Gypsum plaster

What is gypsum plaster?

Hs code: 25202000:

Gypsum plaster is a white cementing substance that is created by partially or completely drying the mineral gypsum, frequently with the addition of specialized retarders or hardeners. When gypsum and water are combined chemically after being applied in a flexible condition, the gypsum settles and contracts.  The Gypsum plaster is used for false ceiling projects, fall walls, etc.

Application of plaster

• Apply the plaster to the surface after it has been prepared, applying it firmly.
• Gypsum plaster stiffens easily, so keep flattening.
• Painting is prohibited until the plaster has dried fully, and the surface after plastering should not be exposed to moisture.
• Additionally, plaster can be placed in several coats. This plaster’s overall thickness should range from 6 to 20 millimeters.
