Paper	Gypsum is used in the paper industry, as a filler or pigment for paper coating. Normally a very fine grade of white gypsum is required in this application. Gypsum should be free from abrasive materials to ensure a smooth surface coating aspect.
Oil & Coal Mining	Plaster based products are used in mining applications due to their non-combustibility and non-toxicity, for fire or explosion stoppings, cavity filling and sealing, and in the fomulation of oil well drilling muds are used to lubricate the drilling head and carry away debris.
Food	Formula proposes natural, high purity gypsum (Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate) products for use in the food industry, either as a food additive or as a food processing aid, in accordance with EU regulations.

Additive / Binder / Product Base

Plaster and gypsum products are used in a variety of formulations where they are added in small amounts to improve, strengthen, or in some way alter the finished formulation.
