When
you mention building construction material one naturally thinks of gypsum
powder among many other things.
Gypsum
powder is heated to remove the water molecule and carbon dioxide.
It
becomes calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CaSO4.½ H2O) which is called plaster of
Paris.
This
calcium hemihydrate converts back to calcium sulphate dihydrate when you add
water to it.
Uses
of gypsum powder
Gypsum
powder is used for finishing the walls and concrete blocks. You could also use
it for ceilings and columns.
Most
of the builders get their gypsum for building work from the Gypsum Powder
suppliers in their locality.
Gypsum
is calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O).
The
method of preparation of the gypsum is by mining the mineral, heat dried and
then crushed to a fine powder.
This
powder finds diverse applicability such as for fertilizer, as blackboard chalk,
and for making plaster board.
When
used for building construction, the gypsum powder must adhere to specific
conditions.
It
must have a bulk density of 1020kg/m2 and a 25 kg bag must provide coverage of
21square feet when the thickness of the plaster is 13 mm.
The
setting time must be 25-30 minutes and it must have a compressive strength of
60-70 kg/cm2.
The
colour of the finished surface must remain super white. You can contact the
Gypsum Powder manufacturers and find out if their gypsum powder matches these
specifications.
Use
for plastering surfaces
Gypsum
is light and has high fire resistance and when used to finish the surface of
walls and other concrete surface provides a level and smooth surface.
You
can apply this directly and once finished it does not need any curing. It
provides an inert surface to paints and chemicals. It dries quickly and you can
paint it within 3 days of finishing application.
It
does not show tension or shrinkage cracks and is long lasting. Users will have
walls that are blemish-free even after 20 years.
It
shows remarkably low thermal conductivity so it can be used in the outer walls
to keep the heat out. This is the reason people are choosing gypsum over cement
plaster for their walls.
It
takes paint readily. Considering all the advantages of gypsum plaster, builders
use it for their constructions and reap the benefit.
