A blade outer air seal has at least one internal surface and a layer atop the at least one internal surface. The layer has: a matrix comprising at least one of hafnium silicate (HfSiO.sub.4) and zirconium silicate (ZrSiO.sub.4), ytterbium disilicate (Yb.sub.2Si.sub.2O.sub.7); and barium magnesium alumino silicate (BMAS) or other alkaline earth aluminosilicate.

The present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing gypsum board as well as the resulting gypsum board. The method comprises providing a gypsum slurry with a shrinkage-reducing additive comprising a metal salt of an acid, a silica, or a mixture thereof. As a result, the gypsum board includes gypsum and a shrinkage-reducing additive comprising a metal salt of an acid, a silica, or a mixture thereof. The gypsum board exhibits an area shrinkage of less than 10%.

A coated article (20;60) includes a substrate (22) and a coating (24;62) on the substrate. The coating includes at least a first layer (30). The first layer has: a matrix (50); and a filler (52) at 2.0% to 40% by volume in the first layer. The first layer is selected from alkaline earth or transition metal (M) tungstates (MWO4); alkaline earth molybdates (MMoO.sub.4); rare earth (RE) phosphates (REPO.sub.4); and combinations thereof.
