BabyRice Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 2kg Fast Set

2kg CHROMATIC ALGINATE (colour changing white-pink-white, fast setting) This BabyRice Alginate is a high grade colour change (chromatic) alginate impression powder - which is totally safe for use on even the newest newborn skin as the alginate's main ingredient is seaweed! It conforms to British safety standards BS 4269 Pt.2:1991 & ISO 1563:1990). Each 2kg (made up of 4 separate 500g packs) will create up to 10 hand/foot impression moulds for a newborn baby and 4-6 hand/foot moulds for a toddler aged 3. The impression mould will deteriorate quickly, so please don't make any moulds if you haven't got any plaster to hand. Each pack comes with basic instructions for water - powder ratio mix. NOTE: once the impression mould has been made, you need to make your cast within 15-20 mins (using Plaster), as the alginate will start to break down! If immediate casting is not possible, the alginate mould should be sealed in a polythene bag along with a damp cloth. ADVANTAGES OF USING ALGINATE AS AN IMPRESSION MOULD MAKER Natural plant extract Mixes with water Excellent reproduction of fine detail Quick setting Self releasing Peppermint flavoured Simple to use Excellent elastic properties and stability Extremely fine powder for smooth easy mix Especially formulated to be dustfree in normal use MIXING Mixing Time: 1.30-2 mins from start of mixing Setting Time: 30 sec at 30ºC (warmer water makes setting quicker, colder water makes setting slower) The skin should be lubricated with petroleum jelly to protect hair growth. A cast should be taken within 15 to 20 minutes of mixing. PLASTER - is also available from BabyRice.
