Fire-Rated Wallboard
PABCO® FLAME CURB® Gypsum Wallboard is a family of fire-resistant gypsum panel products designed for use on interior walls, ceilings and partitions. The paper facing affords an excellent surface suitable for a variety of decorations including paint and wallpaper.

PABCO® FLAME CURB® Gypsum Wallboard panels are flexible, may be attached with nails, screws or approved adhesives. PABCO® FLAME CURB® wallboard panels are produced in thicknesses of 1/2" and 5/8"; widths of 48" and 54" (for 5/8" type X) and lengths that vary from 8' to 14'. Tapered edges provide a recessed area that allows tape and joint treatment to be used to create a monolithic (flat) surface.

PABCO® FLAME CURB® Gypsum Wallboard products are produced with a variety of additional additives providing improved fire resistive qualities. All PABCO® FLAME CURB® products meet the requirements specified by ASTM in the Standard Specification for Gypsum Board (C 1396 type X). The type X definition in ASTM C 1396 describes a wood-framed wall assembly that when tested in a certified fire testing laboratory to ASTM E 119 Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials achieves a 45 minute rating for 1/2' thick products and an one-hour rating for 5/8" thick products.

5/8" PABCO® FLAME CURB® type X meets or exceeds these requirements in fire resistive performance. Systems are specifically tested at approved laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and Intertek Testing Service using these various core formulas and only those core formulas that successfully pass these stringent fire tests qualify for use on the systems listed by those laboratories.

5/8" PABCO® FLAME CURB® type X is the standard for one-hour fire-resistive wood- or metal-framed walls. Two layers of 5/8" PABCO® FLAME CURB® type X direct attached to ceiling framing is defined by the building codes as providing one-hour protection.
