Handbook on Gypsum and Gypsum based Products
(Mining, Processing, Transportation, Handling & Storage, Gypsum Board,
Plaster of Paris with Machinery & Equipment Details)
Gypsum is chemically known as calcium sulfate dihydrate and it contains calcium and sulfur, which is bound to oxygen and water. Gypsum is an abundant mineral and takes various forms including alabaster, which is a material, used in decoration and construction. This is a non-toxic mineral and it can be helpful to humans, animals, plant life, and the environment. The majority of gypsum produced is used to manufacture gypsum board or building plasters and it is used in many other ways.
Gypsum products are used in dentistry, medicine, homes, and industry. In homes, gypsum plaster is used to make walls; in industry, it is used to make molds. Three types of gypsum products are plaster, stone, and high-strength or improved stone. The Gypsum and the Gypsum products are used for construction purposes. It is also used in industry for making pottery, moulds etc. It is used by orthopedics to make plaster casts and helps the dentist for the cast preparation, models and dies, impression material, investment material, mounting of Casts, as a mold material for processing of complete dentures etc.
The global gypsum board market size is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 11.9% in terms of revenue. Increasing utilization of gypsum boards in decorative and partitioning applications in residential constructions is anticipated to drive the market. The demand for gypsum boards is driven by the residential sector, where the product is widely used in multi-family constructions for room partitioning. Durability and lightweight coupled with easy handling of the product are some of the factors anticipated to propel the demand.
The major contents of the book are Mining, Processing, Transportation, Handling & Storage, Gypsum Board, Plaster of Paris for gypsum, Plant Layout, Process Flow Chart and Diagram, Plant & Machinery Suppliers and Photographs of Machineries.
This book is one-stop guide to one of the fastest growing sector of the Gypsum and Gypsum based Products, where opportunities abound for manufacturers, retailers, and entrepreneurs. This is the only complete handbook on gypsum and gypsum based Products. It serves up a feast of how-to information, from concept to purchasing equipment.
