USG Interiors produces a family of X-technology wet felted acoustical ceiling panels at its Cloquet, MN, facility having
various light reflectance, noise reduction, and attenuation specifications with various levels of post-consumer/industrial
recycled content. The X-technology wet felted production line at the Cloquet facility employs a wet-felted technology in the

production of acoustical ceiling panels. X-technology wet felted acoustical ceiling panels contain mostly mineral wool,
starch and latex. In smaller amounts, other raw materials used in the panel forming process include flocculants, biocides
and de-foamer. The finishing and packaging unit processes are dominated by the use of water-based paint, which
contains ingredients such as calcium carbonate, clay, latex, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and other chemicals. Shrink-wrap and
corrugated strip are used as packing materials.
USG Interiors, LLC also produces a family of grid products at its Westlake, OH, Cartersville, GA, Oakville, ON, Canada
and Stockton, CA facilities. This family of grid products coordinates with USG Ceilings Mars ClimaPlus panels and
includes 8 grid profiles including DX/DXL, DXW, DXT, DXF, DXFF and DXI. Each profile is available in Intermediate Duty
and Heavy Duty weight. Grid production encompasses the third-party production of the hot-dipped galvanized steel coils,
transport of these coils to USG fabrication facilities where the steel coil is cleaned, coated (optional depending on
intended purpose) and slit and optionally transported to additional production facilities where the coated steel is formed
into finished grid components. These finished grid components are then packaged in cardboard boxes.
