Abstract:
A joint tape for drywall includes a substrate layer having an elongate shape in a lengthwise direction and being flexible in the lengthwise direction and in a transverse direction. The tape further includes a covering layer disposed in bonding relation on the substrate layer. The covering layer is rigid in the transverse direction and configured to withstand compressive forces applied generally in the transverse direction and shear stresses applied generally along the transverse direction.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are gypsum products with at least one high efficiency heat sink additive. The gypsum products, e.g., gypsum panels, are less susceptible to the damaging effects of extreme heat as the temperature rises due to the presence of the at least one additive.
