  • Gypsum-based building products and method for the manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 9617184
    Abstract: A building product comprises calcium sulphate dihydrate particles bound by an organic binder. The calcium sulphate dihydrate particles each have a longest dimension and a lateral dimension, wherein the lateral dimension corresponds to the maximum breadth of the particle about the axis defined by the longest dimension. The calcium sulphate dihydrate particles have a low aspect ratio such that for at least 75% of the calcium sulphate dihydrate particles, the value of the lateral dimension is at least 20% of the value of the longest dimension.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2017
    Assignee: Saint-Gobain Placo SAS
    Inventors: Elodie Taboulot, Clement Houga
