Alginate Impression Compound
A rapidly setting material that is supplied in powder form, to be mixed with water. Due to its rapid setting ability & non-toxic nature, it is commonly used in contact with skin to mould body parts. Since the moulding compound is water based, it is best to use plaster as the moulding material to produce the cast. Moulds made with Alginate will rapidly deteriorate & are only suitable for producing one or two casts.
