Product Details

Plaster of Paris (Calcined Gypsum) from Pakistan

Plaster of Paris is produced by partially dehydrating pure gypsum rock in rotary kilns at controlled temperatures around 150 °C. This converts the gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate, CaSO₄·2H₂O) into calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO₄·0.5H₂O), which readily rehydrates and sets when mixed with water. Pakistan’s gypsum calcining industry produces high-quality Plaster of Paris for domestic and export markets.


Available Grades and Mesh Sizes

  • Regular Grade: 100, 150, 200 mesh (95-98% purity)

  • Dental Grade: 200, 325 mesh (98%+ purity)

  • Custom grinds and formulations on request

Applications

  • Pottery and ceramic molds

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Dental grade is made from the highest purity gypsum and milled to a finer particle size (typically 98%+ purity at 200-325 mesh). It is formulated to set harder with minimal expansion for dental impressions and casts. Regular grade is suited for general molding, casting and industrial plaster applications.

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture, ideally below 30°C and 50% relative humidity. Once opened, reseal packaging tightly. When stored properly in original packaging, the shelf life is typically 6-12 months. Avoid storing in damp conditions or near heat sources, as this can cause lumping and reduce setting performance.

A: Our regular grade Plaster of Paris has an initial setting time of 8-15 minutes and a final setting time of 20-45 minutes at a standard consistency of 60-70 parts water to 100 parts plaster by weight. Setting time can be adjusted by varying the water ratio or adding small amounts of retarders like borax or accelerators like potassium sulfate. Exact ratios depend on the grade and application.
