Gypsum characteristics
Gypsum characteristics
A technical, natural, and sustainable material for a more efficient construction industry.
Gypsum is a mineral resource of natural origin, without chemical transformations in its composition, and with a high recycling capacity. These properties make it a key material within the constructive models that are committed to sustainability, the circular economy, and energy efficiency.
Its use is widely extended in industrial, technical, and decorative applications,
maintaining an excellent balance between performance, safety, and environmental respect.
Thanks to its experience and specialization in the sector, FARRAÚS works with gypsum as a strategic raw material for the design of production systems for prefabricated elements destined for the most demanding sectors of construction and industry.
Technical properties of gypsum
Essential technical properties of gypsum that make it a versatile and efficient material for the manufacture of prefabricated elements.
Gypsum and circular economy
Gypsum can be recycled almost infinitely without loss of performance.
Technical Properties of Gypsum
Gypsum provides essential technical properties that make it a versatile and efficient material for the manufacture of prefabricated elements.
Natural fire resistance
Gypsum incorporates water into its molecular structure, which allows it to release steam in case of high temperatures.
This characteristic gives it natural fire-retardant properties, which position it as a preferred material in passive fire protection solutions.
Hygrothermal regulation of the indoor environment
It acts as a humidity regulator, absorbing or releasing it depending on environmental conditions.
This improves indoor comfort and reduces energy consumption in air conditioning.
Acoustic isolation
Its ability to reduce reverberation and attenuate noise makes it an ideal material for spaces that require sound comfort, both in homes and in collective facilities.
Compatibility with health and indoor air quality
Gypsum does not contain volatile organic compounds or toxic elements. Its composition guarantees healthier and safer interior environments, especially in buildings of intensive use such as hospitals, offices, or educational centers.
Lightness and dimensional stability
It facilitates the transport, handling and installation of prefabricated elements, without compromising their durability or technical performance.
Low carbon footprint
The extraction, transformation and transport of gypsum generates a much lower environmental impact than other equivalent construction materials.
In addition, it allows the development of products with high energy efficiency during their use.
Gypsum and circular economy
Gypsum can be recycled almost infinitely without loss of performance, allowing its waste to be integrated into closed-loop production processes.
FARRAÚS develops its technological solutions to optimize this characteristic, promoting a cleaner, more efficient prefabrication industry committed to reducing environmental impact.
Optimized and sustainable production
FARRAÚS systems are designed to integrate recycled raw materials, minimize waste, and optimize energy consumption during manufacturing, promoting cleaner and more efficient production.
Efficient and prolonged life cycle
Prefabricated solutions allow for effective reuse and recycling at the end of their useful life, offering high durability and contributing to buildings with better energy performance and lower environmental impact.
