Gypsum Powder (Premium Iranian Casting Grade)

Gypsum Powder (Calcium Sulfate)

Casting grade gypsum powder is a fine, high-purity calcium sulfate hemihydrate widely used in casting using molds, craft, industrial & construction applications. It is ideal for mold making, casting, filler use, and as a raw material in cement, plaster, and other building materials.

When to Choose Plaster of Paris Instead: While gypsum is ideal for wall coatings, sculpture bases, and bulk applications, some projects require more precision. Plaster of Paris is a refined form of gypsum that sets quickly and captures fine details, making it perfect for casting, moulding, and model making. If you need a smoother, faster-setting option, check out our Plaster of Paris (Fine Casting Grade).

Water-to-gypsum Ratio
Consistency Type, Water to : POP Ratio % (by weight)

1. Thick Paste 65g Water : 100g Gypsum (Stronger cast, sets faster)
2. Thin Slurry 75g (max) Water : 100g Gypsum (Easier to pour, weak cast & slow setting)

Store in a dry place away from moisture and humidity
