FAQs About Gypsum Plaster

What is gypsum plaster used for?
Gypsum plaster is used for wall and ceiling finishing, providing a smooth, durable, and crack-free surface.
Yes, gypsum plaster is superior due to its fast drying time, smooth finish, and resistance to cracks.
No, gypsum plaster is recommended only for interior walls and ceilings.
It typically dries within 24-48 hours, much faster than cement plaster.
Gypsum plaster is moisture-resistant but not waterproof, making it suitable for dry indoor spaces.
No, unlike cement plaster, gypsum plaster does not require water curing.
Yes, gypsum plaster provides a smooth surface that is perfect for painting.
Yes, it is VOC-free, non-toxic, and has a lower carbon footprint than traditional plasters.
Yes, due to its flexibility and strength, gypsum plaster is resistant to shrinkage cracks.
While the initial cost may be slightly higher, gypsum plaster reduces labor and maintenance costs, making it cost-effective in the long run.
Gypsum plaster is manufactured by heating natural gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) at high temperatures to remove water content, resulting in a fine hemihydrate powder. This process is known as calcination. When mixed with water, the powder rehydrates and hardens into a strong, smooth surface.
Gypsum plaster quality is evaluated through various IS (Indian Standard) testing methods, including:
  • IS 2547 (Part 1 & 2): 1976 – For gypsum building plasters.
  • IS 1288: 1982 – Determination of purity, fineness, and setting time.
  • IS 8272: 1976 – Standard specifications for gypsum-based plasterboard and plasters.
  • Compressive Strength Test – Determines the load-bearing capacity.
  • Water Absorption Test – Ensures moisture resistance.
Setting Time Test – Measures initial and final setting times for application efficiency.
Gypsum plastering is a modern wall and ceiling finishing technique where gypsum powder is mixed with water to create a smooth, durable coating over brick, concrete, or RCC surfaces. It eliminates the need for sand-cement plastering and provides a ready-to-paint surface.
Gypsum punning is the process of applying a thin layer (2-3mm) of gypsum plaster over an already plastered or concrete surface to achieve an ultra-smooth and polished finish. It enhances paint adhesion and reduces wall undulations.
Gypsum plaster is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or wet kitchens unless protected with waterproof coatings. However, it can be used in semi-dry zones with proper ventilation.
Yes, gypsum plaster is completely non-toxic, VOC-free, and does not emit harmful gases. It is safe for both residential and commercial use.
Yes, gypsum plaster can be applied to RCC (reinforced concrete cement) surfaces, but it requires a bonding agent or primer to ensure proper adhesion.
Yes! Gypsum has natural breathability, which helps regulate humidity and reduce airborne pollutants, improving indoor air quality.
The ideal thickness of gypsum plaster varies based on surface type:
  • Brick Walls: 10-12mm
  • Concrete Walls: 6-8mm
Ceilings: 10-15mm
Excessive water can weaken the plaster mix, leading to poor strength, cracks, and longer drying time. Always follow the recommended mixing ratio.
It is not advisable to apply gypsum plaster over painted surfaces, as it may not adhere properly. If necessary, the paint should be removed or the surface should be roughened for better adhesion.
Gypsum plaster has a shelf life of 3-6 months when stored in a dry, moisture-free environment. Prolonged exposure to humidity can reduce its effectiveness.
Due to its natural thermal insulation properties, gypsum plaster helps reduce heat transfer, keeping interiors cooler in summers and warmer in winters, leading to energy savings.
Yes, minor damages like cracks or dents can be easily repaired using a fresh gypsum plaster mix, unlike cement plaster which requires extensive patchwork.
Yes, gypsum is naturally resistant to termites and fungi, making it a hygienic option for walls and ceilings.
Gypsum plaster comes in different types based on composition and use cases:
  • Casting Gypsum Plaster – Used for decorative moldings.
  • Skim Coat Gypsum Plaster – Applied in thin layers for fine finishing.
Machine-Applied Gypsum Plaster – Used for large-scale construction with mechanized application.
Yes, applying a primer before painting helps in better paint adhesion and longevity.
Gypsum plaster is lightweight and flexible, which helps reduce structural load and provides better resistance to minor seismic movements.
Gypsum plaster is a base coat, while wall putty is a finishing coat. Gypsum is used for plastering entire walls, whereas putty is applied in thin layers before painting.
Yes, while the initial cost may be slightly higher than cement plaster, gypsum plaster eliminates curing costs, reduces labor time, and minimizes maintenance expenses, making it more economical in the long run.
