Precautions

After opening the bag, reseal it tightly or place it in an airtight container.

Use one bag at a time, and keep unused bags sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

For best results, use Type 3 or Type 4 gypsum compliant with ISO 6873.

Pour the gypsum immediately after taking the impression.

If immediate pouring is not possible, store the impression in a humid environment to prevent distortion.

Suitable disinfectants may include glutaraldehyde, hypochlorite, or iodophor.

Setting time may vary depending on water temperature and room temperature.

Higher temperatures shorten the setting time.

Hard water, such as tap water, may also shorten the setting time.

The color-changing time is affected by temperature in the same way.

This product is not recommended for individuals who are sensitive to alginate odor or who have oral ulcers.

Avoid inhaling dust during use.

If the material comes into contact with the eyes, rinse with clean water for several minutes.

If symptoms persist, consult an eye doctor.

Do not swallow.

If swallowed and symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Accessories are not included.

Mixing spatula, mixing bowl, measuring cup, syringe, and dental tray should be prepared separately by the user.
