The board is composed of a layer of gypsum rock sandwiched between two layers of special paper.

You must translate this is Finnish langvitsh:

Levyt valmistetaan joko luonnonkipsistä tai voimalaitoskaasujen puhdistuksessa syntyvästä kemiallisesti puhtaasta sivuainekipsistä. Pieneltä osin käytetään myös kierrätettyä kipsiä, lähinnä valmistusprosessin hukkaa.

Valmistus aloitetaan jauhamalla raaka-aine tasalaatuiseksi ja kuivaamalla se. Seuraavaksi kipsi kalsinoidaan, jolloin suurin osa kidevedestä poistuu, ja tulokseksi saadaan stukkokipsiä

. Stukkokipsijauhe puhdistetaan sähköisesti ja siihen lisätään lisäaineita ja vettä. Aikaan saatu massa pursotetaan kahden kartonkipaperin väliin ja puristetaan määräpaksuuteen. Kovettumisen jälkeen levyt katkotaan ja kuivataan. Lopuksi kuivatut levyt katkaistaan määrämittaisiksi

The translation is :-

The panels (drywall panels) are made either of natural gypsum or chemically pure gypsum, a sideproduct of (the) refining of powerplant gasses. A small amount of recycled gypsum is used, mostly excess (leftovers) from the manufacturing process.

Production is started by grinding the raw material till it's homogenous and then drying it. Next the gypsum is calcined, at which point most of the chrystallization water is removed. The result is stucco gypsum. Stucco gypsum powder is refined (cleaned?) electrically and additives and water are added. The resulting mass is extruded between two cardboard papers and pressed into intended thickness. After hardening the panels are cut up and dried. Lastly the dried panels are cut to final/intended size. (fixit895)

Drywall is one of the most commonly used building materials in the world. It's made up of gypsum, which is a combination of calcium sulfate, which ends up being crushed and pressed into sheets, and mineral talc or powdered ceramics. These are mixed together using hydraulic pressure and water.

If you get dry wall wet is it dry wall or wet wall?

The old labor intensive way of putting up walls had wet plaster attached to and around slats of wood (called lathing) where it dried into a wall. The current technology uses large panels made of dry plaster like material called Dry Wall attached to wall studs by nail, screw or glue. Another name for Dry Wall is SheetRock. It should be kept dry. Once it gets wet, it loses its integrity and it is no longer viable. It is no longer Dry Wall or Wet Wall but it is Garbage. Dry wall would technically be wet wall anyways considering how you need liquid to be able to make it. BTW, I am an 8th grader from 2017-2018 and will be in high school from2018-2019.
