ChEBI: Calcium sulfate hemihydrate is a calcium salt and a hydrate. | [Reactivity Profile]
Plaster of Paris (Ca(SO4).1/2H2O) is non-flammable and non-combustible. Has generally low chemical reactivity but can act as an oxidizing agent under extreme conditions. Decomposes at high temperature to generate toxic oxides of sulfur. Reacts exothermically but slowly with moisture in the air or water to form gypsum CaSO4.2H2O. |
