Agricultural Product
Gypsum from the CL Ranch spreads smoothly, adding balance to soils and plants.When surface applied (high purity) Gypsum interacts with water, it releases ELECTROLYTES that reduce crusting and clodding, leaving top soil more porous and supportive of root growth.
Soil pores plug quickly when crusted, blocking water infiltration. Gypsum can solve that problem, while adding much needed calcium and sulfate to your land.
Industrial Product
NATURAL GYPSUM is suitable for use in numerous industrial processes; Portland Cement, plaster, and fertilizer manufacturing, to name a few.
Portland Cement: Portland Cements typically use 3 to 5 percent gypsum in finish milling to contol setting action of otherwise highly reactive clinker.
Plaster: Plaster in its simplist form is calcined (cooked) gypsum or Plaster Of Paris. Drywall is principally made from calcined gypsum. CL Ranch gypsum quality is suitable for many forms of plaster manufacturing.
Fertilizers: Gypsum is often added to fertilizers as a calcium or sulfur source. CL Ranch gypsum has about 21% calcium and 17% sulfur content.
Gypsum is also used as a filler in many industrial products. Gypsum is used simply to add bulk and density to more expensive products needing additional density or bulking.
