Direction of use

Open the bag and pour the alginate into an airtight container
Keep the lot number and expiry date of the product by cutting the relevant details off the bag. Shake 2 or 3 times to disperse the powder then proceed with the mixing. Using the dosing spoon, remove the powder without compressing it, levelling off or removing any excess alginate by passing a flat spatula over the top of the spoon
Pour the powder into a rubber cup. Repeat the operation until the required quantity is reached.
Add 1/3 of a measure of water (18 ml) for every spoonful of powder (9 g). E.g. for 2 measures of powder (18 g), or one impression tray, add 2/3 of a measure of water (36 ml) Close the container and store it at 5-27?C/41-80?F
Add the water to the powder and mix for the times specified in the table
Spread the material over the impression tray and insert into the mouth before the end of the working time
Wait for the material to harden until the end of the recommended time in mouth. In the case of coloured alginates, working time is easily recognised by the colour changes described previously
For the best possible (homogeneous and bubble-free) mixing results, we recommend the use of ALGHAMIX
