Sadly I ended up giving this a 1star on last review as I though I was writing it on a review for a laptop order... this alginate is amazing tho and came really quick!! Review: Perfect, Temp is Key!! WATCH video - Filowed the instructions and mixed fine. Also watched a Youtube video which used a mixer - I useds a egg whisk instead, even though it said not to, I mixed intead or beating/whisking it and it blended finein the allotted time. The key is temperatures. 30ºc is perfect, I done 28 just to give me time as it was my first go and didnt want it setting while mixing, it worled for me. Ratio says fill the container.with water, submerge hands in and mark the level. Empty, dry out, then fill with Alginate up to same level, and thats you ratio. A bit spilled out, but not much. Sets quick at the right temperature, was only standing for 3mins, + 1min to make sure. When adding the plaster, make sure you tip the mould side to side a bit when it reaches the top of your fingers to avoid air pockets. Keep hands cloae together and take out any loose mould and little bits, u used my hands, then a hair dryer for the little crumbs before adding in the plaster. Give is a shake (just like baking a cake before you put it in the oven) before leaving the plaster to set. ## Features - Safety data sheet available on request. - Fast Set Chromatic Alginate - safe to use on newborn baby skin - Excellent impression mould-making material - Picks up all of the fine lines and wrinkle details of skin - Commonly used for life casting, i.e. baby hand and foot casts, face masks, pet paw prints etc - Fast Set ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00B9DRVMM | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 47,120 in Home & Kitchen (See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen) 36 in Modeling Compounds | | Colour | White, Pink, White | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,478) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Date First Available | 30 Sept. 2012 | | Guaranteed Software Updates Until | unknown | | Item Model Number | BR100.1 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer Recommended Age | 0 months and up | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 6 x 16 x 12 cm; 500 g | ## Images ![Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 500g Fast Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61G2lwxf3qL.jpg) ![Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 500g Fast Set - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sbi602OAL.jpg) ![Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 500g Fast Set - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718sYVjg+LL.jpg) ![Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 500g Fast Set - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+PfC80tmL.jpg) ![Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 500g Fast Set - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dPfBx4H4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this suitable for taking casts of plasticene sculpts for prosphetics?** A: Hi Erin, Thank you for your enquiry. We supply prosthetics companies with BabyRice Alginate - the alginate is used for making accurate impression moulds (of which casts are then made from the replica impression moulds). I do hope this helps! Kind regards, Emma at BabyRice UK **Q: Would I get a 12yr 4yr and baby all together out of this powder size?** A: Hi Jemma, No, you would not be able make so many mould impressions from this 1 bag of alginate. As a guide, you would be able to make 1 hand mould of your 12 year old and possibly 1 hand or foot mould of your baby with this one bag of alginate. So I would suggest you either purchase 2 bags (we have them on Amazon as 2 bags and they work out cheaper price per bag), or purchase this 1 bag first and see how you get on and what you can make from it. I do hope this helps! Kind regards, Emma at BabyRice. **Q: how much would i need to cast a hand and forearm?** A: Hello there, If you are wanting to cast an adult's hand and forearm, then I suggest you purchase 4 bags of 500g to ensure you have plenty. If you are wanting to cast a small child, then 2 would be enough. You need to use a suitable sized container, one where there is not a lot of space around the hand/forearm, to ensure that the alginate is not wasted by having to fill a large space... I do hope this helps! Kind regards, Emma at BabyRice Ltd **Q: Hi, Can i use this for a mold to be filled with silicone?** A: No you can use this for anything, you will just waist your money, it’s impossible to mix properly and even if you do somehow miraculously manage to mix it, it will be too wet to put silicon in ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended *by D***. on 26 June 2026* Both seller and item are brilliant and can not fault one bit!!!!

For 1kg of alginate I personally used about 3.2 litters. Otherwise pretty good, reveals all details, sets very quickly! It became ROCK SOLID just after 4 minutes or so. I used a bit of oil on my hands to let them slide out a bit better. ## Frequently Bought Together - BabyRice Chromatic (Colour Change) Alginate Impression Moulding Material Powder - just add Water 500g Fast Set - Mouldmaster British Gypsum Fine Casting Plaster 1Kg, White, 20 x 15 x 1 cm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/48080063-chromatic-colour-change-alginate-impression-moulding-material-powder-just-add](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/48080063-chromatic-colour-change-alginate-impression-moulding-material-powder-just-add) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
