Hydro-Stone

USG Hydro-stone has carved its niche in the realm of gypsum cements. Its dual nature makes it a prime choice for both artists seeking precision and industry professionals demanding durability. Seamlessly blending resilience with adaptability, Hydro-stone offers the best of both worlds.

For optimal results, it's advised to maintain a 32 to 100 water-to-powder mixing ratio. Within a short span of 30 to 45 minutes, it settles firmly, showcasing its robust strength of 10,000 psi. This potency positions it as an essential tool for tasks that require undeniable reliability.

A notable feature is its user-friendly texture. The blend produces a smooth, pliable consistency ideal for precise casting and molding, minimizing the typical concerns of drying-induced cracks.

Furthermore, Hydro-stone is versatile in its compatibility with a diverse range of molds. Customizations, such as coloring or painting, can be executed with ease. Additionally, its moisture-resistant properties ensure longevity, even in more humid environments.
