Definitions

  • Set gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) is a well-known material that is included commonly in many types of products, such as gypsum board employed in typical drywall construction of interior walls and ceilings of buildings.
  • gypsum-containing board is prepared by forming a mixture of calcined gypsum, that is, calcium sulfate hemihydrate and/or calcium sulfate anhydrite, and water, as well as other components, as desired.
  • the mixture typically is cast into a pre-determined shape on the surface of a conveyor or in a tray.
  • the calcined gypsum reacts with water to form a matrix of crystalline hydrated gypsum or calcium sulfate dihydrate.
  • the desired hydration of the calcined gypsum is what enables the formation of an interlocking matrix of set gypsum crystals, thereby imparting strength to the gypsum structure in the gypsum-containing product. Mild heating can be used to drive off unreacted water to yield a dry product.
  • Gypsum mixers and methods of producing gypsum products are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos: 1 ,767,791 ; 2,253,059; 2,346,999; 4,183,908; 5,683,635; 5,714,032; and 6,494,609.
  • Accelerator materials are commonly used in the production of gypsum products to enhance the efficiency of hydration and to control set time. Accelerators are described, for example in U.S. Patent Nos: 3,573,947; 3,947,285; 4,054,461 ; and 6,409,825.
  • Some accelerators include finely ground dry calcium sulfate dihydrate, known as "gypsum seeds.” The gypsum seeds enhance nucleation of the set gypsum crystals, thereby increasing the crystallization rate thereof.
  • accelerators have been added to the same mixer chamber as that used to combine water with calcined gypsum.
  • accelerator While addition of accelerator to the mixer has the advantage of mixing the accelerator well and evenly throughout the water and calcined gypsum mixture, the accelerator can also cause the gypsum to begin setting prematurely. Premature setting can cause the mixer to clog, can cause damage to the mixer, limits efficiency, and necessitates more frequent mixer cleaning. Mixer cleaning requires shutting down a board line with a serious detriment to productivity. Although additives including retarders have been used in the mixer to combat premature setting, such additives contribute additional costs and considerations.
