Gyprock has expanded its EC08 plasterboard range.

The EC08 Partition, EC08 Fire and EC08 Impact will provide designers of green buildings the flexibility to specify different grade board for specific applications. This can reduce the cost of achieving Green Star points.

The range is produced with the highest level of recycled content found in the Gyprock range of fire grade and standard plasterboard. It can also be recycled - an important factor in the range gaining GECA certification.

Suited for areas where fire resistance and acoustic properties are not required, the EC08 Partition is a non-fire rated board for general building requirements.

The EC08 Fire has the equivalent fire and acoustic properties of 13 mm Fyrchek which can be used in wall and ceiling systems.

EC08 Impact is fire and acoustic rated with impact resistance for high traffic areas such as education and health facilities. Its level of recycled content is greater than 20 per cent, achieved by continued development of Gyprock's ReCore technology.

Light green in colour, the EC08 range is available in 13 mm thickness and in three dimensions: 1200 x 2700, 1200 x 3000 and 1200 x 3600 mm.
