1 Submittal Sheet Sheetrock Brand UltraLight Panels Lightweight, quality wall and ceiling panels for interior applications The lightest 1/2" gypsum wallboard panel available Easier to lift, carry and install Quick installation and decoration Clean score and snap with less dust Can be used on ceilings with 24" o.c. frame spacing when water-based texture is applied Same high quality as all Sheetrock Brand Gypsum Panels Description Intended For Limitations Sheetrock UltraLight Panels are re-engineered, lightweight gypsum wallboard panels with a proprietary, composite design. The noncombustible core is encased in 100% recycled face and back papers. 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 panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with Sheetrock joint treatment systems. Non-fire-rated single-layer wall and ceiling applications New residential construction Repair and remodel construction Ceilings where improved sag performance is desired 1. Avoid exposure to sustained temperatures exceeding 125 F (52 C). 2. Avoid exposure to excessive, repetitive or continuous moisture before, during and after installation. Eliminate sources of moisture immediately. 3. Non-load bearing. 4. Maximum frame spacing is 24" o.c. 5. Must be stored off of the ground and under cover. Sufficient risers must be used to support the entire length of the gypsum board to prevent sagging. Environmental Claims Validation Recycled content Reduction in transportation energy Conservation of raw materials Low volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting materials (meets CA 01350) The UL Environment mark on the panel declares that the claims for representative samples of Sheetrock UltraLight Panels have been validated. Look for the UL Environment mark on the back of each panel produced at manufacturing facilities that have undergone the validation process. For specific category values and listings of USG manufacturing facilities verified, go to Finishing and Decorating For high-quality finishing results, USG recommends the following products: Sheetrock ready-mixed joint compounds Sheetrock setting-type joint compounds Sheetrock joint tape Sheetrock First Coat primer Sheetrock paper faced metal bead and trim Sheetrock Tuff-Hide primer-surfacer Painting products and systems should be used which comply with recommendations and requirements in Appendices of ASTM C840. For priming and decorating with paint, texture or wall covering, follow manufacturer s directions for materials used. Gypsum Association GA-214, Recommended Specification for Levels of Gypsum Board Finish, should be referred to in order to determine the level of finishing needed to ensure a surface properly prepared to accept the final decoration.

2 All surfaces, including applied joint compound, must be thoroughly dry, dust-free, and not glossy. Prime with Sheetrock First Coat primer or with an undiluted, interior latex flat paint with high-solids content. Allow to dry before decorating. To improve fastener concealment, where gypsum panel walls and ceilings will be subjected to severe artificial or natural side lighting, or be decorated with a gloss paint (egg shell, semi-gloss or gloss), the gypsum panel surface should be skim coated with joint compound. This equalizes suction and texture differences between the drywall face paper and the finished joint compound before painting. As an alternative to skim coating, or when a Level 5 finish is required, use Sheetrock Tuff-Hide primer-surfacer.

4 Technical Service Hotline or Manufacturer Georgia-Pacific Gypsum LLC Georgia-Pacific Canada LP 133 Peachtree Street 7070 Mississauga Road, Unit 120 Atlanta, GA Mississauga, ON L5M 7V9 Technical Service Hotline: Description ToughRock Gypsum Board has a noncombustible (per ASTM E 136), dimensionally stable, gypsum core. The surfacings on both facings and on the long edges are 100% recycled paper. The front facing (side to be finished) and the long edges are an ivory color; the back facing paper is gray. The ends are square cut, smooth finished with no paper facing. Primary Uses ToughRock Gypsum Board is a wall or ceiling covering material for use in new building construction or renovation work. It is designed for direct attachment (screws, nails or adhesive) to wood and metal framing or existing surfaces. It may also be used as a covering material for flat or curved structures. The facing material may be formed to a curve with a short radius. 1/2 ToughRock Light & Strong has been specifically designed to perform like a ceiling board where improved sag resistance is desired. It can be used on ceilings with 24 o.c. frame spacing when a water based texture is applied. Always seal the boards with a high-quality latex primer before applying texture. Insulation should not exceed 2.2 lbs/sf (9.9 kg/m 2 ). Please see Maximum Framing Spacing Table on page 2 for details. ToughRock Gypsum Board is manufactured with a ivory paper facing designed to receive joint treatment, paint, wall covering, textured coatings or other finish treatment. Limitations ToughRock Gypsum Board is a nonstructural product and should not be used as a nailing base to support heavy wall-mounted objects. It is intended for interior applications only and it must be kept dry and not used where exposure to moisture is extreme or continuous. Do not use ToughRock Gypsum Board where there is prolonged exposure to temper atures exceeding 125 F (52 C) and/or continuous exposure to extreme humidity; e.g., located adjacent to wood burning stoves, heating appliances, steam rooms, showers, gang shower rooms and swimming pools. Consult water-based textures manufacturer s literature if they are to be used. Applicable Standards Manufactured to meet ASTM C 1396 Section 5 (Gypsum Wallboard) and Section 12 (Gypsum Ceiling Board).* Building Code Conformity ToughRock Gypsum Board conforms to requirements of 2009 IBC and IRC codes.

Submittal Approvals Job Name Contractor Technical Data Surface Burning Characteristics Flame spread rating of 15 and smoke developed 0, when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or CAN/ULC-S102. The core is noncombustible when tested in accordance with ASTM E 136. New and improved lighter and stronger ToughRock has not been tested for Flame Spread and Smoke Developed. Sound Control Sound rated assemblies require sealing at top, bottom, intersections and other pene trations to ensure the effectiveness of the assembly and obtain desired STC rating. Test reports are available upon request. Application Standards ToughRock Gypsum Board shall be installed according to the Gypsum Associ ation Publi ca tion GA-216 Recommended Specifications for the Application and Finishing of Gypsum Panel Products and ASTM C 840 Standard Specifica tion for Application and Finishing of Gypsum Board for non-fire rated construction. Methods Installation methods for single or multi-layer construction involving attachment using mechanical fasteners, adhesive or adhesive with supplemental fasteners are numerous and varied. Refer to Gypsum Association publications for application and installation details. The installation method selected should be planned carefully to minimize the number of end joints. ToughRock Gypsum Board can be cut to the necessary size by scoring the face paper with a sharp knife, then snapping away from the cut face. The back paper is then cut or broken by snapping the board in the opposite direction. All cut edges and ends are smoothed by rasping or other suitable methods to form tightfitting joints when installed. For sound rated assemblies, appropriate methods of installation are based on the desired specified STC value required. These ratings and values require that all details of the tested assemblies be followed. In addition to these details, the installation methods outlined in Gypsum Association Publication GA-216 will facilitate optimum performance through preferred construction practices. Safety See Handling and Use Caution section at end of this document. Handling Precautions Stack ToughRock Gypsum Board flat on a level surface. As individual sheets are removed for installation, they should be raised up on edge carefully and carried in a vertical position. Appropriate handling is also outlined in Gypsum Association Publications GA-216 and GA-801. Take care to avoid impact, undue flexing and subsequent damage to board edges, ends and corners. Avoid scuffing the face to be finished. Material Safety Data Sheet Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is available upon request or online at www. gpgypsum.com. Board Decoration ToughRock Gypsum Board is designed to accept most types of paints, texture and wall covering materials. Georgia-Pacific Gypsum strongly recommends priming the surface with a full-bodied, quality latex primer before applying a final decorative material. Priming will equalize the suction variation between the joint compounds and the paper surface. If glossy paints are used in such areas as kitchens or bathrooms, skim coat joint compound over the entire surface to reduce highlighting or joint photographing. This method is also recommended in areas with severe natural or artificial side lighting. Georgia-Pacific Gypsum recommends application of a sealer prior to applying wallpaper or other wall covering to the board so that the board surface will not be damaged if the covering is subsequently removed during redecorating. Joint treatment must be thoroughly dry before proceeding with primer application and final decoration. Refer to Gypsum Association Publications GA-214 and GA-216 for joint treatment and finishing recommendations. * Limited to new and improved, lighter and stronger ToughRock available from select manufacturing facilities.
