Gypsum Wall Board

Superior board strength and paper adhesion

As global urbanization and population growth soar, the demand for gypsum wallboard in construction continues to rise. From interior ceilings to sound and thermal insulation, gypsum wallboard is essential in modern building projects. The latest trend is the development of lightweight gypsum wallboard, designed to be 30% lighter while retaining its strength and durability. These lighter boards reduce material costs, are easier to handle and install, and cut transportation expenses, all while maintaining properties like moisture and impact resistance.

At SMS, we specialize in providing innovative tapioca-based starch solutions for both lightweight gypsum wallboards and high-quality gypsum boards. Whether you're working on interior walls, ceilings, or specialized applications, our starch formulations ensure superior performance and strength. Our team works closely with you to tailor solutions that meet the specific requirements of your production process, delivering cost-effective and sustainable starch solutions for the gypsum industry.

Paper Adhesive

Our innovative starches, including SMS® GSA, SMS PB8, and SMS PB11, offer a range of viscosity options tailored to match gypsum board operation temperatures. Our starches ensure good migration of starch molecules, facilitating excellent adhesion between the gypsum core and paper liner.
