• Construction Gypsum-board, Plasterboard and Drywall Fire Retardant Additives

Boric Acid

• Boric Acid is a mineral acid that can be used as an effective fire retardant and can help to improve the fire resistance of the drywall panel or plasterboard. However, it is best known for its ability to help slow down the gypsum’s setting time and improve its workability and provide strength-enhancing properties to the plasterboard for durability.

  Boric Acid is an effective fire retardant and is commonly used in the manufacture of fire-resistant building materials. When added to drywall panels and gypsum plasterboard, it helps to reduce the spread of flames in the event of a fire.
