Gypsum based building materials
The main applications for gypsum based construction materials are plasters (hand or machine applied), trowelling compounds, joint fillers and adhesives.

Gypsum is a well-established construction material for interior applications. It offers good workability and its setting time can be adapted for every application as required. Gypsum building materials generate a comfortable living atmosphere due to good humidity balance. Additionally, gypsum shows excellent fire resistance. However, it is not water resistant, therefore only interior use is possible. Combinations of gypsum and hydrated lime are very common in plaster formulations.
