GYPSUM WALLBOARD AND RELATED METHODS AND SLURRIES
Disclosed is a gypsum board comprising a set gypsum core disposed between two cover sheets. The set gypsum core is formed from a slurry comprising stucco, water, and at least one pregelatinized starch having a viscosity of from about 20 cP to about 300 cP as measured according to the VMA method described herein. The starch is present in an amount of greater than 10% by weight of the stucco. In preferred embodiments, the board has good strength properties even at lower densities, such as about 31 pcf or less. Also disclosed are a related method of making a gypsum wallboard and a slurry.
