e²XP Sheathing is a moisture and mold resistant gypsum board designed for curtainwall and soffit framing as a water resistant underlayment for various exterior materials.  e²XP Sheathing is manufactured with an enhanced moisture and mold resistant core and facer.  The facer is composed of a coated fiberglass mat which provides superior weather resistant capabilities.  It is produced in 1/2” and 5/8” thicknesses, 4’ wide in 8’, 9’ and 10’ lengths.  e²XP Sheathing is light-weight, scores and cuts easily, and is specially coated on the front, back and sides for easy handling.

Basic Uses

e²XP Sheathing can be used in both wood and metal stud construction to provide fire resistance, weather protection and to add to structural strength.  e²XP Sheathing can be used as a substrate for various air and water resistive barriers including building wraps, self-adhesive membranes and liquid applied coatings.  It can be used as a component in curtainwall or Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS), and under various exterior finishes such as metal, vinyl, wood or fiber-cement siding; brick/stone veneer, or conventional stucco.  The 5/8” e²XP Fire-Shield® Type X gypsum panel can be utilized for exterior fire-rated wall and soffit assemblies.
