Calcined Gypsum & Gypsum Powder (Mesh 100 & 200) \u2013 Industrial & Market Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to Calcined Gypsum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Calcined gypsum<\/strong>, also known as gypsum powder or plaster of Paris<\/strong>, is produced by heating natural gypsum stone (CaSO\u2084\u00b72H\u2082O) at controlled temperatures to partially remove chemically bound water. This process converts raw gypsum into calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO\u2084\u00b7\u00bdH\u2082O)<\/strong>, a highly reactive and versatile construction and industrial material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calcined gypsum in Mesh 100 and Mesh 200<\/strong> is widely used due to its fine particle size, controlled setting behavior, and excellent workability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Production Process of Gypsum Powder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Selection of high-purity raw gypsum stone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Crushing and pre-sizing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Calcination at controlled temperature (\u2248120\u2013180\u00b0C)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Grinding and classification to Mesh 100 or Mesh 200<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Quality control and packaging<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Proper temperature control during calcination is critical, as it directly affects setting time, strength, and consistency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n
