More Details About Dustless Chalk Powder

Dustless Chalk Powder is a processed variant of Gypsum Powder. Gypsum is a natural mineral and is a comparatively soft sulfate mineral. It is mainly composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (chemical formula is CaSO4·2H2O).

Gypsum is a soft mineral which looks either white or has a whitish-grey tinge. On a microscopic level, it is made up of countless tiny crystal-like structures.

The deposits of gypsum are mainly uncovered in deltas and other places that are submerged for prolonged periods of time. Once the raw form of gypsum is mined, it is cleaned, and then dried and heated.

After it stabilizes, it is crushed and sifted to form a powder. This powder is further treated to get Dustless Chalk Powder.

This powder is used in various applications, the most prominent being in the manufacturing of dustless chalk sticks for blackboards in schools and other similar establishments.

When the gypsum rocks are initially supplied with heat, the water molecules trapped in it are made to be released, and we get anhydrous gypsum as the end product.

Gypsum also crystallizes in the form of tiny translucent selenite crystals and forms a hydration product of an anhydrite.
