Gypsum Board - Versatile Wall Finish, Ideal For Drywall And Plaster Applications, Lightweight And Durable

Gypsum is used in a wide variety of applications:-
>> Gypsum board[18] is primarily used as a finish for walls and ceilings, and is known in construction as drywall, wallboard, sheetrock or plasterboard.
>> Gypsum blocks are used like concrete blocks in building construction.
>> Plaster ingredients are used in surgical splints, casting moulds and modeling.
>> Fertilizer and soil conditioner: In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Nova Scotia gypsum, often referred to as plaster, was a highly sought fertilizer for wheat fields in the United States. It is also used in ameliorating high-sodium soils.[19]
>> A binder in fast-dry tennis court clay
>> As alabaster, a material for sculpture, it was used especially in the ancient world before steel was developed, when its relative softness made it much easier to carve.
>> A wood substitute in the ancient world: For example, when wood became scarce due to deforestation on Bronze Age Crete, gypsum was employed in building construction at locations where wood was previously used.[20]
>> A tofu (soy bean curd) coagulant, making it ultimately a major source of dietary calcium, especially in Asian cultures which traditionally use few dairy products
>> Adding hardness to water used for brewing
