Dentsply Zelgan 2002 Alginate Impressioning Material

– The Dentsply Zelgan 2002 Alginate is a dust-free alginate impression material complying with ISO 1563 and EN 21563, respectively
– Dentsply Zelgan 2002 is a irreversible hydrocolloid alginate impression material that can be used to make perfect preliminary dental impressions with excellent reproducibility of the anatomical features of the dental arches
– This quality impression material can be used to make dental impressions to fabricate study models, models of the opposing arch and working models for the fabrication of orthodontic appliances, removable prostheses, and temporary restorations
– The powder has been specially formulated to eliminate dust during mixing
– This aids the clinician to make dental impressions of higher quality. To enhance the adhesion of the impression of the tray, alginate tray adhesive materials may be used.
– Composition:
– Diatomaceous earth
– Potassium alginate
– Calcium sulphate dehydrate
– Polypropylene glycol
– Disodium orthophosphate
– Potassium hexafluorotitanate
– Sodium aluminosilicate
– Magnesium oxide
– Red iron oxide pigment
– Spearmint oil as a flavoring agent
– It is easy to mix and manipulate
– The impressions made from Zelgan 2002 retain accuracy for a considerable amount of time, provided if placed in a humidor maintaining at least 90% relative humidity. However, it is recommended to pour casts immediately or within 48 hours of making the impression.
