Weather Defense Platinum Shaftliner Type X has a specially formulated, noncombustible, mold-resistant gypsum core enhanced with glass fibers for strength and additional fire resistance. Its fiberglass matting eliminates the need for paper, a potential food source for mold. This characteristic can help reduce remediation and scheduling delays, making Weather Defense Platinum Shaftliner Type X a great alternative to traditional paper-faced shaftliners.
Weather Defense Platinum Shaftliner Type X panels are only one component of a reliable shaft or area separation wall assembly. To obtain proper fire-rated resistance, the panels must be used as specified in the listed design.
