NO, sheetrock is the same thing as drywall, wallboard, plasterboard, Glasrock or gypsum. It is a soft white or pink rock found in shallow seams almost all over the world and known technically as Calcium sulphate dihydrate. When it is crushed, heated and remixed it is essentially Plaster of Paris. To make board, it is then re-hydrated and fed in between two sheets of paper , heated and cut to size. New, lightweight drywall is now available. This is made with the addition of cleaned 'flue ash', a similar but much lighter product.
