Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Gypsum panels, sheathing systems, and methods of making and using the same are provided. A gypsum panel includes a gypsum core associated with a first fiberglass mat having a continuous barrier coating, the coating penetrating a portion of the first fiberglass mat opposite the gypsum core, wherein gypsum penetrates a remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat such that voids in the first fiberglass mat are substantially eliminated. A building sheathing system includes at least two gypsum panels and a seaming component to provide a seam at an interface between the gypsum panels.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A gypsum panel, comprising: a gypsum core associated with a first fiberglass mat having a continuous barrier coating, the coating penetrating a portion of the first fiberglass mat opposite the gypsum core, wherein gypsum of the gypsum core penetrates a remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat such that voids in substantially all of an interstitial volume of the first fiberglass mat that is not filled by the coating are substantially eliminated, wherein the gypsum core fills at least 95 percent of the interstitial volume, and wherein the gypsum panel passes a hydrostatic head test against water leakage, as measured by AATCC 127-2008. 2. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum core comprises a first gypsum layer that at least partially penetrates the remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat, the first gypsum layer having a slurry density of from about 88 pcf to about 98 pcf. 3. The gypsum panel of claim 2 , wherein the first gypsum layer is formed by a gypsum slurry that comprises a wetting agent in an amount effective to bring a slurry surface tension of the first gypsum layer to from about 30 dyne/cm to about 55 dyne/cm. 4. The gypsum panel of claim 2 , wherein the first gypsum layer is present in an amount from about 5 percent to about 20 percent, by weight, of the gypsum core. 5. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the continuous barrier coating comprises a polymer binder and at least one inorganic filler. 6. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum panel has a water vapor permeance of at least 10 inch-pound units, as measured by ASTM E96 wet cup method. 7. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum panel has a water vapor permeance of at least 30 inch-pound units, as measured by ASTM E96 wet cup method. 8. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum panel has a Type X designation, when measured according to ASTM E119. 9. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum panel has a level 0 flame spread index and smoke develop index, when measured according to ASTM E84. 10. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum core fills at least 98 percent of the interstitial volume. 11. The gypsum panel of claim 10 , wherein the gypsum core fills at least 99 percent of the interstitial volume. 12. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the continuous barrier coating comprises a plurality of pin holes that provide for water vapor transmission across the coating. 13. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the gypsum core comprises a second gypsum layer having a slurry density of from 76 pcf to 93 pcf. 14. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein the continuous barrier coating comprises a binder material. 15. The gypsum panel of claim 1 , wherein no surfactant is present in the continuous barrier coating.
