Plaster of Paris is a sculpting material with a variety of decorative and practical applications. Plaster of Paris is inexpensive and simple to work with. Decorate a finished project with paint or embellish it with beads, stones and wire. Common uses for plaster of Paris include making castings for other artistic mediums, creating sculptures and making home decor objects like cornices. Plaster may also be used to create complex detailing for use in room interiors e.g ceiling boards. Plaster is also used to make chalk used in learning institutions. Plaster is also an essential commodity in making of Paint and other paint by-products. Plaster is widely used as a support for broken bones; a bandage impregnated with plaster is moistened and then wrapped around the damaged limb, setting into a close-fitting yet easily removed tube, known as an orthopedic cast. Plasters have been in use in passive fire protection, as fireproofing products, for many decades.The finished plaster releases water vapor when exposed to flame, acting to slow the spread of the fire, for as much as an hour or two depending on thickness. It also provides some insulation to retard heat flow into structural steel elements, that would otherwise lose their strength and collapse in a fire. Early versions of these plasters have used asbestos fibres, which have by now been outlawed in industrialized nations and have caused significant removal and re-coating work.

We have Bentonite, drilling Mud. Description: The mineral's ability to absorb many times its volume in water and to control odors provides an excellent material for cat litter. Wet Bentonite forms a cluster that can be easily removed, allowing the unused Bentonite to be kept for later usage. Another major use for Bentonite is in well drilling. Bentonite is utilized in drilling mud to extract drill cuttings from the bit. · Bentonite can be added to Taco-nite, an economical, low-grade iron ore powder, which enables the companies to transport taco-nite more efficiently. · The same bonding ability that enables the binding of taco-nite pellets allows Bentonite to bind with animal and poultry feed products. In addition, Bentonite decreases the rate of digestion of food in an animal, so the nutrients can be absorbed more efficiently. · Foods - Bentonite is used in an assortment of foods, such as candy bars and yogurt. In fact, the characteristics of Bentonite create the smoothness in yogurt. · Clays, especially Bentonite, have been used as medicine for centuries by indigenous peoples around the world. Even today, over 200 cultures worldwide eat or drink clay daily. Some believe Bentonite is an effective natural detoxifying agent, which is able to absorb toxins and deliver mineral nutrients, while passing through the body undigested. In other words, the clay attracts and absorbs toxins, taking them with it when leaving the body. Bentonite is very popular in the metal casting industry, where it is used as a bonding material for molding processes. When Bentonite is mixed with certain types of molding sands, a bond is formed that can withstand very high temperatures. · Bentonite is used in the ceramic and building industry where it is mixed with clay and sand to form an adhesive · Bentonite is effective in sealing against water such as in ditches, ponds, and lagoons.

Offer Agricultural Gypsum. Description: Generally improves soil structure. Creates friable soil and builds deeper top-soil. Breaks up soils compacted by its two worst enemies - sodium and clay, compounded by farm animals and machinery Reduces cracking and compaction following irrigation and retards soil crusting Allows soil to dry more quickly after rain or irrigation so that it may be worked on sooner Decreases energy requirements for tillage Binds organic matter to soil and checks soil erosion Enhances friendly bacterial action and discourages plant diseases related to poor soil aeration Farmers in New Zealand apply gypsum on their orchards and farms each autumn so that through the wet winter, gypsum conditioning benefits work into the soil Conditioned soil allows for deeper, healthier root development and water penetration.
