Gypsum board, gypsum board encyclopedia, what is gypsum board?

2025-11-04

Gypsum board is a material made primarily from building gypsum. It is a lightweight, high-strength, thin, and easy-to-process building material with good sound insulation, heat insulation, and fire resistance properties, and is one of the new lightweight building materials that are currently being developed.

Q: What are the uses of gypsum board?

In the late 19th century, various countries began to use gypsum board for interior partitions. In the 1970s, China began to experiment with and produce paper-faced gypsum board and hollow gypsum strips, and applied them in construction projects.

Lightweight partition walls made of gypsum board or hollow gypsum strips can be used to divide interior spaces. They are simple in construction and easy to process and install. These partition walls usually use steel and wood framing and can be combined with other materials (such as mineral wool board, waterproof coating and decorative materials) to form partition walls with sound insulation, waterproofing or high-end decoration requirements, depending on the usage requirements.

The gypsum board uses a special paper surface that is lightweight and high-strength.


Features: Fireproof and moisture-resistant, soundproof, heat-insulating, earthquake-resistant and heat-insulating, quick to install and construct.

Applications: Widely used in wall, ceiling and surface decoration projects for residential buildings.


The core board uses high-frequency foaming technology and adds fiber filaments, which has strong nail holding power, does not crack, and has good toughness; the paper surface uses high-quality high-grammage paper to increase the overall strength, making it lightweight and sturdy, preventing paper from falling off, and ensuring a smooth board surface; it also contains five-alkali refractory fibers, which give it a certain fire-resistant function.


There are many types of gypsum board

Based on different functions

Divided into the following 6 types


Negative ion gypsum board has the function of releasing negative ions. According to authoritative testing, negative ion gypsum board releases an average of 2710 negative ions per second/cm2, creating a forest oxygen bar at home.

In addition, it also has sterilization, UV protection, photocatalysis, self-cleaning, and antibacterial functions, ushering in a new era of healthy home living.

The finely crafted formaldehyde-free gypsum board is manufactured using German technology and features environmentally friendly red face paper decoration. The board itself does not contain formaldehyde, and advanced technology is used to process the auxiliary materials to give it formaldehyde-free properties. The board surface is beautifully cut around the edges, making it flat, smooth, and easy to process.

Waterproof and formaldehyde-free gypsum board uses double-sided green paper surface, and a certain amount of waterproofing agent and silicone oil are added to the gypsum core material. Through advanced technology, these are evenly distributed in the gypsum board body, and the waterproof function reaches the industry-leading level!

Formaldehyde-free gypsum board for home decoration uses building gypsum as the main raw material, with appropriate additives and fibers as the core, and is made with special paper as the surface. It has many advantages such as heat insulation, fire resistance, moisture resistance, sound insulation, and convenient construction, and is widely used in various industrial and civil buildings.

High-strength formaldehyde-free gypsum board uses a single-sided ivory white/green paper surface. It is pressed with high pressure and the amount of water added is reduced, resulting in lower porosity after the slurry hardens, and thus higher strength and density.

Formaldehyde-free gypsum board uses single-sided ivory white paper, which is formaldehyde-free and processed with world-class advanced technology. It is fire-resistant, wear-resistant, and easy to process, and is widely used in engineering decoration.
