Overview
Here is the honest answer first: the pink board is the same board. Same XPS core, same cementitious coating over fiberglass mesh, same test reports. The dye in the core changes. The numbers do not.
So why offer it? Because color is not nothing on a jobsite. Some distributors stock pink because their customers recognize it. Some builders like a color that marks the wet zone the moment the delivery lands. And some markets simply buy more of one color than another — we ship teal-green most, pink close behind. You pick the color; the performance is already decided.
The numbers, from our own test reports: 0.8% water absorption after 96 hours of immersion. 361 kPa compressive strength. Thermal conductivity of 0.030 W/(m·K). Grade 0 mold resistance, and formaldehyde release at 0.018 mg/(m²·h) — E0 class. Every batch is tested to EN 13164, and the reports are one email away.
At 10 mm nominal (9.5 mm actual), this is the wall board of the system. It goes on steel or timber studs in showers and bathrooms, wraps pipes, backs wall-hung toilets and builds dry-wet separation walls. A standard sheet covers 2.98 m² at 1,220 × 2,440 mm, and cuts clean with a utility knife — no diamond blade, no dust cloud.
Where it does not belong: shower floors and leveling beds (use 20 mm and up), and ceilings where you need the rated Rw,P 23 dB sound reduction — that number comes from the 12 mm board. Specify the 10 mm for walls and it will outlast the tile in front of it.

Fixing
Board joints take a 10 mm gap, specialized anchors and self-tapping screws with washers at roughly 300 mm spacing, then self-adhesive mesh tape bedded into waterproof sealant over every joint and corner. One system, one material. The full sequence is in our installation guide — free with a sample request.
Complete the System
One material system, one fixing pattern — these usually ship together.
