CaSO4·2H2O + paper faces
ChemistryPlaca de yeso is specified as CaSO4·2H2O + paper faces. Density band ~700–1000 kg/m³.
What holds Placa de yeso together is not the nickname. Formula CaSO4·2H2O + paper faces, density ~700–1000 kg/m³.
Meters are atlas-relative. Grades are the SKUs buyers write.
Fases
Microstructure
OrderProcessing sets grain, crystallinity or fibre orientation — the reason two lots of Placa de yeso can test differently.
Interfaces
SurfacesCoatings, oxide films, sizings or paper faces often decide weather and fire behaviour more than the bulk brochure.
Defects
FlawsInclusions, voids, knots, pinholes or residual stress start the failures that mill certificates do not list.
Grades
VariantsPlaca de yeso is a family. Grade names below are the ones buyers actually write on RFQs.
Ageing
TimeMoisture, UV, creep, hydrogen or carbonation shift properties in service. Design to the aged state.

Composites & fills
Fillers, fibres, plasticisers or aggregates are part of the real product, not impurities.
Environment film
Oxides, chars, sizings or paints are the layer the world actually meets.
Change the grade, the coating or the moisture and you have a different material with the same English name.
