Accu-Cast 380-CC (Color-Changing)

We're really excited about this new product. Formulated for hand casting jobs, this color-changing alginate tells you when to put your hands in.

380-CC powder is white. When you add water it changes to a bright bubble-gum pink.

If you're using 80°F water, the pink will fade to white at about 2 minutes 15 seconds. That's when you need to put your hands in.

The alginate should be set (dry on the surface) at 3 minutes and you can take your hands out at 3 minutes 30 seconds.

380-CC is our "GO TO" alginate when working with babies and children. With 95°F water, it will fade at ~1:35 and set (dry surface) at ~2:15, with hands "out" at ~2:45. By the time the alginate is mixed, the temperature has dropped to between 90° and 92°F- which is the same as baby skin temperature. (Much easier to work with the baby when they're not overly distracted by the alginate.)

Best when mixed at water/powder ratios between 4:1 and 5:1 (by weight), or about 1:1 by volume. (Thinner mixes take a little longer to set, aren't quite as strong when set and shrink a little faster.)

Mixes smooth and creamy, sets rubbery and strong. Easy to get your hands out of. Stone models come out smooth and detailed.
