Fibrous calcium sulfate is produced by autoclaving a dilute aqueous suspension of gypsum, at a temperature between the minimum fiber forming temperature and about 20 DEG C. above, in the presence of a dispersing agent to provide for discrete whisker crystal development and protecting the whisker crystals from destruction or conversion to a different physical or chemical form until they have been stabilized by calcining at a temperature in excess of 500 DEG C. |
