  2. Gypsum block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsum_block

    A gypsum block is made of gypsum plaster and water. The manufacturing process [1] is automated at production plants where raw gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) is ground and dried, then heated to remove three-quarters of the bound water and thus transformed into calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO 4 ·½H 2 O), also known as gypsum plaster, stucco, calcined gypsum or plaster of Paris.

    Lengths up to 16 feet (4.9 m) are common; the most common is 8 feet (2.4 m). Common thicknesses are 12 and 5 ⁄ 8 inch (13 and 16 mm); thicknesses of 1 ⁄ 4, 3 ⁄ 8, 3 ⁄ 4, and 1 inch (6, 10, 19, and 25 mm) are used in specific applications. In many parts of Canada, drywall is commonly referred to as Gyproc.

    It is used for castings as small as 30 g (1 oz) to as large as 7–10 kg (15–22 lb). Generally, the form takes less than a week to prepare. Production rates of 1–10 units/hr can be achieved with plaster molds. [1] [2] Parts that are typically made by plaster casting are lock components, gears, valves, fittings, tooling, and ornaments.
