USG Sheetrock® Brand UltraLight Panels Firecode® X is available in one of two UL Type Designations (Type ULX and Type ULIX), depending on the market. Both panels have been formulated to achieve all of the strength and performance characteristics as standard 5/8" USG Sheetrock® Brand Firecode® Gypsum Panels at a significantly reduced weight. The panels have a re-engineered core encased in 100% recycled face and back papers that form a high strength-toweight 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 panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with USG Sheetrock® Brand joint treatment systems. The UL Type Designation is printed with nonbleeding ink on the face along the long edge of each panel for easy identification.
