This high-fidelity alginate is engineered for detailed body casting, suitable for both adult subjects and paediatric applications, such as infant hand impressions.
Alginate Type Selection
- Fast Setting (2.5 minutes): Recommended for infants or subjects requiring a rapid curing process. Note: Requires efficient application due to limited working time. We recommend conducting a test mix to familiarize yourself with the material's curing behaviour.
- Normal Setting (4 minutes): Suitable for most general applications.
- Slow Setting (10 minutes): Recommended for complex projects requiring extended working time.
Volume & Yield
- Fast Setting Alginate: 1 bag yields approx. 1.5 L of casting compound.
- Normal/Slow Setting Alginate: 1 bag yields approx. 2 L of casting compound.
Volume Calculation Protocol:
- Select a container appropriate for the subject's pose. Ensure sufficient clearance from the sides and bottom to allow for a uniform alginate layer, while minimizing material waste.
- Place the subject in the container and fill with water to the desired height.
- Measure the volume of water required to determine the necessary amount of alginate.
- Example: If 2 Litres of water are required, you will need 1–2 bags, depending on the chosen type.
- Paediatric Note: Infant hand castings typically require a small container (e.g., 0.5 L volume). One bag of Fast Setting Alginate is sufficient for approximately three infant casts.
