Clinical recommendations

The viscosity and elasticity are well balanced. Suitable for daily use in various clinical situations.

Stability of characteristics:
Increased compatibility with gypsum, although it is synthetic.
Thixotropic: does not drip, but slides only when pressed during impression removal.
Elastic: mixtures of irreversible hydrocolloids of different compositions give the alginate structure a precise balance between mechanical strength and elasticity. The dosed granulometric distribution of components ensures fast water absorption, and a more uniform mass and smoother and more compact surfaces - greater clarity of details.

Dimensional stability:
This formula has been optimized to reduce natural shrinkage upon loss of water (syneresis), and can be stored for many hours in a Long Life Bag before casting, undergoing any dimensional changes.

Resistance to disinfection:
When using Sterigum Powder (Zhermack) based on active oxygen, effective and reliable disinfection is provided when the alginate impression is immersed in the solution for only three minutes.

Stability during storage:
Conventional alginates contain air. Oxygen accelerates aging by oxidizing organic components. The innovative system of packaging in the atmosphere with changed parameters involves replacing the air with an inert gas, which significantly increases the shelf life of alginates, fully preserving the technical and organoleptic characteristics of the product.
