MAT-FACED GYPSUM BOARD AND METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF

摘要

A mat-faced gypsum board and method of making thereof is provided having a particulate matter applied on an inner surface of the facer mat and extending partially into the mat from the inner surface thereof. The particulate matter, which is preferably a hydratable powder such as calcium sulfate hemihydrate, minimizes and, preferably, prevents bleed through of a gypsum slurry during formation of the gypsum board.
