Wipe applicator tip before replacing into mix when successive applications are made

Handling Features
Adequate work time on the pad

Flow characteristics for controlled placement
Carveable

Cautions
High temperature and humidity accelerate set time.
Store at ambient conditions.
Keep nozzle clean and replace the cap tightly after use.
When operating under “dry field” conditions (such as rubber dam) and using the acid-etch technique, there may be insufficient
moisture on the cavity floor to effect the set of LIFE as promptly as desired. In such cases, place a small drop of water on the cavity
liner. This will cause the material to set quickly.
Some bonding agents (chemically cured enamel bonding agents, chemically cured dentin/enamel bonding agents and some light
activated dentin/enamel bonding agents) possess a high level of benzoyl peroxide and have the potential to cause discoloration of
LIFE and LIFE FAST SET.
It is recommended that you test materials’ compatibility by placing the bonding agent and/or dentin bonding agent on the surface of a
set LIFE sample (on the mixing pad) to determine systems compatibility.

Work times
Work times on pad: Life Minimum of 3 minutes at 75°F (24°C) and 50% humidity
Life Fast Set Minimum of 2 minutes at 75°F (24°C) and 50% humidity
