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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>

石膏板（Plasterboard，又称gypsum board）是以石膏、水与纸为原料制成的内墙及吊顶饰面材料。其生产工艺为将石膏基膏体夹置于两层纸面之间，膏体中通常还会添加纸纤维或玻璃纤维以及各类添加剂。待膏体固化后，将其置于大型干燥室中烘干，随后经高温养护，最后裁切至指定尺寸。

石膏板主要用于为内墙和吊顶提供饰面。目前已有多种产品类型可供选择，包括声学分级型、防火分级型及防潮型石膏板。安装完成后通常需涂刷油漆进行饰面处理。该材料耐久性相对较低，易受损坏，但通常可使用石膏基抹灰产品进行修复。其多采用标准规格生产，常见尺寸包括1200×2400 mm、1200×4800 mm及1200×6000 mm，厚度则多为10 mm或13 mm。其中13 mm厚的板材因具备更优的耐久性与声学性能，多用于商业建筑应用场景。
