Construction and Building Materials: Gypsum is a key ingredient in the production of plasterboard (drywall) used for interior walls and ceilings in construction. It is mixed with water to form a paste that hardens into a solid, creating a smooth and fire-resistant surface. It is used in the creation of plaster molds for casting various materials, including ceramics and metal parts.
Dental Products: In dentistry, calcium sulfate dihydrate is used to make dental impressions for crowns, bridges, and other dental prosthetics.
Food and Beverages: Food-grade gypsum (calcium sulfate) is used as a coagulant in the production of tofu and other soy-based products, as well as in brewing beer to control the mineral content.
Pharmaceuticals: Calcium sulfate dihydrate can be used as an excipient or filler in the pharmaceutical industry for tablet and capsule formulations.
Art and Crafts: Gypsum is utilized in art and craft projects, particularly in the creation of sculptures and molds.
Medical Applications: In medicine, calcium sulfate dihydrate is used as a bone graft substitute for repairing bone defects and promoting bone healing.
