Abstract: An accelerator for accelerating the rate of hydration of calcined gypsum is disclosed. The accelerator comprises calcium sulfate dihydrate particles and a starch. The starch has a cold water solubility of at least about 25% (e.g., at least about 35%) and a viscosity of about 25 Brabender Units (BU) or less when the starch is in a 30% aqueous slurry at 92° C. Also disclosed are a method of preparing an accelerator, method of hydrating stucco to form set gypsum, slurry, and method of making gypsum board.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to manufacture gypsum board that directs an aqueous gypsum slurry to a second cover sheet, and passes the second cover sheet over a roller spaced above a first cover sheet so that a majority of the aqueous gypsum slurry of falls off the second cover sheet to deposit over the first cover sheet. Another aqueous gypsum slurry of a different density than the deposited slurry is applied over the first cover sheet before and/or after the deposited slurry. A gypsum board having layers of different densities is made by the method and apparatus.

Abstract: A method of making a gypsum board including: preparing an aqueous slurry including a mixture of: calcium sulfate hemihydrate, water at a weight ratio of water to calcium sulfate hemihydrate of 0.2:1 to 1.2:1, and on a dry basis per 100 parts by weight (pbw) calcium sulfate hemihydrate: 0.2 to 2 pbw siloxane, 0.01 to 2 pbw siloxane polymerization catalyst including magnesium oxide and optionally fly ash, and 0.01 to 0.2 pbw triethanolamine (TEOA); allowing the siloxane to polymerize to polysiloxane; and depositing the slurry on a first cover sheet and covering the slurry with a second cover sheet to shape the slurry, and allowing the shaped slurry to set to form the gypsum board. Also, disclosed is the gypsum board resulting from the method.

Abstract: Disclosed is gypsum board formed from stucco, water, and at least one migrating starch having a cold-water solubility of at least about 25%. Generally, the starch has a viscosity of less than about 20 centipoise (e.g., from about 1 centipoise to about 20 centipoise), as determined according to the VMA method. Also disclosed are related slurries and methods of preparing gypsum board.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to manufacture gypsum board that directs a first portion of aqueous gypsum slurry to a front cover sheet, directs a second portion of aqueous gypsum slurry to a back cover sheet, passes the back cover sheet over a roller spaced above the front cover sheet so that a majority of the second aqueous gypsum slurry falls off the back cover sheet onto the first portion of aqueous gypsum slurry on the front cover sheet. A gypsum board made by the method or apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composite gypsum board comprising a set gypsum core disposed between face (e.g., Manila) and back (e.g., Newsline) cover sheets. The set gypsum core is formed from a core slurry comprising stucco, water, and optional additives, such as foaming agent, migrating starch, accelerator, retarder, dispersant, etc. A dense layer formed from a dense layer slurry comprising stucco, water, fiber (e.g., paper fiber), and optionally, strength-enhancing starch, is disposed between the core and the face paper. The dense layer slurry contains a greater concentration of fiber, and optionally, strength-enhancing starch, than the core slurry, but the concentration of one or more other additives (e.g., accelerator, retarder, dispersant, or combinations thereof) is lower or the same in the dense slurry as compared with the core slurry. Also disclosed is a method of making board using one board mixer. In embodiments, paper fiber is added to water to form a suspension. The suspension is introduced, while in a non-laminar state, into the dense slurry. Further disclosed is apparatus, such as an extractor and an additive injection system, which can be a part of a cementitious slurry mixing and dispensing assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed are a composite gypsum board and a method of preparing composite gypsum board. The board contains a set gypsum core sandwiched between two cover sheets. The core is formed from a slurry containing stucco, water, and optional ingredients such as foaming agent, accelerator, retarder, polyphosphate, starch, and dispersant, and core intumescent material. The board also contains at least one skim coat and/or hard edges. A face skim coat layer can be included on one side of the core, facing a face cover sheet. A back skim coat layer can be included on the other side of the core, facing a back cover sheet. Hard edges are known in the art and can be formed, e.g., continuously from a stucco slurry for forming the face and/or back skim coats. Preferably, the back skim coat layer and/or the hard edges are formed from a slurry containing stucco, water, skim coat or edge intumescent material (which have the same desired characteristics), and other optional additives as desired. The skim coat or edge intumescent material can be composed of the same material as the core intumescent material, if desired, but the skim coat and/or edge intumescent material is present in a higher relative concentration in its respective slurry than the amount of core intumescent material in the core slurry. Examples of suitable intumescent materials include expandable vermiculite (e.g., No. 4 or No. 5 according to the US naming system, or combinations thereof), expandable graphite, perlite, or any combination thereof.
