USG Sheetrock® Brand EcoSmart Panels Firecode® X represent a revolution in wallboard

manufacturing, signiﬁcantly reducing the need for natural resources and impact on the

environment. These 5/8 in. Type X lightweight gypsum panels have been formulated to achieve

all of the strength and performance characteristics as standard 5/8 in. USG Sheetrock® Brand

Firecode® X Panels at a signiﬁcantly lower environmental impact and reduced weight. They feature

an innovative noncombustible gypsum core encased in 100% recycled face and back papers that

form a high strength-to-weight ratio composite design. The natural ﬁnish face paper is folded

around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are cut square and even.

The long edges of the panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with

USG Sheetrock® Brand joint treatment systems. The panels are UL Classiﬁed for ﬁre resistance

and can be used in any UL design in which UltraLight Innovation Type X (ULIX™) panels are

listed. On the face along the long edge of each panel, the UL Type Designation is printed for

easy identiﬁcation after installation.

• Commercial or residential applications where 5/8 in. Type X panels are required

• New or repair and remodel construction

• Load-bearing and non-load-bearing wood- or steel-framed ﬁre-rated walls

• Wall, column, ﬂoor-ceiling and roof-ceiling assemblies (refer to speciﬁc UL designs for

complete details)
