List of featured suppliers of PLASTERS Retarded Semi-Hydrate Hemi-Hydrate on Building Products Index
Plasters can be made from a combination of materials, which typically includes either retarded semi-hydrate or hemi-hydrate. Retarded semi-hydrate is a form of gypsum that has been carefully processed to extend its working time when mixed with water until it hardens. In contrast, hemi-hydrate is a more rapidly setting gypsum form that requires careful monitoring to ensure that it sets in the desired time frame. Both materials are valued for their ability to create smooth and durable surface finishes for interior walls, ceilings, and other building features.
