation.
- Does not require the added strength of a setting type compound for joint reinforcement.
- High density, fire resistant, Type X core may be utilized in fire rated wall and floor-ceiling assemblies.
- Easily scored and snapped.
- Lightweight alternative to CMU.
- Faster installation as compared to CMU.
Fire Resistance Ratings
Fire Resistance ratings represent the results of tests on assemblies made up of specific materials in a specific configuration. When selecting construction designs to meet certain fire resistance requirements, caution must be used to ensure that each component of the assembly is the one specified in the test. Further precautions should be taken that assembly procedures are in accordance with those of the tested assembly. For coies of specific tests, call 1-800-NATIONAL.

GREENGUARD Certified
Hi-Abuse XP Gypsum Board with Sporgard is GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified® for indoor air quality.
The GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certified® Mark is a registered certification mark used under license through the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.
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, Hi-Abuse XP Gypsum Board met even more stringent emissions limits that take into account the added sensitivity of children and adults with compromised immune systems.
