Learn About Calcium Sulfate
Physical and Chemical Properties of Calcium Sulfate
Basic Morphology: Calcium sulfate is a typical multi-phase crystalline inorganic compound, mainly divided into dihydrate, hemihydrate and anhydrous types. High-purity products appear as white fine powder or columnar transparent crystals without peculiar smell. After our precise phase-controlled crystallization, the finished products feature uniform particle shape, high whiteness and no agglomeration impurities, meeting international industrial and food-grade standards.
Solubility Characteristics: Different from most high-solubility inorganic salts, calcium sulfate presents low and temperature-dependent water solubility, with slight solubility in water and almost no solubility in organic solvents. Its unique dissolving and precipitation characteristics form the core technical basis for our selective purification and high-purity crystal separation process.
Phase Transformation & Stability: The product has stable chemical properties at room temperature, no oxidation, deliquescence or decomposition. Dihydrate calcium sulfate undergoes staged dehydration and phase transformation with temperature rise, converting into hemihydrate and anhydrous products in sequence. The reversible hydration hardening feature is the key property for building and functional material applications.
Thermal & Mechanical Traits: Calcium sulfate has excellent high-temperature resistance and structural stability, with no harmful gas decomposition during heating processing. It features good molding hardening performance and low shrinkage rate after hydration, suitable for high-standard building material and precision industrial processing scenarios.
Customizable Indexes: We can precisely adjust product phase proportion, particle size distribution, bulk density and impurity content to produce building-grade, food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade and industrial-grade calcium sulfate, adapting to diverse downstream application thresholds.
