The initial characterization results show a reduction in the mechanical strength of the specimens as the amount of white slag increases, but the material maintains flexural values over 260 N with a 60% substitution of gypsum by white slag when a plasticizer additive is incorporated. The flexural values reach a level well above the 100 N needed per international standards. The thermal behavior at different doses of white slag is also studied with plasterboard specimens with dimensions of (300 × 400 × 15) mm. The heat transference coefficient by wall-air convection has values from 2.76 W/m2°C to 12.01 W/m2°C, which allows assessment of the thermal conductivity of these materials as a function of the amount of slag present in the mixtures. Non combustibility is discussed on the basis of experimental data obtained from two standard test methods: EN ISO 1716 with an oxygen bomb calorimeter and EN ISO 1182 with a cylindrical furnace. The fire response improves substantially as the slag byproduct from the steelmaking industry is incorporated compared to that of the behavior of the reference plaster, although there is a reduction in mass loss of up to 50%. This result could indicate an important advantage for these products for partitions or protection in areas with aggressive thermal requirements.
