DENTAL MATERIALS 6 SOLUBLE PLASTER COMPONENTS
•
80% PLASTER OF PARIS o
•
•
•
main component
K2SO4 o
slow setting time and setting expansion
o
0.15% - setting expansion
POTATO STARCH o
Makes the plaster “soluble”
o
Swells when immersed in warm water bath making it easier to be removed
Coloring materials/pigments
*Final setting time of ordinary Plaster of Paris is 20mins *Final setting time of Soluble Plaster is 3-5mins *Initial setting time of Soluble Plaster is 1-3mins WATER – POWDER RATIO OF SOLUBLE PLASTER 50cc – 75cc of water per 100g of soluble plaster COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF SOLUBLE PLASTER 580 (+/-) 290psi or 290 – 870psi SOLUBLE PLASTERS
