Calcium Sulphate Anhydrous, Form : Powder

Calcium sulfate anhydrous (CaSO4) is a white, crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water. It is produced by heating calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) to remove water molecules, resulting in a dehydrated form of calcium sulfate. Anhydrous calcium sulfate has several industrial and commercial applications. In construction, it is used as a binder in the production of plaster and drywall. In agriculture, it serves as a soil conditioner to improve drainage and fertility. Additionally, calcium sulfate anhydrous is utilized in the food industry as a firming agent, coagulant, and additive in various processed foods. It also finds applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Despite its generally low solubility, proper handling is necessary to avoid excessive dust inhalation and skin irritation. Regulatory guidelines ensure safe production, handling, and disposal to minimize environmental impact and ensure worker safety.
