SKIMMING/FILLERS

  • Type - Plaster of Paris (POP) is a quick-setting material made from gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) by heating it to around 150°C to remove water, forming calcium sulfate hemihydrate. When mixed with water, it forms a paste that hardens rapidly as it reabsorbs water and reverts to gypsum. POP is widely used in construction, sculpture, mold-making, and medical applications like orthopedic casts. It sets within minutes and expands slightly while setting, making it ideal for detailed molds. However, it is not water-resistant and can crack if applied too thickly or exposed to moisture. Proper handling and safety precautions are essential when using it.
