Embodiments of the invention relate to concrete admixtures, provide a phosphonato block polymer, a preparation method and an application. The method includes: the phosphonato block polymer prepared by copolycondensating an ether-type segment A, a phosphonato segment B, and a third part of aldehyde C. The ether-type segment A is obtained by polycondensating a polyether monomer and a first part of aldehyde C. The phosphonato segment B is obtained by polycondensating a monomer b containing phosphonato, a monomer c, and a second part of aldehyde C in an aprotic weak polar solvent E. By preparing a block polymer using arylalkane as a main chain and using a phosphonic acid or phosphinic acid functional group as an adsorption group, the invention improves the resistance of the block polymer to sulfate and clay interference, and can achieve initial high dispersion of concrete with a low water-cement ratio and decreasing of the system viscosity.

In general, the present invention is directed to the use of particular phosphorus containing compounds for making a gypsum board. The phosphorus containing compound may be a phosphite or a phosphate having a certain formula. In this regard, the present invention is directed to a slurry for making a gypsum board wherein the slurry includes such phosphorus containing compound. The present invention is also directed to a method of making a gypsum board from the slurry as well as a resulting gypsum board.

A high temperature sag resistant lightweight wallboard. The addition of a small amount of urea (about 0.1%) significantly improves the high-temperature sag resistance on Type X gypsum wallboards. These gypsum wallboards may have a board weight of less than 2100 lbs/msf when cast to have an overall 5.8 inch thickness, and may include glass fibers and/or mineral wool. Also, methods of making the gypsum wallboard and a wall system for employing the gypsum wallboard.
