Anhydrite is a mineral of the Calcium Sulfate family . Unlike other minerals, such as gypsum (CaSO4 , 2H2O), anhydrite does not contain any water in its crystal structure: it’s an anhydrous compound. This feature, in addition to its specific crystalline configuration, make anhydrite a unique material with outstanding properties which are beneficial across many industrial applications.; The synthetic anhydrite produced by Derivados Del Fluor is supported by an Environmental Product Declaration of the International EPD® System, under registration number S-P-00387 , which guarantees a transparent, verified and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of the product.
Applications & Uses
- Applicable Processes
- Base Chemicals End Uses
- Applications
In construction, anhydrite is used as a binder for the production of self-leveling screeds, replacing cement. This has many advantages, such as better fluidity for self-leveling, greater dimensional stability, high mechanical strength and outstanding thermal conductivity.
Anhydrite is also used in many industrial applications, like cement production and in the fertilizer industry.
