Clay-gypsum of each deposit are ecologically safe natural materials. They differ from others in their mineralogical and phase composition, they have different properties. Such a spread of properties of natural clay-gypsum, including after their heat treatment, makes it difficult to process them and, ultimately, use. The factor of "unpredictability of the obtained results" is one of the reasons why this type of natural composites are practically not used in modern construction. The paper presents the results of studies of the properties of model compositions of a clay-gypsum binder. The theoretical basis of the research is the methodology for the creation of new building materials, developed at the MSUCE. According to the proposed provisions, the properties of composite (or multicomponent) systems can be evaluated using the concept of a model body, in our case a "model material", manufactured with observance of certain technological parameters. According to the results of the first stage, the optimum temperature for calcination of an artificial clay-gypsum binder (which was 230-250°C) was established, and a graphical interpretation of the results was carried out using triple diagrams. By results of researches it is established, that the majority of natural structures in the natural state, or after modification can be used as a basis for reception of interior plaster mixes.
