Encyclopedia article

Plaster of Paris, or simply plaster, is a type of building material based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate, nominally (CaSO4)2. H2O. It is created by heating gypsum to about 150°C, 2(CaSO4.2 H2O) => (CaSO4)2 .H2O + 3 H2O (released as steam). (continued at Wikipedia)


Ou seja, pode ser "esparadrapo", "gesso", "emplastro" etc.
