Abstract

In the process disclosed, medical molding materials are treated with an aqueous solution of a disinfectant which contains, in addition, 0.1 to 15 wt.% of a soluble alcohol. This ensures high dimensional stability and good surface quality of the mold, even in the case of critical molding materials as alginates.
