Abstract
A process for continuously manufacturing gypsum board having a gypsum core and at least one fibrous cover sheet comprising: (A) applying a defoaming agent to the top surface of the fibrous sheet as it advances along a production line; (B) depositing a foamed gypsum slurry onto the treated surface of the sheet; and (C) forming the composite of the foamed gypsum slurry and fibrous sheet into a gypsum board having a strong bond between the gypsum core and the fibrous cover sheet. The gypsum core-to-fibrous facer bond is highly resistant to failure upon humidification.
