Alginate is a hydrophilic polymer derived from dried and ground seaweed.<\/p>\n
It comes in the form of a fine white powder.<\/p>\n
The powder mixes with water and turns into a gelatinous paste on contact.<\/p>\n
When set, the alginate solidifies and retains the precise imprint of the body.<\/p>\n
It allows excellent reproduction of the human body (face, hands, etc.) as well as various other organic materials (fruit, plants, animals, etc.).<\/p>\n

Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n If necessary, aerate the powder by hand to remove any lumps.<\/p>\n Measure the quantity of water required and pour in 1\/3 of the powder.<\/p>\n Mix the first mixture well before adding the remaining 2\/3 of the powder.<\/p>\n When the mixture is perfectly homogeneous, the alginate is ready for use.<\/p>\n Immerse the object you want to reproduce in it for a few minutes. When it sets, gently pull it out. <\/p>\n You can also apply a thick layer of alginate to the face or surface of your choice.<\/p>\n In this case, it will be necessary to make a counter-mould to hold it in place.<\/p>\n To do this, use plaster strips, cut to the required length by yourself.<\/p>\n Apply them directly to the alginate after it has set, and repeat the operation until you obtain a sufficiently solid shell.<\/p>\n When the mould is ready, fill the negative within the hour.<\/p>\n Alginate shrinks as it dries, so the longer you wait, the more the mould will shrink.<\/p>\n When the plaster has hardened, tear the alginate to release your print.<\/p>\n The mould is not reusable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note<\/em><\/p>\n *1 Setting time varies with the temperature of the water; the higher the temperature, the shorter the working time.<\/em><\/p>\n *2The exact ratio of 2:1 must be respected so as not to alter the final characteristics of the product.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n Can be applied directly to the skin<\/p>\n Clean, easy and accessible to use<\/p>\n Quick catch<\/p>\n Precise moulding with optimum reproduction of detail<\/p>\n Excellent compatibility with plaster<\/p>\n <\/p>\n APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n Artistic: for the reproduction and study of parts of the human body<\/p>\n Medical\/dental: for the production of removable prostheses<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Features <\/strong><\/p>\n Quick option :<\/p>\n Mixing ratio: 10 g powder with 20 g water<\/p>\n Colour: whitish to pink<\/p>\n Mixing time: 60 sec<\/p>\n Treatment time: 6 min<\/p>\n Product temperature: 23\u00b0C<\/p>\n Storage: Avoid exposure to moisture and high temperatures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slower option :<\/p>\n Mixing ratio: 10 g powder with 20 g water<\/p>\n Colour: white<\/p>\n Mixing time: 60 sec<\/p>\n Treatment time: 9 min<\/p>\n Product temperature: 23\u00b0C<\/p>\n Storage: Avoid exposure to moisture and high temperatures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Security<\/strong><\/p>\n Not harmful to the skin.<\/p>\n Remove contact lenses if applying to the face.<\/p>\n Consult a doctor if swallowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Moulding alginate is a natural product suitable for all body impressions.<\/span><\/p>\n Mixed with water, this seaweed powder gives a perfect reproduction of the finest details.<\/span><\/p>\n The proofs can then be printed in moulding plaster, synthetic plaster, wax or our F23 polyurethane resin.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7759,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[412,1657],"product_tag":[602,434,361,435,429,603,370],"class_list":{"0":"post-8998","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-molding","7":"product_cat-skin-molding","8":"product_tag-body","9":"product_tag-cast","10":"product_tag-molding","11":"product_tag-prototype-en","12":"product_tag-show","13":"product_tag-slow","14":"product_tag-special-effects","16":"first","17":"instock","18":"taxable","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-variable"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=8998"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8998"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finres-sa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
