Usage Guidelines

DOSING AND MIXING –
Pour the content in the bag into an airtight container. The container has to be stored at a temperature of 5-27 degrees C/ 41-80 degrees F.
Using the dosing spoon, scoop out the powder into a rubber bowl, level it off by passing a flat spatula over the top of the spoon.
Repeat the process until you have the required quantity.
Measure out 1/3rd of water for every spoonful of powder.
Add the water and mix it according to the time specified in the table below.
Load the material onto the impression tray and insert it into the mouth before the end of the working time.
Wait till the material hardens and loses tackiness. Since Tropicalgin is chromatic, it is easier to identify the complete working phases.
Zhermack recommends ALGHAMIX II for the best homogenous and bubble-free mixing of the material.
Working time: 1 minute 35 seconds
Setting time: 2-4.5 minutes

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE IMPRESSION
Soon after taking the impression, rinse it off carefully to remove any traces of saliva. Drain off the excess water and disinfect immediately. Immerse the impression into a disinfectant solution. Please follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the disinfectants. Pour the impression immediately using dental stones and in case if it is not immediately poured, store the impression in a sealed bag at room temperature.
