Cellulose Ethers for Gypsum Mortars

Cellulose Ethers for Gypsum Mortars

Gypsum plays a very important role in the construction materials industry.

Compared to cement, gypsum has unique characteristics:

1. lts curing is fast and the curing time can be adjusted;

2. It expands a little after hydration and has no hollowing and cracking of cementitious materials;

3. A large number of porous structures are formed in the material after solidification, which have the effect of breathing， sound-absorbing and sound insulation. This can adjust the humidity of living and working places,create a comfortable climate, so gypsum play an increasingly important role in interior decoration;

4. Natural gypsum is rich in China, its energy consumption per unit is 78% lower than cement. Gypsum can be recycled;

5. Desulfurization in power plants produces a large amount of gypsum, which also provides a rich source of gypsum.

It is the superior properties that gypsum have become more and more widely used.
