VESICLE DEDUSTING AGENTS FOR JOINT COMPOUNDS

A drying-type joint compound can comprise: (a) a primary filler at about 50 weight percent (wt %) to about 98 wt % on a dry basis, wherein the primary filler includes one member selected from the group of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate dihydrate, and talc, and a mixture thereof; (b) a secondary filler at up to about 25 wt % on a dry basis; (c) a binder at about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % on a dry basis; (d) a polymer thickener at about 0.05 wt % to about 3 wt % on a dry basis; (e) a vesicle dedusting agent at about 0.01 wt % to about 10 wt % on a dry basis, wherein the vesicle dedusting agent comprises vesicles; and (f) an additive up to about 10 wt % o on a dry basis; and (g) water at a ratio of water to dry components of about 1:6 to about 3:1.
