Procedure

Gypsum building panels offer a high performance product for a reasonable price for finishing of building spaces. Gypsum, also known as calcium sulfate dihydrate, is heated to drive off crystalline water to produce calcium sulfate anhydrite and/or calcium sulfate hemihydrate, also known as stucco, calcined gypsum or Plaster of Paris. The building panels are made by combining stucco with water. Calcined gypsum and water are combined and an interlocking matrix of gypsum crystals is formed. After the hydration of the calcined gypsum, excess water is driven off by heating, the resulting product is a relatively strong panel, having a good surface for receiving decorative finishes such as paint or wallpaper.
