Abstract
Abstract A novel process for producing a non-combustible gypsum board and a non-combustible laminated gypsum board having superior practical physical properties, smoothly and efficiently is provided, which process is characterized by preparing a mixture consisting of a powdery gypsum consisting of 50 to 95 parts by weight of a hydrating gypsum and 5 to 50 parts by weight of gypsum dihydrate, a definite amount of fibers and a definite amount of a caking retarder and a necessary amount of water; molding the mixture before the hydrating gypsum is hydrated; and setting and drying the resulting molded material.
