Which Is Better Gypsum Board Or Calcium Silicate Board? - LCETED

Calcium Silicate Board and Gypsum Board are two completely different products, but because their applications are similar, they are often confused.

Gypsum plasterboard mainly uses plaster as the main ingredient. has a special paper for surface protection.

PROPERTIES OF GYPSUM PLASTERBOARD

1.   Lightweight,

2.   High strength,

3.   Thermal insulation,

4.   Simple construction and more.

USED IN

Gypsum boards are widely used in residential, office buildings, shops, hotels and industrial plants, and other buildings within the wall, such as wall panels (instead of wall plaster tile), roofs, sound-absorbing panels, floorboards and decorations.

The Calcium Silicate Board is made mainly of siliceous materials and calcium materials by various manufacturing process methods.

PROPERTIES OF CALCIUM SILICATE BOARD

1.   Fireproof

2.   Waterproof

3.   Lightweight

4.   Long life

5.   Thermal insulation

6.   High density.

USED IN

Ceiling and partitions, home furnishings, furniture, billboards, ship's liner board, ship's wardrobe, warehouse floor, the site's network, and wall interior. Calcium Silicate Board mostly used in where fireproof and waterproof needed

Difference between Calcium Silicate Board and Gypsum Board

The fireproof and waterproof performance of the gypsum board is relatively low, so it is replaced by a calcium silicate board. Calcium silicate board is one of the most important products in the future development of a lightweight, high-strength wall-sharing system.

Calcium Silicate Board as a new eco-friendly building material, except that it covers all the functions of traditional drywall, and has superior fireproof and moisture resistant environment. Furthermore, it has the benefit of longer useful life of the application.

As a result, many industrial and commercial projects use calcium silicate board to create ceilings and partitions, billboards, shipping boards, warehouse ceilings, mines, and other interior projects.

The calcium silicate board is composed of silicified materials (mainly quartz powder, coal ash, diatomite, etc.) made of SiO2, calcium materials (mainly CaO, lime, calcium carbide earth, cement), reinforced fibres and other additives.

Use advanced manufacturing technology of moulding, pressure, high-temperature steam and other specialized technical processes for calcium silicate board prepared according to a specific proportion of the various compounds.

CONCULSION

Therefore, compared to the gypsum board, the calcium silicate board has the great advantage of being waterproof, fireproof, thermal insulation, sound insulation, high strength, corrosion resistance and long application life. With technological advances and the development of home furnishings in many countries, the calcium silicate board has replaced the gypsum board in many areas.
