Sheetrock® Dust Control Joint Compound features

As a specialized type of drywall compound, dust control joint compound is designed to offer many of the same benefits as traditional compounds, including good adhesion, easy spreadability, and smooth finish. In addition, dust control joint compound typically has a number of other features that make it well-suited for use in construction and renovation projects, including: 

• Low dust generation: The most important feature of dust control joint compound is its ability to reduce the amount of dust that is generated during the mixing and application process. This is typically achieved through the use of special binders and other additives that help to prevent the compound from breaking down and becoming dusty when it is mixed and applied. 
• Easy sanding: Another key feature of dust control joint compound is that it is typically easy to sand, which is important for achieving a smooth and even finish on drywall surfaces. This is particularly beneficial when working on large projects, where a smooth and even finish is essential for achieving a professional-looking result. 
• Good coverage: Dust control joint compound is also known for its good coverage, which means that it can be spread easily and evenly over large surfaces without leaving any gaps or voids.  
• Long and comfort working time: Dust control joint compound is typically designed to have a longer working time than traditional drywall compounds, which means that it can be mixed and applied for a longer period of time before it begins to set and harden. This is especially beneficial for large projects, where a longer working time can help to ensure that the compound is applied evenly and consistently over the entire surface.
