    摘要: The present disclosure relates generally to a method of producing a fire-resistant gypsum board comprising a gypsum core, the method comprising providing a calcium sulfate slurry comprising a silicone oil having a hydride content of no more than 0.01 equivalents of Si—H per equivalent of silicon in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 wt % of the mass of the gypsum core; allowing the calcium sulfate slurry to set; and drying the set gypsum material to provide the gypsum core. The disclosure also relates to a fire-resistant gypsum board comprising a gypsum core that shrinks by less than 6% by volume when heated to 850° C., wherein the gypsum core comprises a silicone oil having a hydride content of no more than 0.01 equivalents of Si—H per equivalent of silicon, present in an amount in the range of 0.05 to 1.5 wt % based on the mass of the gypsum core.
