Polysiloxane (condensation silicone)

This soft to mix, with elastic setting putty is suitable for any clinical situation and is particularly recommended for the single-stage technique.

APPLICATION:

Zetaplus: Polysiloxane for the first impression characterised by initial flow in the working phase and high rigidity after hardening. Recommended for the two stage technique (double impression)

Zetaplus Soft: Polysiloxane for the first impression characterised by initial flow in the working phase and adequate elasticity on removal from the oral cavity. Recommended for the two stage technique (double impression)

Oranwash VL: Low viscosity, extremely fluid, hydrocompatible, polysiloxane. Recommended for the two stage technique (double impression)

Oranwash L: Low viscosity, extremely fluid, hydrocompatible, polysiloxane. Recommended for the two stage technique (double impression)

Thixoflex M: Low viscosity, thixotropic, hydrocompatible, polysiloxane. It does not drip when injected directly onto the preparation, yet flows easily. Recommended for the two stage technique (double impression) and a single phase (simultaneous) and for the relining of removable prosthesis.

Characteristics

• High initial flowability and excellent rigidity after hardening for the putties
• Thixotropy for the washes
• High tear resistance

Advantages

• Excellent relation between rigidity and elasticity
• Ideal working time/setting time ratio
• High flowability and accuracy of wash materials
• Putty and wash materials with the same catalyst
