Description
ToughRock
®
Fireguard
®
and ToughRock
®
Fireguard C
™
Gypsum Board have
noncombustible (per ASTM E 136), dimensionally stable gypsum cores. The core
has been reinforced with the addition of glass fibers, increasing its strength and
its resistance to the passage of heat. The surfacings on both faces and on the long
edges are 100% recycled paper. The front face paper is white; the back face paper
i
s gray. The ends are square cut.
Primary Uses
ToughRock Fireguard and Fireguard C Gypsum Board are wall or ceiling covering
materials for use in building construction. Both are designed for direct mechanical
attachment to wood or metal framing for use in building assemblies with a desig-
nated fire-resistive rating.
A
specially formulated gypsum core which includes glass fibers enables ToughRock
Fireguard and Fireguard C Gypsum Board to help protect framing members from the
spread of fire. With joints covered, ToughRock Fireguard and Fireguard C Gypsum
Board will resist passage of smoke.
ToughRock Fireguard and Fireguard C Gypsum Board are manufactured with a
paper surfacing designed to be receptive to joint treatment, paint, wall covering,
or textured coatings.
