    Our Alginates

    applying-alginate-to-the-torso.jpgYou want it Simple?

    If you're looking for simple and basic, look no further than our 470-SG alginate. It can be mixed to work well for both bucket type molds and layup type molds. Many people feel it works better than our competitors' best alginates at a fraction of the cost.

    Available in 2 sizes: 3 pounds and 20 pounds.

    This is our simplest and least expensive alginate. 

    No Compromises

    Accu-Cast offers alginate formulas specifically tailored for the type of project you want to do. Small Project, Big Project, Bucket Mold, Layup Mold, Beginner or Experienced- we have a formula that will meet your needs.

     Notes:

    1) For the most part, the name of the alginate tells you the setting time and water temperature. 390 sets in 3 minutes when using 90°F water, etc. etc.

    2) If you're a beginner always err on the side of having MORE working time than you think you need. Its always better to have a little extra time than not quite enough.

    3) Warmer water and warmer air temperatures will speed up the setting time of alginates, whereas cooler will slow them down.
