1. Ease of Application (Workability): Gypsum can be directly applied over brick/block work without separate finishing. It is also very easy to apply and level gypsum plaster.
No Shrinkage Cracks: Gypsum reaction produces less heat as compared to cement reaction with water. So there are fewer Shrinkage cracks in gypsum plaster as compared to traditional cement plaster.
2. Quick Setting Time: Gypsum sets quickly (i.e., within 25-30 mins). So painting could be started 72 hours after application of gypsum plaster. Plaster has to be dried up before painting.
3. No curing time required: Unlike Traditional Cement Plaster, Gypsum plaster doesn’t need any curing saving water and time dring construction.
4. High Productivity: Reduces time considerably when compared to conventional cement plaster.
5. High Performance: Excellent high strength after drying, Durable and Light weight (Reduces dead load on structure).
6. Smooth Finish: Perfectly lined, levelled, smooth walls and perfect right angled corners.
7. Fire resistant: Gypsum plaster is highly resistant to fire.
8. Low thermal conductivity: Gypsum has low thermal conductivity. This saves electrical cost for heating and cooling rooms in a building.
9. Decorative application: It can be easily applied to decorative purposes also and can be mould into different shapes
