Our Alginate Rubber is the premier choice for high-precision replication of anatomical forms. Sourced from natural marine algae, this pH-neutral, non-toxic powder is a medical-grade material (equivalent to dental standards), ensuring absolute safety during the moulding process.

"The Slow" Alginate (Extended Set):

This variant is specifically formulated with an extended drying time, making it the ideal choice for large-scale body casting, such as pregnancy casts or complex thematic moulds. It creates sufficient time for precise application and positioning.

Compatibility Warning:
This specific variant is not compatible with liquid concrete or flowable cement.


Yield Estimates:

  • 1 pair of interlocked hands. (Smaller sized adult hands)
  • Approximately 3 infant foot impressions.
  • 1 full-scale adult foot impression.

*Note: Total yield is dependent on vessel dimensions and subject volume.

 

"The Slow" Alginate

  • Mixing Ratio: 1.8L water per 450g powder (Yields approx. 2L mass).
  • Water Temperature: 35°C.
  • Mixing Phase: 5 min (Light blue to deep purple).
  • Working Phase: 2 min (Light purple).
  • Setting Time: 3 min (Returns to light blue when set).

*Note: Timings are indicative and subject to environmental conditions.

 

Critical Technical Compatibility:

  • Single Use: Alginate moulds are disposable and must be cast on the same day as manufacture to ensure dimensional stability.
  • ConcreteClay™ Compatibility: If your final cast is intended to be produced in ConcreteClay™, you must use "The Fast" Alginate. Using "The Normal" or "The Slow" variants will cause an adverse chemical reaction with the concrete.

 

Volume Calculation Method:

  • Place the subject in the intended casting vessel.
  • Fill the vessel with water to the required coverage height.
  • Measure the water volume to establish total displacement.
