SHEETROCK Brand Durabond Joint Compound

For one-day drywall finishing

SHEETROCK® Brand DURABOND® Setting-Type Joint Compounds are chemically-setting powder compounds for drywall interiors and exteriors that permit same-day joint finishing and, usually, next-day decoration. They provide a hard, plaster-like surface when dry and are virtually unaffected by humidity. (They are difficult to sand after drying; must be smoothed before complete setting.) Also ideal for heavy fills. They provide low shrinkage and superior bond, which make them excellent for laminating gypsum panels to gypsum panels, to sound-deadening boards, and to above-grade concrete surfaces. In addition, SHEETROCK Brand DURABOND Setting-Type Joint Compounds can be used for filling, smoothing, and finishing interior concrete ceilings and above-grade concrete; for taping and finishing SHEETROCK Brand HUMITEK™ Gypsum Panels; and for taping and finishing SHEETROCK® Brand Water-Resistant Gypsum Panels under tile in bathroom wall areas. Other uses include finishing joints in exterior gypsum ceiling boards and presetting joints of veneer plaster finish systems.

To meet varying job requirements, a full line of SHEETROCK Brand DURABOND Setting-Type Joint Compounds has been developed to provide a choice in setting times. The suffix number identifying each SHEETROCK Brand Joint Compound indicates an approximate setting time. DURABOND 20 sets in about 20-30 minutes; DURABOND 45 in 30-80 minutes; DURABOND 90 in 85-130 minutes; DURABOND 210 in 180-240 minutes; and Durabond 300 in 240-360 minutes. Meets ASTM C475.
