6 History of Gypsum Board Gypsum rock was first mined in It was sold and shipped by local traders to be used as fertilizer. Th fi t b d The first gypsum board was patented in 1917.

7 What are the two types of gypsum?

8 Natural Gypsum Natural gypsum is a common mineral that is easily mined or quarried. It is generally found close to the surface of the earth. Gypsum deposits are found all over the world. Experts believe that they are a result of seas which once covered the land. States with the largest quantity of gypsum deposits in the United States are: New York, Michigan, Iowa, Texas, and California.

9 Synthetic Gypsum Synthetic Gypsum is a by-product of cleaning the emissions of the coal burning power plants. When the coal burns, Sulfur Dioxide (SO 2 ) is captured in the coal stacks so it is not released into the environment. By chemically combining a slurry of limestone (calcium carbonate) and water with the SO 2, high h purity gypsum is formed.

10 How is gypsum board manufactured?

11 Manufacturing Gypsum rock is mined, crushed, dried and ground to a fine powder.

12 Manufacturing Manufacturing Gypsum rock is mined, crushed, dried and ground to a fine powder. The powder is calcined to drive off the remaining chemically combined water. (This produces a product commonly called plaster of Paris or stucco. )

13 Manufacturing Manufacturing Gypsum rock is mined, crushed, dried and ground to a fine powder. The powder is calcined to drive off the remaining chemically combined water. (This produces a product commonly called plaster of Paris or stucco. ) The calcined gypsum is mixed with water and other ingredients to form a slurry which is fed between two continuous rolls of paper.

(This produces a product commonly called plaster of Paris or stucco. ) The calcined gypsum is mixed with water and other ingredients to form a slurry which is fed between two continuous rolls of paper. As the paper slurry sandwich moves down the conveyor line, the gypsum rehydrates and returns to its original rock state.

19 What are the common ingredients in gypsum board?

20 Common Gypsum Board Ingredients Regular Gypsum Wallboard Ingredients Plaster of Paris (stucco) Starch Water

21 Gypsum Board Product Matrix This matrix helps to show the evolution of gypsum board. This product has evolved from an interior only yproduct to and exterior and now specialty yproduct which the A&D community has relied on for higher performance systems. Speci ialty Basic Shaftliner Impact resistant t Abuse resistant Mold resistant High Flex High strength ceiling board Moisture resistant Plaster base board Regular board Fire rated board Interior Cement Board Soffit board Gypsum sheathing Glass mat sheathing Gypsum fiberboard Exterior

22 Gypsum Board Gypsum sheathing Gypsum soffit board Specialty Sheathing Cement board Exterior Sheathings Gypsum sheathing and Gypsum soffit board can be used for exterior applications. These product have moisture resistant properties which allows the product to weather the elements for a short period of time. Some of the specialty sheathing include cement backer board and fiber reinforced sheathings.

23 Exterior Gypsum Sheathing Used to keep core of building dry Types of gypsum sheathing Gypsum sheathing (paper faced) Glass-mat (fiberglass faced) Fiber cellulose (fiber wood composite)

24 Gypsum Sheathing Attributes Treated facings Water resistant on front, back and long edges Low cost Easy to apply Readily available These products must comply with ASTM C 79/ C 1396

25 Gypsum Sheathing Applications Wood and steel stud framing Curtain wall systems and exterior insulation systems Fire rated exterior wall assemblies 5/8 Type X 4 x 8, 9, 10

26 Soffit Board Attributes and Applications Exterior Soffit Board Fire resistant gypsum board Extra resistant to moisture and sagging in outdoor conditions Setting compounds must be used to treat t joints Gypsum board is painted as final finishi This product should comply with ASTM C 931 / C 1396

27 Cement Board Sheathings

28 Cement Board Attributes Cement board should have less than <8% Water absorption per ASTM C 473 Cementicious core, fiberglass reinforced panel Complies with ANSI A118.9 & ASTM C1325 Impact and weather resistant Shear value between gypsum sheathing and structural wood panel

29 Cement Board Exterior Applications Sheathing and soffit areas in cement board stucco systems Tile and/or stone substrate Swimming pool areas Residential and light commercial

30 CBS System Components The most important past of a cement board stucco system is the p p y moisture barrier, cement board, and flashing.

31 ½ thick Flexible Cement Board Available in a 4 x8 sheet Uniform curved surface 6 minimum i radius for 90 º corners Innovative and creative applications

32 Interior Gypsum Board Applications Walls Ceilings

33 Interior Products There are five types of gypsum board product that are considered standard (left). Innovation has created several new products now available (right). Standard d Gypsum Board Regular core Flexible board Type X - fire resistant Moisture resistant Plaster baseboard Specialty Gypsum Board Interior ceiling board Mold and moisture resistant Shaftliner Abuse resistant Impact resistant ASTM C 1396 (new standard)

34 Edge Configurations Tapered (market preference) Square (sheathing and plaster base) Round (specialty edge) Beveled (shaftliner)

35 Regular Core ¼ and ¼ flex ⅜ ½ Sizes: 4 x8,9,10,12 54 wide board - has become very popular in residential applications. This product helps to eliminate belly bands and other unwanted butt ends which are typically very difficult to finish.

36 Fire Rated ½ Type C (enhanced Type X ) ⅝ Type X ⅝ Type C (enhanced Type X ) 1 Shaftliner Look for UL stamp on all fire resistant t products.

37 Moisture Resistant Commonly called Green Board ASTM C 630 / C 1396 Core is treated to withstand moisture Water repellant paper on the face, back, and edges ½ regular ⅝ Type X and Type C

38 Moisture Resistant Applications Residential bath areas with limited exposure to moisture Base for ceramic tile Not for direct exposure to water or high humidity Not for saunas, steam rooms, gang showers or pool enclosures There is a new IRC code change in This change indicates that no gypsum based product can be used in a wet area under this residential code.

39 Who has adopted the IRC & IBC? The IRC/IBC now recommends a cement backer board of ALL wet areas.

40 Plaster Base Board Commonly called Blue Board Veneer base used to apply plaster systems Highly absorptive face paper Typically square and tapered edge One coat or Two coat systems
