Abstract

See full text

Paper and/or mat-faced gypsum board is prepared by applying a relatively thin coating of aqueous gypsum slurry containing a polyvinyl alcohol binder to one or two facer sheets. The polyvinyl alcohol binder provides adequate adhesion between the set gypsum core and the adjacent facer sheet(s) without the need for starch or other conventional binders. In one embodiment, polyvinyl alcohol is concentrated in one or more regions of the core adjacent to the facer sheet(s). In another embodiment, polyvinyl alcohol is applied to an aqueous gypsum slurry used to form the bulk core, such that the polyvinyl alcohol is present throughout the core.
