Product Description
1. Definition
Calcium sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CaSO4. It exists in different forms, including anhydrous calcium sulfate and hydrates. Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) and plaster of Paris (CaSO4·0.5H2O) are two common hydrate forms. These compounds are white solids, odorless, and have low solubility in water. Their stable chemical properties make them useful in various industries.
2. Production Methods
- Natural Extraction: Mined from natural deposits of gypsum or anhydrite, which are abundant in many regions.
- Chemical Reaction: Produced by reacting calcium - containing compounds, like calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). For example, CaCO3 + H2SO4 = CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O. It can also be a by - product in phosphate fertilizer manufacturing and flue gas desulfurization processes.
3. Storage
- Environmental Conditions: Store in a dry, cool place, as exposure to excessive moisture can change its hydrate form.
- Container Requirements: Use tightly - sealed containers to prevent contamination from other chemicals and ensure the product's stability.
4. Market Information
The global calcium sulfate market is growing steadily. Major producers are located in regions with rich natural resources. The market price depends on factors like purity, form, and production scale. Higher - purity grades are in greater demand for industries requiring precise specifications.
5. Downstream Industries
- Construction: Used in drywall, plaster, and cement production to enhance strength and regulate setting time.
- Agriculture: Applied as a soil conditioner to improve soil structure and provide essential nutrients (calcium and sulfur).
- Food: Functions as a dough conditioner, firming agent, and anti - caking agent in food products.
- Industry: Serves as a filler in plastics, rubber, and paper, and as a component in adhesives and paints.

Application
Construction: Forms drywall, plaster, and cement additives. Gypsum panels are fire - resistant, while plaster of Paris creates molds. In cement, it controls setting time.
Agriculture: As a soil conditioner, it improves structure, supplies calcium and sulfur, and reduces soil salinity, boosting crop growth.
Food: Acts as a dough conditioner, firming agent, and anti - caking agent, enhancing texture in baked goods and preventing clumping in powders.
Industry: Used as a filler in plastics, rubber, and paper, and in adhesives to control viscosity.
