Description

A powdered mixture of calcium silicates and aluminates, which is made by heating limestone (CaCO3) with clay, and grinding the result. When mixed with water, reactions occur with the water (hence the name hydraulic cement) and a hard solid aluminosilicate is formed. calcium sulphate: A white solidcompound, CaSO4; r.d. 2.96; 1450°C.It occurs naturally as the mineralanhydrite, which has a rhombicstructure, transforming to a monoclinicform at 200°C.

Gypsum appears as white or nearly white, odorless, crystalline solid.|Calcium sulfate dihydrate is a calcium salt and a hydrate. It contains a calcium sulfate.|A calcium salt that is used for a variety of purposes including: building materials, as a desiccant, in dentistry as an impression material, cast, or die, and in medicine for immobilizing casts and as a tablet excipient. It exists in various forms and states of hydration. Plaster of Paris is a mixture of powdered and heat-treated gypsum.

Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.

|Warning|H335: May cause respiratory irritation [Warning Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure; Respiratory tract irritation]|P261, P271, P304+P340, P312, P403+P233, P405, and P501

In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

Skin: No recommendation is made specifying the need for personal protective equipment for the body. Eyes: No recommendation is made specifying the need for eye protection. Wash skin: No recommendation is made specifying the need for washing the substance from the skin (either immediately or at the end of the work shift). Remove: No recommendation is made specifying the need for removing clothing that becomes wet or contaminated. Change: No recommendation is made specifying the need for the worker to change clothing after the work shift. (NIOSH, 2016)|(See protection codes)

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.

A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

May cause mechanical irritation.

Lungs may be affected by repeated or prolongated exposure to dust particles.

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Wear safety spectacles.

Drug Information

Materials used in the production of dental bases, restorations, impressions, prostheses, etc. (See all compounds classified as Dental Materials.)

Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Irritation eyes, skin, mucous membrane, upper respiratory system; cough, sneezing, rhinorrhea (discharge of thin mucus) Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system (NIOSH, 2016)

Eye: If this chemical contacts the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical. Breathing: If a person breathes large amounts of this chemical, move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Other measures are usually unnecessary. (NIOSH, 2016)|(See procedures)


Fresh air, rest.


Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.


First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Gypsum (Ca(SO4).2H2O) Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Anhydrous:insoluble anhydrite is used in cement formulations and as a paper filler.Soluble anhydride, because of its strong tendency to absorb moisture, is useful as a drying agent for solids, organic liquids and gases; the desiccant used in laboratory and industry is known under the name Drierite. This material can be regenerated repeatedly and reused without noticeable decrease in its desiccating efficiency.The hemihydrate is used for wall plasters; wallboard; tiles and blocks for the building industry; moldings; statuary; in the paper industry.The dihydrate is used in the manufacture of portland cement; in soil treatment to neutralize alkali carbonates and to prevent loss of volatile and dissolved nitrogenous compounds by volatilization and leaching; for the manufacture of plaster of Paris, artificial marble; as a white pigment, filler or glaze in paints, enamels, pharmaceuticals, paper, insecticide dusts, yeast manufacture, water treatment, polishing powders; in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, CaC2, (NH4)2SO4, porous polymers.Pharmaceutic aid (in plaster casts).
