Type II Dental Plaster
Type II Dental Plaster is one of the most widely used dental materials, produced from high-purity natural gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate – CaSO4·2H2O). It is a fine, white powder that sets quickly when mixed with water, forming a smooth and durable mass. Due to its workability, affordability, and reliable setting characteristics, Type II plaster is a standard material in dental laboratories and clinics for a wide range of applications, including model fabrication, study casts, and diagnostic purposes.
BAZARKO, as a trusted manufacturer and supplier, offers Type II Dental Plaster with superior quality, manufactured under strict quality control systems and certified by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 17025, and ISO/IEC 17020. With decades of expertise and advanced production facilities, BAZARKO provides products that meet international dental standards, delivering consistent performance and high purity.
Properties of Type II Dental Plaster
- Chemical Formula: CaSO4·½H2O (hemihydrate form)
- Appearance: Fine white powder
- Setting Time: Short, adjustable depending on application
- Compressive Strength: Moderate (lower than dental stone, but sufficient for routine tasks)
- Expansion: Slight setting expansion to ensure dimensional accuracy
- Purity: Available in standard grades and up to 99% purity from BAZARKO
- Workability: Easy to mix, pour, and handle for quick model preparation
Production Process
- Raw Gypsum Selection: High-quality natural gypsum is carefully selected from mines.
- Calcination: The gypsum is heated to around 150–160°C to remove part of the water, producing the hemihydrate form (plaster of Paris).
- Grinding and Milling: The calcined gypsum is ground into a fine powder to achieve the required fineness.
- Quality Control: Strict laboratory testing ensures controlled setting time, consistency, and purity.
- Packaging: The finished product is packed under hygienic and moisture-proof conditions for delivery.
Applications of Type II Dental Plaster
- Dental Models and Study Casts: Used for preparing diagnostic models of patients’ teeth.
- Molding and Impression Pouring: Ideal for preliminary casts in restorative dentistry.
- Orthodontic Study Models: Commonly used to prepare orthodontic case studies.
- Educational Purposes: Widely applied in dental schools for training and demonstration.
- General Casting: Used in some non-dental fields for mold preparation where moderate strength is required.
