The Alginate Impression Material Universal Type is a premium hydrocolloid alginate powder derived from natural seaweed, engineered for dental practices and 3D mold casting. Its chromatic formula (multi – color options, default green) and dust – free design ensure clean handling, while the 20μm detail reproduction and 97% elastic recovery deliver clinic – grade precision for dentures, crowns, and orthodontic models.
Product Highlights:
- Dust – Free & Chromatic: Multi – color fluffy powder (green/yellow/blue) with no airborne dust, reducing cross – contamination risks.
- Fast & Uniform Mixing: 30 – second water – soluble blend (10g:22ml for dental, 100g:300ml for 3D casting) for smooth, bubble – free impressions.
- Precision Detail Capture: 20μm detail reproduction preserves gingival margins and tooth textures for accurate prosthetics.
- Optimized Working Time: 90s total working time + 60s mouth setting for efficient clinical workflows.

Technical Advantages:
- Dual – Use Formulation: Optimized for both dental impressions (10g:22ml) and 3D mold casting (100g:300ml), eliminating the need for separate materials.
- Chromatic Quality Control: Color changes during mixing/setting allow visual verification of proper blend and cure, reducing retake risks.
- Humidity Resistance: Low moisture absorption (≤0.5% over 12 months) ensures powder stability in clinical storage conditions.
Application Scenarios:
- Dental Prosthetics: Full/partial dentures, crowns, bridges—captures gingival contours for natural – fitting restorations.
- Orthodontics: Preliminary models for braces/aligners, ensuring accurate tooth positioning and arch form.
- 3D Anatomical Modeling: Basic molds of dental/oral structures for educational or diagnostic purposes (e.g., patient education models).
- Pediatric Dentistry: Fast – setting (60s mouth time) and chromatic appeal reduce anxiety in young patients.
Instructions for Use:
- Water Preparation: Measure 22ml (dental) or 300ml (3D casting) of 23°C water into a clean bowl.
- Mixing: Gradually add 10g/100g powder, stirring vigorously for 30 seconds until uniform (no lumps).
- Loading: Pour mixed material into a rigid tray within 15 seconds of mixing to maintain workability.
- Setting: Seat the tray in the mouth, hold for 60 seconds (or follow 3D casting cure times).
- Removal: Gently detach the impression; inspect for 20μm detail clarity (e.g., gingival sulcus definition).
Cautions:
- Avoid contact with eyes/skin—rinse with water for 15 minutes if exposed.
- Do not use expired material (3 – year shelf life) or damaged packaging.
- Store unused powder in sealed containers to prevent humidity – induced clumping.
Storage
- Maintain sealed containers at ≤25°C and ≤50% humidity.
- Avoid direct sunlight to preserve color stability and shelf life.
- Opened packages should be used within 6 months and stored in a dry environment.
Technical FAQ
Q1: Can tap water be used for mixing?
A1: Yes, tap water at 23°C is suitable; distilled water is recommended for critical cases.
Q2: How does the chromatic feature aid in quality control?
A2: The powder shifts to a uniform hue when properly mixed and fades as it sets, signaling readiness for removal.
Q3: Why is the 3D casting ratio (100g:300ml) different?
A3: The higher powder ratio increases density, ensuring sturdier molds for educational or diagnostic models.
Q4: Does humidity affect shelf life?
A4: Unopened containers maintain 3-year shelf life; opened containers should be sealed to avoid moisture degradation.
Q5: Is this material compatible with digital scanning?
A5: Yes, its dimensional stability (≤0.15% shrinkage) supports direct scanning for CAD/CAM workflows.
Order FAQ
Q1: What is the minimum order quantity?
A1: 24 units (500g bag); bulk discounts apply to orders over 504 units.
Q2: Can custom colors be ordered?
A2: Yes, custom colors are available with a minimum order of 50 units (non-standard hues).
Q3: How is the product packaged?
A3: Available in 500g sealed foil pouches with mixing spoons or 1kg bulk containers (contact for options).
Q4: What is the lead time for orders?
A4: In-stock items ship within 1–2 days; custom color orders require 5–7 business days.
Q5: Can I request a sample before purchasing in bulk?
A5: Yes, request a 50g sample kit via our Contact Page to test chromatic and precision features.
