Gypsum binders in dry building mixes

Gypsum binders and materials based on them have a number of valuable qualities. The production of gypsum binders is non-toxic, requires low specific fuel and energy consumption (approximately 4-5 times less compared to cement production), materials based on gypsum binders are characterized by high heat and sound insulation properties, fire and fire safety, lightweight, and can be used as decorative elements for architectural solutions for interior decoration.

It should be especially noted that the use of gypsum materials for interior decoration provides a favorable indoor climate due to the ability of the material to "breathe" — easily absorb moisture and give it away. Research on the development of mixed gypsum binders, initiated by the school of P. P. Budnikov, A. V. Volzhensky, and A. A. Antipin, expanded the scope of possible use of gypsum binders by increasing the water resistance of materials.

In recent years, new generation materials based on gypsum binders have been developed: composite, modified, with reduced water consumption and high operational properties.
