Knight-Celotex Exterior Structural Sheathing. "SturdyBrace"

(OP)
Thank you to all that helped with my last Question.

My company is currently using a product made by Knight-Celotex called "SturdyBrace". From the information I have SturdyBrace meets all National Building codes for Exterior Structural Sheathing up to three stories. SturdyBrace is an Asphalt imprenated product that my company is using across the country i.e. Denver, Dallas, Chicago, and Pittsburgh etc.. They want me to start using this product on my projects in Northern California because of the great results and price stability on other projects accross the country. I am not familiar with this product, Can anybody help by providing information on how and where this product is being used in California. I have to get answers on why or why not it is acceptable in California.

All help is much appriciated.

Thank you all for your help.

I would check with the building code official in your area for wind and sesmic requirements.Structural fiberboard is good for 110 mile an hour wind zones and sescmic zones A,B,C.

What are the standard size sheets of steel sheathing for shearwalls in 20 gauge thickness?  We are working on some plans that calls for replacing OSB with the 20 gauge steel sheathing on our top floors only.
