The combined water makes up about 20% of gypsum rock’s weight (50% by volume) and gives the material its characteristic ﬁre-resistive qualities and high adaptability to varied construction use. The gypsum that ends up in gypsum wallboard can come from two sources. Gypsum rock can be mined from the...
