  • Publication number: 20240066754
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing a cementitious board includes a conveying device for conveying a first liner with first overlap sections-in a transport direction, at least one slurry feeder device for applying at least one layer of at least one slurry comprising a cementitious material onto the first liner, a liner feeding device for providing and arranging a second liner with second overlap sections such that it contacts the first overlap sections of the first liner wherein the at least one layer of the at least one slurry is arranged between the first liner and the second liner, an adhesive foam feeder for providing an adhesive foam on at least one of the first or the second overlap sections, and a means for bonding the first liner and the second liner.

  • Publication number: 20240034692
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with plasterboards including at least two layers A and B of different composition, wherein layer A includes a calcium sulfate binder and a synthetic polymer foam and the layer B includes a calcium sulfate binder and a surfactant foam and wherein the at least one layer A is a surface layer. Improved nail pull resistance can be achieved in lightweight plasterboards, if foamed synthetic polymer is present in a surface layer. The present invention further concerns a method for the production of corresponding products, an apparatus for the production of such products as well as the use of synthetic polymer foam in a surface layer to produce plasterboards with high nail pull resistance at a minimal amount of synthetic polymer.
