Once the compound or mud is dried it resembles gypsum and can be mistakenly assumed as gypsum plaster. However, it is not. The composition of mud and compound is Calcium Carbonate and Talcum. Calcium Carbonate is the primary ingredient in drywall compound. Which is otherwise known as ground Limestone. Talcum is the ingredient that makes the sanding of the walls the least desirable.
