Contra-indications
Provided that the product is used as directed, there
are no known contra-indications.
Side effects / Interactions
Polysiloxanes have very good biological compat-
ibility and up to now no harmful reactions or sec-
ondary effects on patients and/or dental personnel
are known. Impression materials are intended to set
in the mouth of the patient, however, they should
remain in the mouth not more than twice the set-
ting time. Although they have reasonably high tear
strength, care should be taken that no portion of
the impression material remains in the interdental
spaces or in the sulcus. Undercuts should, in cer-
tain instances, be blocked out before taking the
impression.
In case of contact of the catalyst with the eyes,
wash out with plenty of water and then consult
the ophthalmologist.
Dosage
Squeeze out equal strand lengths of base material
and catalyst onto mixing pad. Always dose catalyst
first for better results.
Dosage ratio by volume:
Dosage ratio by weight:
Close tube immediately after use!
Mixing
1. Take up one component with spatula and spread
evenly on the other component. Do not mix.
2. First take up half of the mass in one go with the
spatula.
3. Then take up the other half of the mass in the
same way.
4. Using the flat part of the spatula, spread the
mass on the mixing pad, spreading out to right
and left with a little pressure. Repeat steps 2–4
until a uniform shade is achieved.

situ until the material has set completely. Remove
s
restoration and indicate the pressure points with
the enclosed marking pen (= interrupted layer).
Remove material and correct marked surfaces by
grinding. Material residue needs considerably more
time to set at room temperature. You should there-
fore check intraorally if the material is set before
removing from the mouth. Intensive mixing, high
temperatures or overdosage of the catalyst speed
up the setting; low temperatures and underdosage
of the catalyst slow down the setting.
