SoundBreak®XP®
SoundBreak XP Acoustically
Enhanced Gypsum Board
●Superior Sound Damping
●Acoustical Enhanced for High Rated
STC Wall Assemblies
●Mold/Mildew/Moisture Resistant
●Approved For Use on Walls and Ceilings
Soundbreak XP Gypsum Board is an acoustically
enhanced gypsum board used in the construction
of high STC wall assemblies. This innovative gypsum
board allows for construction of high STC wall
assemblies that are thinner, cost effective and more
reliable than traditional methods for constructing
these types of assemblies.
SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board has an acoustically
enhanced, high density gypsum core encased
in a heavy, abrasion and mold/mildew/moisture
resistant, 100% recycled, purple paper on both
sides. Used in construction of high rated STC
wall assemblies, SoundBreak XP consists of a layer
of viscoelastic damping polymer sandwiched
between two pieces of high density mold resistant
gypsum board, providing constrained layer
damping.
MARKET TRENDS DRIVING THE NEED FOR HIGHER
RATED STC WALL PARTITIONS
Increasing land costs have resulted in larger amounts of
high density multi-family housing in a growing number of
United States housing markets. The result of high density
housing is individual living units positioned closer together
than traditional single-family housing.
Home theatre systems are becoming more prevalent in
use and sophistication, resulting in the potential for more
noise being transmitted between wall partitions.
Commercial buildings such as schools, hospitals and
hotels also have an increasing need to control sound
between areas of a building.
All of these changing market dynamics have resulted in an
increased need for higher rated Sound Transmission Class
(STC) wall partitions, which reduce the transmission of air-
borne sound between living spaces within buildings.

FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Resists the growth of mold per ASTM G 21 with a score
of 0, the best possible score.
• Resists the growth of mold per ASTM D 3272 with a
score of 10, the best possible score.
• Use of SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board results in wall
partitions with high rated STC values that are thinner
than traditionally built high rated STC wall partitions
providing increased usable floor space.
• Superior sound damping, cost-efficient material that
is easily finished and decorated in the same manner
as standard gypsum board.
• All SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board designs were tested
by an independent third-party acoustical laboratory
using the full-scale ASTM E90 test procedure.
• Heavy abrasion resistant paper and denser core
provide greater resistance to surface abuse and
indentation when tested in accordance with
ASTM C 1629.
• Features a smooth, heavy face paper that is highly
resistant to scuffing and provides a superior surface
for decoration.
• 5/8" SoundBreak XP features a fire resistant Type X
core and is UL Classified and approved for inclusion
in specific UL fire-rated designs.
• SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board is GREENGUARD
Children & SchoolsSM Certified for indoor air quality.
• Approved for use on walls and ceilings.
LIMITATIONS
• Exposure to excessive or continuous moisture and
extreme temperatures should be avoided.
SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board is not recommended
where it will be exposed to temperatures exceeding
125°F (52°C) for extended periods of time.
• Installing SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board panels over
an insulating blanket, installed continuously across
the face of the framing members, is not recommend
ed. Blankets should be recessed and flanges
attached to the sides of the studs.
• SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board must be stored off the
ground and under cover. Sufficient risers must be
used to ensure support for the entire length of the
gypsum board to prevent sagging.
• SoundBreak XP Gypsum Board must be kept dry to
minimize the potential for mold growth. Adequate
care should be taken while transporting, storing,
applying and maintaining SoundBreak XP Gypsum
Board. For additional information, refer to the Gypsum
Association publication, “Guidelines for the Prevention
of Mold Growth on Gypsum Board” (GA-238-03),
which is available at gypsum.org under the
“Download Free Gypsum Association Publications”
section.

WHAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE STC RATING FOR A
WALL PARTITION?
National Research Council of Canada Survey
•600 multi-family residences (300 party walls
between them)
•Residents with lower STC rated walls are more
likely to:
Want to move
Be awakened by noises
Have trouble falling asleep due to noises
Think neighbors are less considerate
GENERAL SURVEY CONCLUSIONS
•STC≥55 - A realistic goal for acceptable sound
insulation
•STC≥60 - More ideal, would practically eliminate
negative effects of noise from neighbors
•Music related sounds may require the highest
rated walls
J.S. Bradley, Deriving Acceptable Values for Party Wall Sound
Insulation survey results
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS IN ACOUSTICAL
WALL PARTITIONS
The goal of a high rated STC wall partition is to
decrease the amount of sound transmission through the
partition. The following five variables can have impact
on the ability of the partition to provide this loss.
Mass
Increasing the mass of a wall partition increases the
amount of sound transmission loss. Increasing mass in
a cost and space effective way can be a challenge.
Stiffness
Increasing the stiffness of a wall partition will decrease
the amount of sound transmission loss. For that reason
metal studs outperform wood studs, and 24" o.c.
framing spacing outperforms 16" o.c. framing spacing.
Damping
Introduction of damping will increase the amount of
sound transmission loss. In particular, constrained
layer damping can be effective for structure type
applications.
Cavity Depth
Increasing the depth of the cavity of the partition can
increase the amount of sound transmission loss, espe-
cially when the cavity is filled with acoustical insulation.
Cavity Absorption
Adding sound-absorbing material such as fiberglass or
mineral fiber insulation to the cavity of a partition will
increase the amount of sound transmission loss. The
sound-absorbing material should completely fill the
cavity but not be compacted or compressed in any
way.
