What's the difference between RTD and CDX plywood for sheathing (walls

RTD is short for "Rated." Rated for what? Well, it should be written
on the panel.

If it says "RTD SHTG", that means it's APA rated for use as sheathing,
and would thus be approptiate for your use on walls and roof.

It is sold as "sheathing" so I assume it is rated for sheathing. My
question is what the fundamental differences between RTD and CDX. I
know what CDX means, I wonder why it is twice as expensive as RTD.
