<strong>Acoustical</strong> Mineral Fiber<br />
<strong>USG</strong>-ME Products are Classified according to ASTM E1264 as the<br />
following:<br />
1 | Types (III, IV, X, XII, XX)<br />
Type III: Mineral base with painted finish<br />
Type IV: Mineral base with membrane-faced overlay.<br />
Type X: Mineral base with plastic or aluminium membrane- faced<br />
overlay, or both.<br />
Type XII: Glass fiber base with membrane-faced.<br />
Type XX: Other types.<br />
2 | Forms (1,2,4)<br />
Form 1: Nodular (X-Technology)<br />
Form 2: Water felted<br />
Form 4: Cast or moulded<br />
3 | Patterns (C, D, E, F, G, I, K, Z)<br />
C: Perforated, small holes<br />
D: Fissured<br />
E: Lightly textured<br />
F: Heavily textured<br />
G: Smooth<br />
I: Embossed<br />
K: Surface scored<br />
Z: Other Patterns( describe)<br />
4 | <strong>Acoustical</strong> ratings (NRC, CAC)<br />
5 | Light reflectance values (LR)<br />
6 | Fire class ( Class A, Fire Code)<br />
<strong>USG</strong> is curently the only manufacturer in the industry with<br />
the capabilities to produce ceiling panels with five different<br />
substrate technologies for various uses and needs.<br />
1 | Water - Felted<br />
2 | Cast<br />
3 | X-Technology<br />
4 | Fiberglass<br />
5 | Gypsum based ceilings<br />
Manufacturing Technologies<br />
• “ X” Technology is a unique manufacturing method wich was<br />
developed and introduced to the market by <strong>USG</strong> in 1989.<br />
This technology produces ceiling panels with ClimaPlus sag<br />
resistance and exceptional acoustical performance.<br />
• Wet-felted panels are typically mechanically perforated and<br />
fissured. They are very dense and more economical than other types<br />
of ceiling panels.<br />
• Cast panels are naturally textured and provide a unique, integral<br />
colour throughout the panel substrate with very good acoustical<br />
performance and enhanced extreme durability.<br />
