Hi-Impact XP Tutorial
(When the pop-up window opens, it will prompt you to click start
after a few seconds to begin the tutorial.)
Hi-Impact® BRAND XP® Gypsum Board
panels consist of a tapered edge, moisture resistant, fire resistant,
Type X gypsum core encased in 100% recycled heavy, smooth, moisture, mold/mildew
and abrasion resistant purple paper on the face side and strong 100% recycled mold
and mildew resistant paper on the back side. A fiberglass mesh is embedded
into the core, close to the back side of the board to provide additional impact/penetration
resistance.
Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board features a specially formulated core to provide fire resistance
ratings when used in tested systems in addition to providing extra protection against
mold and mildew compared to standard gypsum board products. Tapered edges allow joints
to be reinforced with ProForm® BRAND Joint
Tape, and concealed with ProForm® BRAND
Ready Mix or setting compounds.
Applications
- This unique gypsum board is designed for use in wall assemblies in areas where surface
durability, impact/penetration, moisture, mold and mildew resistance are major concerns.
- 5/8" Fire-Shield Hi-Impact XP gypsum board may be used where Type X gypsum panels are
specified in some fire-rated wall assemblies (e.g., UL U300, U400 and V400 series).
Features & Benefits
- Resists the growth of mold per ASTM D 3273.
- Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board can be used on the interior side of exterior walls in hot,
humid climates such as the Southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast areas.
- Lightweight, cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative
finishes.
- Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board is easily cut for quick installation, permitting painting
or other decoration and the installation of most metal or wood trim almost immediately.
- The gypsum core will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in
excess of 212°F (100°C) until completely calcined, a slow process.
- Expansion and contraction under normal atmospheric changes is negligible.
- Does not require the added strength of a setting type compound for joint reinforcement.
- Allows for same joint treatment reinforcement procedures as standard drywall, thereby
reducing cost and the risk of improper installation.
- Transitions into drywall without the use of control joints.
- Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board can be used as a tile backer board in dry areas or areas
with limited water exposure such as toilet/sink areas and areas above tile in tubs
and showers.
- Saves time by eliminating the need for special cutting tools and rasping of cut
edges.
Mold and Mildew Resistance*
Hi-Impact® BRAND XP® Gypsum Board
has been designed to provide extra protection against mold and mildew compared to
standard gypsum board products. When tested by an independent lab per ASTM D 3273 ("Standard
Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings
in an Environmental Chamber"), Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board achieved a score of 10, the
best possible score for this test.
*The use of Hi-Impact XP in actual installations may not produce the same results
as were achieved in controlled, laboratory conditions. No material can be considered
"mold-proof", nor is it certain that any material will resist mold or mildew indefinitely.
When used in conjunction with good design, handling and construction practices,
Hi-Impact XP can provide increased mold resistance versus standard gypsum board products.
As with any building material, avoiding water exposure during handling, storage
and installation, and after installation is complete, is the best way to avoid the
formation of mold or mildew.
