Description
- This application is a divisional of application Ser.

- The present invention provides a jointing compound for construction elements, particularly gypsum boards with paper facings, as well as a building process of a structure such as a partition wall, a wall lining or a ceiling. The invention relates to a drying compound called “ready-mix”. The compound according to the invention is preferably a “2-in-1” compound, that is a compound that fulfills both the filling and the finishing functions.
- The use of gypsum boards is well known to make partition walls, to line vertical or inclined elements or to put up ceilings, suspended or not.
- These boards generally comprise a core mostly made of gypsum, covered on each of its sides by a sheet serving both as reinforcement and as facing and that can comprise cardboard or mineral fibers.
- Generally, the gypsum boards are assembled with a first compound and the joints are finished between the boards with a complementary compound. A filling compound (or also called a patching compound)is used as a complement to the tape, and generally presents a relatively low shrinkage, good embedding and good adherence to the joint tape. A finishing compound is used for the last pass to finish the structure so that it presents a monolithic surface.
- More and more often drying compounds are used that fulfill the various functions at the same time. These compounds are called “2-in-1”, that is a compound that fulfils both the filling and the finishing functions. Moreover, drying compounds supplied in cans with. water that is later eliminated are also used; such compounds are qualified as “ready-mix”.
- There always exists a need for a compound presenting good application qualities on the support and workability.
- The invention therefore provides a drying compound comprising from 50 to 85% of FGD gypsum.
- The invention therefore also provides a drying compound comprising from 50 to 85% of natural gypsum or processed gypsum, in mass percentages relative to the total mass of the compound, presenting the following particle size characteristics: (i) a d50 from 35 to 70 μm (preferably from 36 to 70 μm, more preferably from 37 to 70 μm) and (ii) a span (d90-d10/d50) lower than 2.
- The invention also provides a preparation process for the compound according to the invention wherein the components of the compound are mixed in any order.
- Finally, the invention provides a building process of a structure, including the juxtaposition of gypsum boards presenting a facer, preferably paper, possibly applying tape, and covering the joint between the boards using a compound according to the invention.
- The invention provides a compound that presents good workability. The workability can be divided in two parts, the first part being related to the flowing threshold of the compound, that is, the energy necessary to apply the compound, and the second being the spread after the flowing threshold. Good spreads are particularly sought after.

Alternatively, the filling of the space between the boards using a filling compound and tape application steps can be replaced by applying self-adhesive glass mesh tape (without the prior application of the filling compound).
- The compound according to the invention can be the filling compound and/or the finishing compound. Preferably the compound according to the invention is both the filling compound and the finishing compound (it works then as a 2-in-1 compound).
- For the joints of the rebessed edges, paper tape or another usually-used means can generally be used, with a prior layer of the filling compound. For the joints on rounded edges, hence without tape, the compound is used in the same way.
- The following examples are only given as an illustration and are not at all restrictive.
- The particle size data are given in volume (this is equivalent to data in mass), and were measured with a Malvern® mastersizer S apparatus, optic 300RF and device MS17, length of ray 2.4 mm. The particle size measurement was carried out by the humid method and ultrasounds. This method consisted of diluting the filler in a solvent (95% ethanol) and applying ultrasounds (a few minutes until the sample was acceptable, value “/div” lower than 20, preferably lower than 10). The sample was introduced up to an “obscuration” value of approximately 15%.
- The viscosity was measured by a Brookfield viscometer (RVDVII+Pro) with a Helipath device (conditioned laboratory:
- speed conditions No. 2, T pin No. D, measurements after 30 sec).
- In this example the characteristics of several gypsums with FGD origins were determined. The values were the following:
-
Gypsum (origin) d50 Span US 45.6 1.19 Germany 65.9 1.48 China (1) 39.9 1.87 China (2) 44.8 1.75 - In this example the composition was determined for the characteristics given in the chart below (the FGD gypsum was the gypsum from Germany):
-
Components Quantity Gypsum FGD 505 Water 200 Microbiocide 0.48 Nonionic surfactant 0.85 Mica 8 Clay 10 Cellulose Ether 3.2 Starch 3 Talc 16.76 EVA 20 - The compound was made by mixing its components. The viscosity after one day was 410 000-430 000 cps, while the viscosity after 7 days was 470 000-480 000 cps. Density was from 1.23 to 1.25, and the pH was from 8.8 to 8.73.
- In this example, the behavior of two compounds made using FGDs with Chinese origins 1 and 2 was studied, the composition being the same as in example 2.
-
FGD China 2 FGD China 1 * Aspect Pleasant shiny paste Pleasant shiny paste, slight foam Odor None None Color Light brown Brown Consistency Very good, relatively Slightly thicker than fluid the other compound Application Excellent Excellent Water retention Excellent Excellent Paper tape Very easy Very easy (Fiber) glass Excellent Excellent mesh tape Filling Excellent Excellent Shrinkage Low Low Finish Perfect Perfect Dried aspect The compound behaves The compound behaves like a self-leveling like a self-leveling one and its aspect is one and its aspect is excellent excellent Sanding Easy, rapid and good Easy, rapid and good P 80 +P 150 result result Adhesion to the Delamination Delamination paper tape * The compound contained 10 g of additional water. - In this example the behavior of the compounds made using FGD from the same German origin was studied, with different sampling dates. The compositions were identical to the one in example 2, only the date of the sample of FGD gypsum changed.
-
Composition A Composition B Aspect Pleasant shiny paste Pleasant shiny paste, slight foam Odor None None Color Light brown Light brown Consistency Very good Slightly thicker than the other compound Application Excellent Excellent, with slightly more energy for the application Water retention Excellent Excellent Paper tape Very easy Very easy (Fiber) glass Excellent Excellent mesh tape Filling Excellent Excellent Shrinkage Low Low Finish Perfect Perfect Dried aspect The compound behaves The compound behaves like a self-leveling like a self-leveling one and its aspect is one and its aspect is excellent excellent Sanding Easy, rapid and good Easy, rapid and good P 80 + P 150 result result Adhesion to the Delamination Delamination paper tape
