IM200 Impressional molding powder with 2 minutes set time

Product parameters:
Mixing ratio: 1:1 by weight ( one part of powder mixed with one part of water. e.g. 100gram powder and 100gram water ) 
Set time: 2 minutes (set starts as soon as water is mixed in). Set time is calculated from the time of mixing water to the mixture solidified. 
Gel time: 0.5 minutes (gel time is from the mixing water to gelation). You must finish mixing and insert body parts into the mixture before gel time.
Grade: food grade
Color: white to off white

Note: this product is developed because there could be demand for a very fast curing alginate molding. When I copy the body parts of my own baby, I realize its necessary to make the alginate molding cure as fast as possible. Adults can hold the posture for a while but baby doesnot know to do so. Baby moves whenever it wants to. The product is also compatible with warm water. Please use common sense, always use warm water not hot water. The working time is only 0.5minutes, so you would need to do a few practice to get use to this extreme speed. Curing time is 2 minutes, which means you can carefully pull the body parts out of the mold after 2 minutes. But of course, the longer you wait, the stronger the mold will be. If you could wait more than 2 minutes, I suggest you do so. The other good part of that is the weight mixing ratio is 1:1. Even better, the volume mixing ratio is 1:1 as well. so if you donot have a kitchen scale at home, you can still use the product: pour powder and water into two separate cups about the same level, then mix them together. 

Instruction: 
  1. Weight powder on scales
  2. Mix equal weight amount of water to powder (1 to 1 mixing by weight)
  3. Stir well (but donot spend too much time)
  4. Insert body parts or prototypes into the mixture
  5. Wait till the mixture solidifies. Its better to wait a bit extra time to ensure the solid is strong enough
  6. Wiggle the body parts and gently remove them from the mold
  7. Use the mold as soon as possible. This alginate impression powder is more dimensionally stable than any others on the market. However, shrinkage is still expected over days as all alginate mold. You can minimize the shrinkage by keeping the mold in sealed container. This mold is intended for one time use. However, its stronger than any other alginate mold on the market, you might be able to use it multiple times if care is taken.




As all Eparency products, this Eparency Alginate moulding powder is developed and made in Australia. And we can beat any prices of the Alginate moulding powder from legit business which paying Australian taxes. We can even match the price with these alginate powder made in China. Its sad to think that Australia has to import everything from oversea including this alginate powder. Eparency makes it here and be able to match their price, and even make a profit with their price.  and good thing is we can make 20 tons and deliver to you by next week. and we can make it cure faster or slower depending on your need. Eparency can make it thinner or thicker, stronger or weaker(easier to break the mould to access the cast). Thats the benefit of making stuff in Australia, we keep the profit and the knowledge here. We can keep improving the product and train young people with the knowledge.

This is a disposable moulding material so you will end up using larger quantity than silicone. That’s why we supply the product in bulk. If you can pick up from our outlet in Boronia, Victoria, the price would be even cheaper. Simply contact our sales via messenger or email, we can get a better pick up price for you. 


All ingredients in the Alginate moulding powder are food grade and conform to Australia standards. It is suitable to mould body parts and designed for skin touch. Alginate mould is not designed for multiple use. As it contains large amount of water, the mould is not suitable for epoxy casting. It’s designed for castmonite casting and plaster casting, etc. Alginate mold is not suitable for multiple use. Its not dimentional stable and will leach water over time. Its better to use it as soon as possible to avoid shrinkage. The gypsum or castmonite cast would be wet inside the mold. Once you demold the cast and let it dry, the cast will gain its strength.

Tips of successful moulding:
Prepare everything before mixing with water 
Mixing the correct amount of water 
Mix thoroughly but donot spend too much time mixing as the curing is happening during the mixing process
Timing is important as the moulding powder is designed to cure quick
In any case you would like to get slower or faster curing, contact us and our chemist can custom made it for you.
