Description
Fine-grain, odorless powder commonly called Plaster of Paris. Hemihydrate calcium sulfate naturally occurs as the mineral bassanite, but is commonly made by partially calcining Gypsum. When mixed with water, plaster of Paris will dry to a hard mass. It is used for wall plasters, wallboard, moldings, and statuary.
Synonyms and Related Terms
