Alginate Moulding Compound
Alginate is primarily used for making moulds of body parts eg. Hands, Feet, Faces etc. It is very quick setting and will pick up fine detail. It is seaweed based and is non toxic. The dust from alginate (as with any dust) can be a respiratory hazard and precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation
Basic Instructions
Powder/Water Ratio = 1 to 1 ie. 1 cup of Alginate to 1 cup of Cold Water
1) Measure out required quantities
2) Place alginate in a clean dry bowl
3) Add water slowly and begin mixing. Mix vigourously to break down
any lumps. It should have a similar consitency to porridge.
4) Working time is approx 1-2 minutes. You will need to work quickly to
make your mould.
5) When set, you will need to cast plaster into the mould as soon as
possible as your mould will start to break down quickly.
6) When plaster has set remove alginate taking care not to break any
delicate parts.
Chromatic alginate will go purple when mixed, when set it will turn to white.
Notes:
Moulds made from alginate will need to be supported. If taking a mould of a hand this can be done by pouring alginate into a jug or similar vessel and then sink hand into it. Tap to remove any air bubbles. When set alginate is very flexible so you will be able to carefully pull hand out. The jug will provide support. If taking a cast of a face or torso, when the alginate has set, apply a couple of layers of modroc over the top to form the support when
removed.
Alginate will not stick to skin but will grip hair, thoroughly coat any exposed hair with petroleum jelly.
Alginate will bond to fabric. Take care with clothing and furnishings.
When making a face cast ensure subject can breath (straws can be useful for this) and that their eyes are closed. Block nose and earholes with cotton wool and apply petroleum jelly to eye brows and any other exposed facial hair (a swimming cap or similar should be used to cover hair on head) Work from the forehead down, ensuring no air bubbles get trapped
in the corners of the eyes or around the nostrils. Use a lolly stick to work alginate around the nose. When set apply modroc to form support

At present, Nike rank first of the sports brand in the world (by brand value). while among many competitors in the sports brand camp, Nike is only a young man,a latecomer. NIKE brand was established in 1972, havee stablished more than four years. Nike Air Max 2009 And we look at several sports brands ranking before such as Adidas and Puma which have been established in Germany in 1948; UMBRO established in 1924; Converse founded in 1908; Reebok is earlier, established in 1895. Why young NIke global sports brand within less than four years? How to defeat those strong competitors with a long history ? I think there are three magic wand that is most worthy learning.
Nike focuse on technical research and development. In 1972, after Phil Knight and Bowerman invented Nike shoes, and did not immediately have a good effect on the market. Until one Sunday morning in 1975, Bowerman found a kind of iron oxide rubber in the baking waffle mold , then made out a new type of sole. The small round pin on this “waffle” type rubber soles makes Nike more flexible than other popular soles on the market. This seemingly simple product innovation at first maked achievements of the Phil Nike and Bowerman in career. These shoes were greatly welcome to the athletes, thus, with the market conditions turning to better, this shoe sales in 1976 reached $ 14,000,000, whereas before this year the sales of 830 million dollars, in 1972 the sales was only $ 2,000,000 . Precisely because of this origin on the market and the same emphasis of many competitors, make Nike become a brand focused technology research and development. Since then, Nike elaborately
research and develop new products, and many of the products are most innovative and most advanced in the market. Moreover, Nike pay attention to the development of ergonomics and bionics such areas, the design style of these products is often based on different foot type, weight, running speed, training programs, gender and different level of technology. This product is designed more in line with consumer needs, not only function in line with movement,but also safety and comfort more in line with consumer demand, many products can even improve the athlete’s sports performance. Currently, Nike invest yearly 4% of its sales revenue in R & D , which makes Nike sports products in many areas maintain technological superiority, thereby ensuring competitive advantage of its products and brands.
Nike emphasis on the core spirit of the brand building. Nike founder Bill Bowerman once said: “As long as you have a body, you are an athlete. And as long as there are athletes in the world, Nike will continue to grow and develop.” Such Core spirit of brands make Nike sports products focus on the market and service for athlete needs.
Nike focus on learning and reference. Nike started to rely on innovation and large-scale R & D investment to maintain technological leadership. But the real driving force promoting Nike into the forefront of U.S. market is not innovation but not the counterfeit product. When Nike has been growing with a certain amount of time, Nike chosen a model of Adidas as imitation products,as result counterfeiters beatinventor.
