Applications

Suitable for making face prints and other body parts. When the mould is finished, only water-curing products such as zellane, gypsum and plaster can be poured into it.

Usage

Use alginate at room temperature.
Measure and weigh the correct amount of water and alginate.
Mixing ratio is 50 g powder to 150 ml water.
For a brushable mixture, use a ratio of 50 g of powder to 100 - 120 ml of water.
Sprinkle the powder into the water, not the other way around!
Then stir the powder and water, preferably with a small mixer.
Use a low speed, max. 200-300 rpm. Manual mixing is also possible for small quantities.
Mechanical mixing gives a better result.
Apply alginate to the skin or model with a flowing movement.
This avoids air bubbles on the surface.
Processing time 4 minutes (at 23°C).
Binding time approx. 8-10 min.
Application time and binding time are strongly influenced by temperature.
Cold water slows down, warm water accelerates.
You can adjust the fluidity of alginate by changing the powder/water ratio.
More water gives a thinner mass, longer processing time and demoulding time.
Less water gives a thicker mass, shorter processing time and demoulding time.
If necessary, you can apply several layers on top of each other.

Please note: always make small quantities in function of the processing time.
