• Fire barriers for cavity shaftwalls, stairwells, and area separation walls.
• Mold and moisture resistant, provides extra protection against mold and mildew.
• Type X core is fire resistant and is an approved component in UL fire-rated designs.

Gold Bond® Shaftliner XP® gypsum panels consist of a mold-, mildew- and moisture-resistant Type X gypsum core encased in a mold-, mildew- and moisture-resistant, 100% recycled PURPLE® paper on the face and back sides.

Shaftliner XP is designed to provide extra protection against mold and mildew. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are beveled and finished smooth. Long edges of panels are beveled for ease of installation.

Shaftliner XP panels are designed to be used to construct lightweight fire barriers for elevator shafts (1-4 hr.) stairwells and area separation fire walls in multifamily housing. The panels are key components in the I-Stud, C-T Stud and C-H Stud Cavity Shaftwall Systems and the H-Stud Area Separation Fire Wall Systems.

If looking for shaftliner featuring fiberglass-mat face, try Gold Bond® eXP® Shaftliner.

APPLICATIONS:

• Used to construct lightweight fire barriers for cavity shaftwalls (1-4 hr.), stairwells and area separation fire walls in multifamily housing.
• Key components in the I-Stud, C-T Stud, and C-H Stud Cavity Shaftwall Systems and the H-Stud Area Separation Fire Wall Systems.
• May be substituted for Gold Bond® Fire-Shield® Shaftliner in Cavity Shaftwall, Area Separation Fire Wall Systems, and solid laminated partitions.

ADVANTAGES:

PROVIDES ADDITIONAL FIRE RESISTANCE

• Features a Type X core that is more fire resistant than ordinary wallboard.
• Approved component in UL fire-rated designs.
• UL Classified for fire resistance and surface burning characteristics.
• 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.

INSTALLS FAST AND EASY

• Lightweight, cost-efficient material.
• Easily cut for quick installation

LOW-EMITTING MATERIALS
