Well come
Thank you for choosing The Gallegos Corporation’s depot to select your gypsum rock
mineral materials; we strive to stock the widest selection of size in the region.
Our catalog is updated annually to provide clients with the most current information on the
stones we regularly stock. Its purpose is to spur the imagination, and is not meant to be all
encompassing of options or possibilities. The gypsum rock catalog represents only a small
fraction of the materials and services that The KHGI has direct access to provide.
Our world-wide relationships make possibilities near endless. We are always up to the
challenge of sourcing the perfect stone for your unique application.
Thank you,

Gypsum
An important construction material that has been used for thousands of years
Gypsum is an evaporate mineral most commonly found in layered sedimentary deposits in association with
halite, anhydrite, sulfur, calcite, and dolomite. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) is very similar to Anhydrite (CaSO4). The
chemical difference is that gypsum contains two waters and anhydrite is without water. Gypsum is the most
common sulfate mineral.
Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula
CaSO4·2H2O. It is widely mined and is used as a fertilizer, and as the main constituent in many forms of plaster,
blackboard chalk and wallboard. A massive fine-grained white or lightly tinted variety of gypsum, called
alabaster, has been used for sculpture by many cultures including Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Ancient Rome,
Byzantine empire and the Nottingham alabasters of medieval England. It is the definition of a hardness of 2 on
the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It forms as an evaporate mineral and as a hydration product of anhydrite.
Gypsum is moderately water-soluble (~2.0–2.5 g/l at 25 °C) and, in contrast to
most other salts, it exhibits retrograde solubility, becoming less soluble at higher
temperatures. When gypsum is heated in air it loses water and converts first to
calcium sulfate hemihydrate, (bassanite, often simply called "plaster") and, if
heated further, to anhydrous calcium sulfate (anhydrite). As for anhydrite, its
solubility in saline solutions and in brines is also strongly dependent on NaCl
concentration.
Gypsum occurs in nature as flattened and often twinned crystals, and transparent, cleavable masses called
selenite. Selenite contains no significant selenium; rather, both substances were named for the ancient Greek
word for the Moon.
Selenite may also occur in a silky, fibrous form, in which case it is commonly called "satin spar". Finally, it may
also be granular or quite compact. In hand-sized samples, it can be anywhere from transparent to opaque. A
very fine-grained white or lightly tinted variety of gypsum, called alabaster, is prized for ornamental work of
various sorts. In arid areas, gypsum can occur in a flower-like form, typically opaque, with embedded sand grains
called desert rose. It also forms some of the largest crystals found in nature, up to 12 m long, in the form of
selenite.

About KHGI. Co
More than 40 years’ experience in gypsum Industrial
KHGI. is a synonym for gypsum. This brand of building material isn’t just coincidence, it is the result of
forth decades of hard working and consistently high quality.
The fact is, if you say KHGI, you mean dependability. Our company is humbler comparably other
manufactures for product certainly. The company was established in 1978 in the south west of Iran. The
improvement of company caused by laying the good foundation, investor courage, determination and logical
business. KHGI product line made by BSH Germany. The mentioned machinery included one high burn rotary
kiln, one low burn rotary kiln, automatic loading plant and dry mix plant.
Today KHGI is one of Iranian modern manufactures
of gypsum rock, plaster of Paris and kind of plaster, with
12 production facilities and export organization to Iraq,
Kuwait, Emirate and India.
Amid our success, our manager board has stayed
true to its principles. We value mutual trust, diligence,
visionary, thinking, and cohesion.
Regardless of the structure and our policy KHGI

Company like as B.V, B.S, and SGS.
What is our improvement reason? It is our sense of community feedbacks. Our ability to make a good
contribution to the completion of building projects. Our tradition to do only the best. Our will to think and act
cooperatively. Everything in the interests of our customers. For their goals and their success. Thanks to our
exceptional employees.

Gypsum Mining
Commercial quantities of gypsum are found in the cities of Araripina and Grajaú in Brazil; in Pakistan,
Jamaica, Iran (world's third largest producer), Thailand, Spain (the main producer in Europe), Germany, Italy,
England, Ireland, Canada and the United States. Large open pit quarries are located in many places including
Plaster City, California, United States, and East Kutai, Kalimantan, Indonesia. Several small mines also exist in
places such as Kalannie in Western Australia, where gypsum is sold to private buyers for changing the pH levels
of soil for agricultural purposes.
Crystals of gypsum up to 11 m (36 ft) long have been
found in the caves of the Naica Mine of Chihuahua,
Mexico. The crystals thrived in the cave's extremely rare
and stable natural environment. Temperatures stayed at
58 °C (136 °F), and the cave was filled with mineral-rich
water that drove the crystals' growth. The largest of those
crystals weighs 55 tons and is around 500,000 years old.

Gypsum is used in a variety of applications:
Gypsum board is primarily used as a finish for walls and
ceilings, and is known in construction as drywall,
wallboard, sheetrock or plasterboard.
Gypsum blocks are used like concrete blocks in
building construction.
Gypsum mortar is an ancient mortar used in building
construction.
Plaster ingredients are used in surgical splints, casting
molds and modeling.
A binder in fast-dry tennis court clay
As alabaster, a material for sculpture, it was used
especially in the ancient world before steel was
developed, when its relative softness made it much
easier to carve.
A wood substitute in the ancient world: For example,
when wood became scarce due to deforestation on
Bronze Age Crete, gypsum was employed in building
construction at locations where wood was previously
used.[20]
A tofu (soy bean curd) coagulant, making it ultimately
a major source of dietary calcium, especially in Asian
cultures which traditionally use few dairy products
Adding hardness to water used for brewing.
Used in baking as a dough conditioner, reducing
stickiness, and as a baked-goods source of dietary
calcium. The primary component of mineral yeast food.
A component of Portland cement used to prevent
flash setting of concrete
Soil/water potential monitoring (soil moisture)
Used in mushroom cultivation to stop grains from
clumping together
Test have shown that gypsum can be used to
remove pollutants such as lead[24] or arsenic[25][26]
from contaminated waters.

Our Gypsum Mines
Mineral exploration, infrastructure and industry constitute any society. Iran is one of the richest countries
in terms of mineral deposits.
Iran's position in a way that has very large
reserves and an abundance of gypsum purity
is very high. In general we can say that in every
region of the radius of 100 km can be Gypsum
mineral found about 260 mine across the
country found that about 10 percent of Iran
nominal capacity of extraction annually close
to 9 million tons. Especially in the central
desert gypsum can be found every place.
In line with the supply and sale of gypsum, we have got two mines, the first one is Mangenan with 98%
purity and 250 thousand tons capacity per year, and second one is Pagachi with 90% purity and 200 thousand
tons capacity per year
