Type-X Gypsum Panel for Area Separation from American Gypsum Co. LLC

The 1/2-inch M-Bloc Ekcel Type X gypsum panel is a fire-, mold- and moisture-resistant wallboard that is part of a patented area separation firewall system used in multi-family housing projects. The product was introduced to meet the needs of the multi-family builder when there is a limited supply of 1-inch thick by 2-foot wide shaft liner panels for multi-family housing projects. The drywall panel is 1/2-inch thick and 4 feet in width, and replaces 1-inch thick shaft linerboard that is 2 feet in width.
