Alginate is considered a safe life casting material that can be used on the model’s body parts to capture molds. However, many traditional alginates available in the market contain crystalline silica that is a known carcinogen. This is best avoided, especially when working with babies.
EnvironMolds, a leading supplier of life casting materials, supplies and equipment offers silica-free alginate formulas that are safe for both the model and the artist. Silica free alginates are made with food grade ingredients and do not contain fluoride or lead either. The formula is gentle and sets softly further making it ideal for using on babies and small children.
This is a green formula that does not harm the environment either. You can dispose alginate molds directly in the soil or in a compost pile as the food grade ingredients will directly nurture the soil and plants.
That’s not all either. The silica free alginate mixes easily to form a creamy consistency and proves successful at capturing superior details.
And the beneficial advantages do not come at a higher price either. In fact, silica-free alginate proves to be the most economical product in the market. With a mix-ratio of 1 part powder to 7 parts water, it yields much more material than other traditional formulas.
So, go ahead and use silica-free alginate for making molds of a baby’s hands or an adult body without the fear of harming the model or even the ecosystem in any manner!
