Calcium Sulphate – High-Purity Gypsum Powder for Industrial, Construction, Food & Pharma Use

What is Calcium Sulphate?
Calcium Sulphate (CaSO₄), also known as Gypsum, is a white or off-white crystalline powder that exists in both anhydrous and hydrated (dihydrate) forms. It is widely used in construction, agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. Calcium Sulphate is known for its non-toxicity, thermal stability, and excellent binding and setting properties.

It is available in different grades such as technical grade, food grade, and pharmaceutical grade, each serving a specific purpose — from plaster of Paris to food additives and medicinal applications.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Is Calcium Sulphate the same as Plaster of Paris?
Yes. Plaster of Paris is the hemihydrate form of calcium sulphate, which sets when mixed with water.

Q2. Can this be used in food or pharma products?
Yes, but only food or pharma-grade calcium sulphate should be used for ingestion or medicinal purposes.

Q3. How is it used in agriculture?
It adds calcium and sulfur, improves soil structure, and helps reclaim sodic soils by removing excess sodium.

Q4. Is it harmful or toxic?
No. Calcium sulphate is non-toxic, GRAS approved, and widely used in consumable and non-consumable products.
