DURABLE EDGE CEILING BOARD

摘要

This invention provides a ceiling board having a durable edge portion. The durable edge portion is obtained by applying a latex composition to the edge portion. The latex composition includes a binder and filler particles of two particle size ranges. The first filler particles have a median diameter of about 0.5 micron to about 5 microns. The second filler particles have a median diameter of about 20 microns to about 300 microns. The ratio of first filler particles to second filler particles is about 2:1 to about 1:8 by weight. The binds is preferably an epoxy, a urethane, a polyester, an acrylic, a melamine, or a vinyl based polymer latex. The binder preferably has a Tg of at least 10.degree.C, and the ratio of filler to binder is about 2:1 to about 12:1 by weight.
