Plasterboard

Plasterboard

Plasterboard, also known as gypsum board, drywall, or wallboard, is a lightweight panel used for interior walls and ceilings. It is made primarily from gypsum, a naturally occurring mineral, combined with plasticizers, foaming agents, and water reducers to enhance workability, strength, and fire resistance.

Plasterboard is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial construction due to its cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and sustainability.

Plasticizers

Plasticizers are chemical additives that improve the workability and consistency of the gypsum slurry used in plasterboard manufacturing. By reducing water demand, plasticizers help create a flowable mixture, allowing for smoother application, better adhesion, and reduced drying time. This results in stronger, more uniform plasterboard panels with enhanced durability.

Superplasticizers

Superplasticizers are advanced plasticizers that provide higher water reduction efficiency than standard plasticizers. They improve gypsum dispersion, ensuring a denser, more compact structure in the final plasterboard. This makes plasterboard lighter, stronger, and more resistant to deformation while improving its load-bearing capacity.

Water-Reducing Agents

Water-reducing agents are essential additives that lower the water content required to create a workable gypsum slurry. These agents optimise the drying process, leading to faster production cycles and higher initial strength in plasterboard. Additionally, they help minimise cracking, shrinkage, and excess moisture absorption, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Foaming Agents for Plasterboard

Foaming agents are surface-active compounds that introduce air bubbles into the gypsum slurry, creating a lighter, more porous plasterboard. This improves thermal and sound insulation, making it ideal for interior wall applications. The controlled foaming process ensures uniform panel density, making plasterboard easier to cut, handle, and install.
