USG Corporation announced it has created a new lightweight category of
gypsum wallboard with the introduction of its Sheetrock Brand UltraLight Panels.
The lightweight gypsum panels are up to 30 percent lighter than the competition,
making installation easier and faster. The panels combine proprietary
formulations and processes with new patented technologies that were invented at
USG’s Corporate Innovation Center, located in Libertyville, Ill. The panels utilize colloidal chemistry to
feature a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio and improved sag
resistance. The lightweight panels meet all International Building Code,
International Residential Code and ASTM C1396 Specification for Gypsum Board,
for both 1/2-inch gypsum wallboard and 1/2-inch gypsum ceiling board. The panels
are ideal for use on ceilings with up to 24-inch, on-center framing and
water-based texture, presenting potential cost-savings when used as a
replacement for 5/8-inch type X board used on ceilings or 1/2-inch interior
ceiling board. The panels are available in standard lengths, including 8-, 10-,
12-, 14- and 16-foot panels in 48- and 54-inch widths. For more information,
