PLASTER OF PARIS
Plaster is one of the oldest known synthetic building materials: it was used by the Egyptians at least 4000 years ago in the construction of the pyramids, and the Greeks were producing decorative plaster work by 500 BC. The chemistry of the conversion of gypsum to plaster was also investigated early on by chemists such as Le Chatelier (1850 - 1936) and vant Hoff (1852 - 1911). Plaster is made by heating gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) powder, thus converting it to calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CaSO4.=H2O). The hemihydrate is also known as stucco or Plaster of Paris . probably so named because of the very large deposit of pure gypsum found beneath Paris. When water is added to the stucco, the material rehydrates to give a solid mass of gypsum. This rehydration is accompanied by an increase in temperature and a slight expansion of the plaster, causing the gypsum to perfectly fill a mould. Plaster of Paris (POP) chemically is hemi-hydrate of calcium sulfate produced by calcinations / heat treatment of gypsum, a di-hydrate of calcium sulfate. It finds its application in various areas of construction, ceramic, chalk pieces, medical (dental and surgical), sculpting, etc. Physically POP is described in a and (3 form, a referring to crystalline form and 03 referring to amorphous form. In India only (3 form is produced and all further discussion refers to only this form.
