Alginate

Fast setting alginate impression material from DSI for study models, opposing arches, orthodontic records and preliminary impressions. It mixes to a smooth consistency and sets predictably, so models pour clean the first time.

Alginate loses accuracy as it dries or absorbs water, so pour the impression within a few minutes, or keep it in a sealed bag with a damp towel for a short time.

Use cool water to extend working time and warm water to speed up the set. Measure powder and water accurately for a consistent mix.
