Sturdy Gypsum Composite Decorative Surface and Method for Making Sturdy Gypsum Composite Decorative Surface

A composite material comprising:

• a. a reinforced core panel comprising:
• i. a honeycomb sandwich panel comprising a top sandwich layer, a bottom sandwich layer, and a honeycomb layer, said honeycomb layer comprised of a multiplicity of cells, wherein said cells are traverse to said top sandwich layer and bottom sandwich layer;
• ii. a rigid top reinforcement layer atop said top sandwich layer iii. a rigid bottom reinforcement layer below said bottom sandwich layer, wherein said rigid top reinforcement layer and bottom reinforcement layer define reinforced core panel edges;
• b. a top gypsum layer on top of said rigid top reinforcement layer, said gypsum layer comprised of a mixture comprising alpha hemihydrate gypsum and polymer modifier,
• c. a bottom gypsum layer below said rigid bottom reinforcement layer, said bottom gypsum layer comprised of a mixture comprising alpha hemihydrate gypsum and polymer modifier;
• d. a perimeter gypsum layer around said core panel edges and extending from the edge of the top reinforcement layer to the bottom reinforcement layer throughout the entire perimeter of each said reinforcement layer, said perimeter gypsum layer comprised of a mixture comprising alpha hemihydrate gypsum and polymer modifier
• e. a core primer layer adjacent and along the entire surface of said top gypsum layer
• f. a printed decorative layer adjacent and along the entire surface of said core primer layer,
• g. at least one sealant layer adjacent and along the entire surface of said printed decorative layer, wherein said sealant layer is transparent or translucent.
