USG Boral SHEETROCK® Glass-Mat Panels Mold Tough™ are high- performance interior panels for new construction or renovation work. The panels have a non-combustible moisture- and mold-resistant core encased in a moisture-resistant non-woven glass mat that repels water and features tapered long edges for easy finishing. The front facer mat is ivory colored to match traditional drywall finishing and is engineered to accept the application of USG Boral finishing systems. The back-mat features USG Boral’s distinctive green color. The 5/8” (15.9mm) board is Type F (Fire) according to the EN 15283-1. It’s classified as Firecode™ X by UL-Underwriters Laboratories for fire resistance and can be used in any UL designs where Type SGX panels are listed.
