This sound-insulating plasterboard features tapered, cardboard-laminated longitudinal edges and square transverse edges. The gypsum core of the plasterboard features an increased density, a glass fibre reinforcement and a hydrophobic agent additive (paraffin or silicone).
Colour - blue-coloured cardboard with designations in blue.
The plasterboard is designated for use in rooms in which the relative humidity may exceed 70%, but not for longer than 10 hours a day and it must not exceed 85%. The maximum application temperature is 50°C.
Intended for sheathing of partition or curtain walls, wall linings, panelling of suspended ceilings and lining of attics, with the objective to ensure improved sound insulation properties and to obtain fire-rated partitions (max. up to EI 180).
Sound insulation. Due to its high weight and special additives, the product features better parameters improving the sound insulation properties of the partition wall.
Fire-resistant. The glass fibre contained in its core increases the cohesiveness of the gypsum core when exposed to high temperatures.
Impregnated. Due to waterproofing, the plasterboard features reduced water absorption properties.
Increased strength. The plasterboard is designated for special applications where greater strength and increased surface hardness are required.
Edge S. Tapered longitudinal edges make finishing of the panel joints easier. Due to an appropriate moulding and the use of joint compounds belonging to the Norgips system as well as joint tapes for joint finishing, a joint with a maximum strength can be obtained.
