Accu-Cast 680-LS - - - - (Green)

This is one of our classic face and head casting alginates.

The great thing about 680 is its gradual set. This gives the operator plenty of time to embed the cotton or plaster bandage squares into the surface of the alginate during a face, head or torso cast.

  • We have eliminated 90% of the "SLUMP" of this alginate. Now when you apply 680-LS, it STAYS WHERE YOU PUT IT.
  • Easy to mix, Easy to Apply but doesn't run like everybody else's alginate.
  • Saves you money because you're not losing most of your alginate onto the model's lap.
  • Saves you time, because you're not spending time trying to "catch" the alginate as it drips off the face.
  • It minimizes thin and thick spots so common in layup molds.
  • We recommend just 4 ounces of alginate mixed with 14 ounces of water for a face cast. Most of our competitors recommend a full pound.

680 sets in 6 minutes when you use 80°F water. As always, cooler water will slow the set. It sets gradually, but will end up firm and flexible, even when mixed thin.

For face, head and torso casting, we recommend a 3.75:1 (by weight) mixing ratio. Coincidentally this turns out to be almost exactly a 1:1 ratio by volume. If you want to weigh it out (the best method), use a little less than 2 quarts of water (60 fl. oz.) for each pound of 680-LS. Can be mixed thicker or thinner as the need arises.

The use of warm water (80°F) makes it comfortable for the subject.
