TFC Alginate impression material blue fast 3-4 minutes 1.0 kg

Alginate is a problem-free impression material with which quick and easy hollow moulds (negative moulds) can be taken from an original model.

This impression material is completely harmless and can also be applied to the skin:
Alginates are used in professional make-up art.
Many studios or theatres use the alginate to get a perfect impression of an actor's face.
Erotic body impressions (breast, buttocks) are also possible with it without any problems and at low cost.
In principle, you can cast all water-soluble materials into an alginate mould - plaster, relief plaster, dental plaster, hard plaster (e.g. our TFC Xyrarock), casting clay.

Silicone rubber only works to a very limited extent, as the alginate mould contains water and there can then be air bubbles and an unsightly surface on the contact surface between the silicone and alginate.

This moulding material is also very interesting for model makers.
You can use alginate for your model making, cars, houses or even entire landscapes.

Also, alginate is an optimal material for restorers for the restoration of old objects.

Alginate (blue)
An alginate for removing the impression.
Possible mixing ratios in weight proportions:
2 parts water, 1 part alginate for a firm impression compound
3 parts water, 1 part alginate for a medium consistency

Water temperature:
Use water (approx. 12 degrees Celsius) and, if possible, distilled water.
A higher water temperature shortens the processing time.

Mixing sequence:
For an optimum mixture, add the water to the alginate. When doing so, make sure that no powder nests form, which can later have an unfavourable effect as lumps.

Mixing
Mix the components carefully for approx. 30-40 seconds until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.
Process a small test quantity in advance to familiarise yourself with the material.

Application:
Apply the alginate to the object or body part that is to be moulded. The material is fully cured after about 3-5 minutes from the start of mixing at 23 degrees room temperature. Depending on the selected mixing ratio, a jelly- to pudding-like consistency results after hardening, with a firm consistency comparable to a sliceable sausage e.g. Mortadella.
Please note the short processing time if you want to process larger quantities at once.

Notes
The alginate mould can be strengthened and supported by applying plaster bandages.
The finished mould contains a high water content, shrinks due to evaporation of the moisture it contains and should be poured out quickly, i.e. max. 2-3 hours after setting.
