• Instructions for 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.

• Recommendation: 
  • Zhermack recommends ALGHAMIX II for the best homogenous and bubble-free mixing of the material.

• Cleaning and Disinfection of 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.
