Gypsum Powder is a finely ground, naturally occurring mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Renowned for its versatility, it is widely used in the construction, agriculture, and industrial sectors. In building and construction, gypsum serves as a key ingredient in plaster, drywall, and cement, offering excellent fire resistance, sound insulation, and surface finish quality.

Primary Use Cases:
1. Wall Plastering:
Used to prepare smooth, level wall and ceiling surfaces before painting. Gypsum plaster sets quickly, eliminates shrinkage cracks, and provides a superior finish compared to traditional sand-cement plaster.
2. Cement Additive:
Acts as a setting time regulator in Portland cement. It prevents flash setting and improves workability and strength in concrete applications.
3. Ceiling Tiles & Molds:
Ideal for making decorative false ceilings, cornices, and architectural molds. Gypsum powder is lightweight, easy to cast, and provides crisp, clean detailing.
4. Drywall Production:
A primary component in the core of gypsum boards, providing natural fire resistance and acoustic insulation in modern construction.
5. Agriculture Use:
Improves soil structure, adds essential calcium and sulfur, and reduces soil compaction. Gypsum is commonly used to reclaim saline and sodic soils.
