This is a fine white powder used in creative work, light construction mixes, and selected personal care formulas.
This material is often added to gypsum & cement mixes to help create lighter structures. It releases gas when heated or mixed in certain conditions, which helps form small air pockets. This makes it useful in low weight cement, plaster work, and decorative casting. In art and craft, it can be used to create textured finishes, lightweight molds, and experimental surfaces. It also has limited use in cosmetic formulations where a mild buffering agent is needed.
Why it helps?
- Helps reduce weight in cement & gypsum mixes
- Creates light, airy structure in plaster casting (Ideal to make Aircrete)
