Gold Bond® High Strength Fire-Shield 60® Gypsum Board consists of a fire-resistant, Type X gypsum core specially formulated to be 20% lighter than standard Type X gypsum board.

It is encased in heavy, natural-finish, 100% recycled paper on the face and back sides. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are square-cut and finished smooth.
