Prospects of use of gypsum

In spite of the fact that gypsum is known as a building and finishing material already some thousand years, its use just now leaves on a corresponding level. Long years gypsum was replaced with cement only because products from gypsum were afraid of a moisture. Now water-resistant gypsum is invented, products from it are more true: panels of wall, panels for a ceiling, air pipes, various parting walls.
The market of building and finishing materials constantly replenishes with novelties, among them there are products from gypsum. So, for example, all several years ago gypsum cardboard everywhere was applied. But with the invention of fiber glass, there were reinforced panels of wall from gypsum. It gives to them additional durability and rigidness. Besides gypsum is a part some so-called cements, i.e. the cements used for preservation of gas driven wells. Undoubtedly, use of gypsum in medicine will be continued: plaster bandages quickly and reliably fix a place of crisis.
That at gypsum the big future speaks that fact that stocks of this natural mineral are huge. Even if to increase its extraction modern deposits will suffice on hundreds years. Besides manufacture of gypsum is much more low-cost from the economic point of view. The successor of gypsum - cement during the manufacture very strongly pollutes ecology. For a stoving of a cement clinker the huge quantity of energy is required.
Products from gypsum are more durable, than plastic, vinylic and even metal. Modern facing plaster with use of gypsum practically to impact of atmospheric precipitation.
The building and construction industry masters manufacture of new sorts of finishing and building materials, for example, plaster blocks which in due course will come on replacement to traditional blocks.
Owing to such properties as the high environmental acceptance, ease, the low cost price, simplicity of installation and processing, gypsum wins all the new markets and ranges of application. Reliability and working life of this material is proved by time: the only thing the miracle which has kept up to our times of light - the Egyptian pyramids, from within are plastered by gypsum. On plaster facing plaster ancient hieroglyphs and letters were perfectly kept.
