It can be mixed with expanded perlite and vermiculite and made into wall plaster and castings. There are three qualities of Plaster of Paris used for making various items & for decorating purposes especially in construction industry are given as under;

Applications

Common uses for plaster of Paris include making castings for other artistic mediums, creating sculptures and making home décor objects. One common use for plaster of Paris is to make decorative castings to be used as embellishments, jewellery charms and pendants. Plaster of Paris was use as fireproofing agent for protections from early decades. Plaster produces water vapour when it is exposed to fire thus slow down the spreading of fire. It also acts as an insulator material to heat. Plasters have been in use in passive fire protection, as fireproofing products, for many decades. The finished plaster releases water vapour when exposed to flame, acting to slow the spread of the fire, for as much as an hour or two depending on thickness.
