Calcium sulfate

Calcium sulfate is a natural mineral composed of calcium and sulfur. It is commonly used in medical and industrial applications, such as in drywall (gypsum boards) for building construction, as a food additive (e.g., in tofu or baking), and in dental materials for impressions and root fillings. When mixed with water, it forms a paste that hardens as it dries, making it useful for molds and casts. Its versatility, stability, and safety make calcium sulfate a valuable material across various industries, combining structural and functional properties efficiently.
