International Classification:
C04B 11/00
US Classification:
106772, 106778
Abstract:
A gypsum slurry is described that includes water, a hydraulic component comprising at least 50% calcined gypsum by weight based on the dry weight of the hydraulic component, foam, a defoamer and a polycarboxylate dispersant. In some embodiments of the invention, the defoamer is combined with the dispersant prior to being added to the gypsum slurry. The defoamer and dispersant can be added as a physical mixture, wherein the defoamer is attached onto the dispersant polymer, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, a gypsum building panel is made from the gypsum slurry.

Method Of Making A Coating And A Coated Acoustical Panel Using Degraded Fibers

View page
US Patent:
8182652, May 22, 2012
Filed:
Mar 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/729801
Inventors:
Mark Englert - Libertyville IL, US
Runhai Lu - Wauconda IL, US
Matthew Langdon - Cloquet MN, US
Assignee:
United States Gypsum Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
D21F 11/00
US Classification:
162129
Abstract:
An acoustical panel is made by applying a thin, acoustically-transparent coating to an acoustical base mat. A pulp is made from one or more fillers, a fibrous filler, a binder and water. A thickener solution is prepared from a thickener and water. A portion of the pulp and the thickener solution are mixed under high shear conditions to degrade the fibrous filler and form a smooth coating. The coating is applied to and distributed over a base mat and the coated base mat is then cut and dried to form a coated acoustical panel. The panel is free of visible mineral nodules on the surface of the coating. Optionally, the pulp is a portion of a pulp used to make the base mat. Other embodiments include the use of recycled dust or fine particles of the acoustical panel obtained from cutting or shaping the base mat or coated panels.

Effective Use Of Melamine Sulfonate Condensate Dispersants In Wallboard Containing Foam

View page
US Patent:
20120172468, Jul 5, 2012
Filed:
Jun 6, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/153670
Inventors:
David R. Blackburn - Barrington IL, US
Michael P. Shake - Johnsburg IL, US
Runhai Lu - Wauconda IL, US
International Classification:
C04B 28/12
C04B 28/04
US Classification:
521 83
Abstract:
Effective use of dispersants in wallboard containing foam results from a method where stucco is mixed with a first dispersant and a first quantity of water to form a gypsum slurry. A soap is blended with a second dispersant and a second quantity of water to make a foam. Subsequently, the foam is combined with the slurry. Choice of different first and second dispersants and their relative amounts allows control of the size distribution of the foam bubbles in the slurry and the resulting voids in the gypsum core. Melamine sulfonate condensate and polycarboxylate dispersants are preferred dispersants.

International Classification:
B32B 13/08
B32B 29/06
B32B 29/00
B32B 3/26
C04B 28/14
Abstract:
Gypsum boards formed from synthetic gypsum and other gypsum sources having high chloride salt concentrations. Gypsum boards may include a board core including set gypsum. A total concentration of the chloride anion in the board core ranges from about 500 ppm to about 3000 ppm, typically about 1000 ppm to about 3000 ppm, based on weight of the calcium sulfate hemihydrate. An inner surface of a front paper cover sheet contacts a first face of the board core. An inner surface of a back paper cover sheet contacts a second face of the board core. A starch layer coats the inner surface of at least one of the front and back cover sheet. Methods of making the gypsum board, and a wall system for employing the gypsum boards, are also provided.
