What is Gypsum Based Powder?

So, what is Gypsum Based Powder? Gypsum-based powder is a construction material made from a mixture of gypsum (a type of natural mineral) and water.

This material is commonly used in the construction industry for various applications, including wall plaster, wall panels, and ceiling construction in buildings.

Gypsum-based powder usually comes in the form of a fine powder, similar to wheat flour, which is mixed with clean water before use.

Once mixed with water, the mixture can be shaped according to the specific needs of the project.
