About separating films
A tinfoil substitute is a sodium alginate solution that reacts with the calcium in the gypsum cast to form calcium alginate, an insoluble film. That film acts as a barrier between the polymerising resin and the moisture and salts of the gypsum. The shelf carries film-forming liquids of this kind and pure tin foil.
A separating medium is a coating applied to a surface to prevent a second surface from adhering to it. It is also the material applied, usually on an impression, so that the cast comes away cleanly.
How the types of separating agent differ
- Separating liquids and mold release agents — A liquid or spray coating.
- Separating film — Forms a film on the gypsum, between the cast and the denture resin.
- Debubblizers — Helps the next material wet the surface, where a separator keeps it from sticking.
What to look at when choosing a separating agent
Which two materials meet: the agents here are made for particular pairs, such as resin against gypsum or wax against stone.
Film or space: a die spacer, or die relief, is a different thing from a separator; it is applied to a die to leave room for the cement in the finished casting.
Safety data sheet: OSHA requires a safety data sheet in the workplace for each hazardous chemical in use, and the maker or importer has to supply one. Labels on incoming containers of hazardous chemicals are not to be removed or defaced.
