Book excerpt: Gypsum is chemically known as calcium sulfate dihydrate and it contains calcium and sulfur, which is bound to oxygen and water. Gypsum is an abundant mineral and takes various forms including alabaster, which is a material, used in decoration and construction. This is a non-toxic mineral and it can be helpful to humans, animals, plant life, and the environment. The majority of gypsum produced is used to manufacture gypsum board or building plasters and it is used in many other ways. Gypsum products are used in dentistry, medicine, homes, and industry. In homes, gypsum plaster is used to make walls; in industry, it is used to make molds. Three types of gypsum products are plaster, stone, and high-strength or improved stone. The Gypsum and the Gypsum products are used for construction purposes. It is also used in industry for making pottery, moulds etc. It is used by orthopedics to make plaster casts and helps the dentist for the cast preparation, models and dies, impression material, investment material, mounting of Casts, as a mold material for processing of complete dentures etc. The global gypsum board market size is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 11.9% in terms of revenue. Increasing utilization of gypsum boards in decorative and partitioning applications in residential constructions is anticipated to drive the market. The demand for gypsum boards is driven by the residential sector, where the product is widely used in multi-family constructions for room partitioning.

Download or read book Handbook of Thermal Analysis of Construction Materials written by V.S. Ramachandran and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2002-10-28 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book containing essential information on the applicability of thermal analysis techniques to evaluate inorganic and organic materials in construction technology should serve as a useful reference for the scientist, engineer, construction technologist, architect, manufacturer, and user of construction materials, standard-writing bodies, and analytical chemists. The material scientists at the National Research Council of Canada have established one of the best thermal analysis laboratories in the world. Various types of thermal analysis techniques have been applied successfully to the investigation of inorganic and organic construction materials. These studies have provided important information on the characterization of raw as well as finished materials, quality control, quantitative estimation, interrelationships between physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics. Information on the application of thermal analysis to construction materials is dispersed in literature and hence the IRC scientists embarked on producing a handbook, the first of its kind, incorporating the latest knowledge available in this field of activity. Almost all important construction materials have been included.
