EPiC database - Plasterboard - 10 mm

This material is part of the free Environmental Performance in Construction (EPiC) Database. The EPiC Database contains embodied environmental flow coefficients for 250+ construction materials using a comprehensive hybrid life cycle inventory approach.Plasterboard, also known as gypsum board, is a wall and ceiling lining material manufactured from gypsum, water and paper. A gypsum-based plaster is sandwiched between two layers of paper. The plaster often contains a paper or fibreglass fibre as well as various additives. After the plaster sets it is then dried in a large drying chamber. It is then cured at high temperatures before being cut to size.Plasterboard is used to provide a lining for internal walls and ceilings. A variety of product types are available, including acoustic-rated, fire-rated and moisture-resistant plasterboard. It is typically finished with paint once installed. It has a relatively low durability and is thus easily damaged, but can usually be repaired with gypsum plaster products. It comes in standard sizes, typically 1200 × 2400 mm, 1200 × 4800 mm and 1200 × 6000 mm and 10 or 13 mm thick. The 13 mm board is generally used in commercial applications due to its better durability and acoustic properties.

本材料为免费的环境性能在建筑（EPiC）数据库的一部分。EPiC数据库包含超过250种建筑材料的固碳环境流动系数，采用全面混合生命周期清单方法编制。石膏板，亦称石膏板，是一种由石膏、水和纸制成的墙面和天花板覆层材料。石膏层被夹在两层纸之间。石膏中通常含有纸张或玻璃纤维以及各种添加剂。石膏凝固后，在大型干燥室内进行干燥。随后在高温下进行固化处理，再切割至所需尺寸。石膏板用于内部墙面和天花板的覆层。产品类型多样，包括吸音、防火和防潮石膏板。安装后通常以油漆进行表面处理。其耐用性相对较低，因此易于损坏，但通常可以用石膏抹灰产品进行修复。石膏板有标准尺寸，通常为1200×2400毫米、1200×4800毫米和1200×6000毫米，厚度为10或13毫米。由于13毫米厚板的耐用性和声学性能更佳，通常用于商业应用。
