The difference between lightweight gypsum and lightweight plastering gypsum is mainly reflected in two aspects: composition and use:
1.Ingredient Differences:
Lightweight gypsum is a building material that is made by mixing gypsum (calcium sulfate) and lightweight aggregates (such as perlite, expanded perlite, etc.). It contains a certain proportion of gypsum and lightweight aggregate to improve the lightness of the material.
Lightweight plastering gypsum is a plastering material mixed with lightweight aggregates and other additives on the basis of gypsum. Its main components are also gypsum and lightweight aggregates, but some conditioners and reinforcing agents are also included.
2.Differences in use:
Lightweight gypsum is often used in building structures such as lightweight partition walls, lightweight block walls, and lightweight panels to provide thermal insulation, sound insulation, and lightweight effects. It can be used as partition wall material, filling material, insulation material, etc.
Lightweight plastering gypsum is mainly used for wall plastering and repair works. As a lightweight plastering material, it is used to level and decorate walls, providing good surface quality and decorative effects.
In addition, lightweight gypsum is also a new, environmentally friendly and economical plastering gypsum material, which has excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption properties, green environmental protection, strong adhesion, small shrinkage, not easy to crack, convenient construction and easy to operate, suitable for projects that require rapid construction progress. The lightweight plastering gypsum has the advantages of lightweight gypsum, and is also suitable for projects with a large amount of plastering in the plastering project.
There are certain differences in composition and use between lightweight gypsum and lightweight plastering gypsum, and in practical applications, it is necessary to select the right material according to the specific engineering needs and conditions.
