  • the invention also relates to gypsum compositions comprising an alkyl hydrogenpolysiloxane and a depolymerized carboxymethyl cellulose.
  • gypsum Certain properties of gypsum make it very popular for use in making industrial and building products. It is an abundant and inexpensive raw material which, through a process of dehydration and rehydration, can be cast, molded, extruded or otherwise formed into useful products. It is also non-combustible and relatively dimensionally stable.
  • gypsum wallboards also known as plasterboards, which consist of a rehydrated gypsum core sandwiched between multi-ply paper cover sheets, that are commonly used for interior wall and ceiling applications.
  • gypsum products such as wallboards, gypsum tiles, gypsum blocks, gypsum bricks, and the like, are largely hydrophilic and easily absorb water which causes problems of degradation in their thermal insulation and heat retaining properties, generation of cracks, changes in size, etc..
  • Many attempts have been made in the past to reduce the water absorption (waterproofing) of gypsum products by hydrophobization of the gypsum raw materials. These attempts include the addition to the gypsum compositions used for the preparation of gypsum products of water-repellent compounds such as metallic soaps, asphalts, waxes, resins and polysiloxanes, in particular alkyl hydrogenpolysiloxanes.

  • the addition of a specific depolymerized carboxymethyl cellulose markedly improves the performances of the alkyl hydrogenpolysiloxanes and provides to obtain waterproofing results superior to those obtained with other polysaccharides, thus allowing a further optimization of the production costs.
  • the depolymerised carboxymethyl cellulose of the invention is easily soluble in water and it can be provided in the form of pourable concentrated aqueous solutions, allowing faster and easier preparation of gypsum compositions compared to the prior art polysaccharides.
