Gypsum plasterboards consist of a gypsum core encased in, and firmly bonded to, strong durable paper liners to form flat rectangular boards. The paper surfaces may vary according to the use of the particular type of board, and the core may contain additives to impart additional properties.

placoplâtre : Ce terme, au départ nom déposé d'une société française, est passé dans la langue technique courante et son usage est très fréquent dans les monographies et les lexiques. Le Grand Robert, d'ailleurs, ne le définit pas comme une marque commerciale (contrairement à LAROG (Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse) et à BABAT (Dictionnaire technique du bâtiment et des travaux publics)), mais comme un terme technique. 10, record 1, French, - plaque%20de%20pl%C3%A2tre

L'expression «panneau de gypse», en usage chez DOMTAR Inc., est, malgré son emploi très répandu au Québec, à éviter selon nous. Le gypse, en effet, se rapporte au minéral que l'on rencontre dans la nature, qui est communément appelé «pierre à plâtre», et qu'on utilise pour faire le plâtre, et non au plâtre coulé entre deux feuilles de carton que constitue le placoplâtre. 10, record 1, French, - plaque%20de%20pl%C3%A2tre

Le néologisme «gypsoplaqué» offre l'avantage de pouvoir engendrer des dérivés : gypsoplaquer (verbe); gypsoplacage (nom d'action), etc. 5, record 1, French, - plaque%20de%20pl%C3%A2tre
