Standards & Test Reports

Thank you for your interest in DRAGONBOARD family line of products. DRAGONBOARD is a U.S. patented, UL approved fire resistant, high impact construction panel that is well suited for both interior and exterior sheathing applications. With its mold resistance, fire resistance and high impact properties it should be used whenever there is a high value placed on building contents and equipment or when health and safety concerns exist. Applications include single-family homes, apartment complexes, commercial high-rise buildings, theaters, museums, schools, hospitals, retail, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, airports, subway stations, tunnels, fire separations, etc.

Features & Benefits

• DRAGONBOARD can be used with wood or light-gauge steel framing.
• DRAGONBOARD's diaphragm stiffness allows distributed loads of over 240 psf (1172 kg/m2) for L/360 when supported on 16" (406 mm) centers and 360 psf (1758 kg/m2) for L/240. Flexural strength is equivalent to concrete at approximately 3000 psi (20,670 kPa) in compression.
• DRAGONBOARD can be used in heavy commercial construction with the assembly consisting of I-beam construction and Type B corrugated decking in spans up to 5' (1.5 m), thus eliminating costly and time-consuming concrete pours.
• DRAGONBOARD significantly reduces installation costs, offering savings of 20 - 85% over competing products, depending on the application.
• DRAGONBOARD is a non-nutrient to mold or fungus per ASTM G21 and does not support insect life. It provides superior moisture resistance in high-humidity areas and combats the growth of mold and mildew.
• DRAGONBOARD is completely waterproof. It will not disintegrate when immersed in water or exposed to freeze/thaw cycles for prolonged periods of time.

Limitations

Where exposed to high-moisture conditions or water, panels must be sealed or painted to preclude water absorption or staining.
Align control joints with building structure control joints.
