Anyone have experience with this product from GP when it comes to impact resistance?
Application would be starting at either 4′ or 8′ above the floor in a winery (think Fork Lifts!)and it would be applied over ICF forms first 4′-8′ would be Hardi Panel over ICF . Trying to find some workable alternative to what has been spec’d.
Cost versus standard type “X” ?
Edit: Thanks to Plumbill for the correction!

"of the floor" or above the floor?

"Above" , Thanks for the edit. I will go back and correct my phrase.

LOL, I was going to tell ya it wouldn't hold up to forklift traffic.
They use it on our jobs in wet areas.
Pretty strong stuff, but if you hit it inbetween the studs it will break just like everything else.

With ICF walls there won't be any voids behind the wall board. The foam forms should provide enough backing to protect against incidental damage. More likely damage is either from a fork being driven all the way into the wall to stop against the inner concrete ( I have seen enough fork lift damage to know not much will stop a determinedly careless operator)or from scuffing and scraping along the wall surface as things are moved. Specs now call for a lot of stucco . Just looking for alternatives.

What's your plans to finish the wallboard with?

Simple smooth wall finish on the drywall. Some of the DensArmour has a face that can be finished and accept paint, some does not. Specs actually called for a form of "Rhino Hide" in some places, but at $10-12 a sq. ft applied I don't think that is going to happen. In others an elastomeric paint. Budget makes it look like the elastomeric paint everywhere at about $1.60 a ft.
Idea is to make it water resistant as possible and yet tough.
We are still kicking ides around on what will or won't work within the budget.

For an upscale look, how about Ipe or Massarunduba-Definetely water resistant and tougher than any drywall or fiber cement or stucco.
Apparently you missed the "Budget" part of the post. ;-)

Not really,
I get Ipe 1x6 at about 1.69 lf or 3.60 sf. Obviously labor will be more, but very few of the things listed can win against a forklift. Ipe could hold it own for a while. If you consider long term cost vs initial I think the Ipe is the winner hands down.
Just trying to upsell on you.

have you looked at this stuff?

No ,
I will have to check it out and see how it stacks up against the other products we are looking at. Thanks for the tip.

Dens armour is no stonger than regular 5/8th rock, but it does cost nearly twice as much I believe.
Is impact board not a choice? http://www.usg.com/navigate.do?resource=/USG_Marketing_Content/usg.com/web_files/products/prod_family_overview/Fiberock_Brand_Fiber-Reinforced_Gypsum_Panels-PFO.htm

Trust in God, but row away from the rocks.
Certainly looks like it. I will add it to the list of items to talk to the drywaller about. Thanks for the tip!
