Lightweight Plastering Gypsum: A Next-Generation Interior Wall Solution Revolutionizing Traditional Construction

In the field of interior wall plastering, traditional cement mortar is gradually giving way to a more efficient, eco-friendly alternative: lightweight plastering gypsum. As an air-hardening material based on building gypsum, blended with optimized additives and aggregates, it not only addresses the long-standing drawbacks of traditional plastering but also marks a significant leap forward in construction efficiency and wall performance.


Why Choose Plastering Gypsum?


Superior Adhesion and Crack Resistance

Plastering gypsum boasts exceptional bonding to various substrates—especially aerated concrete walls—eliminating the need for additional primers. Its micro-expansion properties effectively counteract shrinkage, preventing hollowing, cracking, and spalling, thus significantly reducing post-construction repair costs.


Eco-Friendly and Comfort-Enhancing for Living Spaces

The hardened surface is dense, dust-free, non-toxic, and odorless. What’s more, its microporous structure enables "breathability," automatically regulating indoor humidity to boost living comfort. Additionally, gypsum offers excellent flame retardancy: when exposed to fire, it releases crystallized water to form a protective barrier, greatly enhancing building safety.


Energy-Saving, Cost-Reducing, and Efficient Construction

  • Thermal insulation: With a thermal conductivity only 30% that of concrete, it cuts down on energy consumption.

  • Rapid hardening: Achieves required strength in just 1–2 days—70% faster than cement mortar—making it ideal for time-sensitive projects.

  • Winter compatibility: Maintains stable hydration even in low temperatures, allowing construction as long as mixing water remains unfrozen, breaking free from seasonal constraints.

  • Ease of operation: Simply add water, mix on-site, and apply directly to walls—no complex processes, reducing labor intensity.

  • Material efficiency: Its lightweight nature lowers transportation and handling costs. A single layer can reach over 10mm in thickness, eliminating the need for multiple coats.

  • High-quality finish: The wall surface is highly level, ready for direct painting or decorative layers without additional leveling work.


Conclusion


With its lightweight composition, fast-drying,eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness, plastering gypsum is emerging as the top choice for interior wall plastering in modern construction. Whether for new builds or renovations, it delivers multiple benefits to developers, contractors, and end-users alike.


Embracing innovative materials to boost construction efficiency and building quality—plastering gypsum is undoubtedly the future of interior wall plastering.
