What is Gypsum Plastering ?
Gypsum Plaster is made from gypsum, a naturally occurring mineral composed of Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate. It is popularly known for its excellent fire resistance, quick setting, lightweight and sound insulation properties. Gypsum plaster gives a smooth and consistent finish, suitable for walls and ceilings. It can be directly applied to brick or concrete surfaces without requiring an additional bonding agent. The plaster is produced by heating the gypsum rock to remove chemically combined water, creating a dry powder that is mixed with water to form a paste for application.
