AFFINIS is a silicone-based impression material for use in dentistry with automatic mixing device.
AFFINIS wash materials wet the tooth and gingiva extremely quickly and effectively. Its hydrocolloid-like property ensure that the wash
material flows into the narrowest areas without applying pressure. AFFINIS has a very low contact angle thanks to its structure-breaking
property of the surfactant agent. The mixed material provides adequate stability and does not drip from the tooth.
Material Type
Polyvinylsiloxane, addition-type silicone elastomer.
light body / fast light body
low viscosity
Base: light green / Catalyst: white
ISO 4823, Type 3, low consistency
regular body / fast regular body
medium viscosity
Base: light blue / Catalyst: white
ISO 4823, Type 2, medium consistency
Indications
Wash material for the putty-wash impression technique
Syringe material for the simultaneous mixing technique
Impression material for relining
Important
Check intraorally if the material is completely set before removing.
High temperatures will speed up the setting process and low temperatures will slow it down.
For extended working time, material can be placed in the refrigerator prior to use.
Side effects / Interactions
Polyvinylsiloxanes have a very good biological compatibility and up to now no harmful reactions
or secondary 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 recommended setting 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 certain instances, be blocked out before taking the impression.
Trays
Tray selection depends on impression technique and professional preference of stock trays or custom
trays. For perfect adhesion, we recommend applying a thin layer of Coltène® Adhesive or any
other brand of adhesive specified for use with polyvinylsiloxane impression materials.
