Iranian Gypsum

Iranian gypsum, known for its high purity and excellent quality, is one of Iran’s most valuable mineral export products. It has wide applications in construction, medicine, agriculture, and various industries. Thanks to rich reserves and high-grade mines in regions such as Semnan, Yazd, and Isfahan, Iranian gypsum meets international standards and is available in different types such as construction gypsum, medical (superfine) gypsum, industrial gypsum, and agricultural gypsum. With more than 95% calcium sulfate purity, Iranian gypsum surpasses foreign types like Indian, Pakistani, or Chinese gypsum in terms of strength, setting time, and brilliant whiteness. These qualities have made it highly demanded in regional construction projects, especially for gypsum boards, decorative molding, and lightweight concrete.

Iran is currently the world’s second-largest gypsum producer, exporting millions of tons annually to over 20 countries. Iranian gypsum is available in fine, medium, and coarse particle sizes, and in 25–50 kg bags or bulk packaging to meet diverse global market needs. Its key advantages include competitive pricing, product variety, and compliance with international standards such as ASTM C28 and EN 13279. Beyond construction, it is used in food industries as a moisture absorber, in agriculture to improve saline soils, and in medicine for making plaster bandages.

Types of Iranian Gypsum and Their Uses

Iran produces four main types of gypsum:

• Construction Gypsum: For plastering, gypsum blocks, and partition boards.

• Medical Gypsum: With ultra-fine grain size for orthopedic bandages.

• Industrial Gypsum: Used in cement, ceramics, and chemical fertilizer industries.

• Agricultural Gypsum: For soil conditioning and calcium enrichment of plants.

Superior Technical Specifications

Based on tests by internationally recognized labs, Iranian gypsum has the following specifications:

• Calcium sulfate purity: 95–98%

• Initial setting time: 10–15 minutes

• Compressive strength: 12–15 MPa

• Whiteness: 92% brightness (ISO 2470)
