GYPROCK OPTIMISED CORE PLASTERBOARDS

OVERVIEW GYPROCK PLUS 10mm

The CSR Gyprock Red Book contains a wide range of fire
and/or acoustic rated wall systems.
This addendum provides updated acoustic performance
information for systems that feature Gyprock products
manufactured with Optimised Core technology Gyprock
Plus and Gyprock Supaceil 10mm plasterboards.
OPTIMISED CORE TECHNOLOGY
Gyprock Optimised Core plasterboards have an advanced
performance-to-weight ratio, meaning greater breaking
strength in a substantially lighter board that continues
to exceed the performance requirements of Australian
Standard AS2588.
The benefits of Optimised Core technology are stronger and
lighter boards with better breaking strength for improved
handling and installed performance, as well as crisper score
and snap.
AS2588 Performance Criteria
Sag (humidified deflection)
Bending strength
Edge hardness
Nail pull resistance
Bond strength in tension
Gyprock Plus 10mm is part of the range of Residential
Select premium quality plasterboards. Manufactured using
Optimised Core technology, this 10mm thick plasterboard
includes a stronger, thicker face paper which delivers
substantial performance benefits.
Gyprock Plus is primarily designed for internal wall linings,
predominantly in residential applications where no specific
fire, acoustic or moisture resistant requirements are specified.
Gyprock Plus with Optimised Core technology weighs
5.7kg/m2.
GYPROCK SUPACEIL
Gyprock Supaceil is specifically designed for use as
an internal ceiling lining, predominantly in residential
applications where no specific fire, acoustic or moisture
resistant requirements are specified. This plasterboard
is manufactured with Optimised Core technology and
contains fibreglass reinforcement for greater strength and
sag resistance for fixing at 600mm centres.
Gyprock Supaceil with Optimised Core technology weighs
6.1kg/m2 (6.5 kg/m2 in Western Australia).
Gyprock Plus and Supaceil are not suitable where it would be in
contact with water, or for environments with a constant relative
humidity above 90%.
