Outstanding precision and accuracy of impression
Variotime yields outstanding precision and accuracy of impression by balance of its clinically relevant, high level physical properties, such as detail reproduction, hydrophilic properties, flow characteristics and dimensional accuracy.

Discover greater handling freedom – variable time concept
Variotime allows for easy, efficient and customizable working thanks to an innovative, variable setting time concept, a compact allrounder system set-up and the Dynamix automatic mixing.

Variotime’s variable and intelligent time concept features a variable working time varying from 1:00 – 2:30 min combined with an always short intraoral setting time of 2:30 min.

 

More leeway with starting the setting time – Variotime controls the polymerisation kinetics by mouth temperature and sets rapidly after insertion into the mouth.

With Variotime the dentist is in charge of the working process and can customize it to suit individual requirements – for efficient and stress-free impression taking. The short intraoral setting time is very convenient for the patient and time-saving in the treatment as well. Variotime includes materials for a wide range of indications and covers all the dentist’s needs. Choose your one.

 

Variotime is available in different viscosities:

  • Easy Putty
  • Monophase
  • Medium Flow
  • Light Flow
  • Bite

Variotime’s wide range of indications:

  • Crowns & Bridges
  • Inlay & Onlay
  • Transfer- / implantation impression
  • Functional impression
PROVIL/A-SILICONES

a class of its own!

  • High precision impressions (<0.1 µm)
    Due to the special material properties of Provil novo, it can be used to replicate surfaces with such precision that deviations are kept lower than 0.1 μm. This means that in metallography, for example, the structures of etched microstructure surfaces can be replicated with the utmost precision. The impression can be used to make a mould by using suitable polymers, such as Technovit 3040, to obtain a second positive, without any loss of quality.

  • Optimum level of resilience for use on complicated geometric objects with undercuts
    Due to its excellent resilience, Provil novo makes it possible to take impressions of difficult areas and to measure these after the impression has been taken. These advantages are used, for example, to measure the rate of wear of cavities in tools and machine components, without having to use costintensive techniques. Perfect results thanks to easy application methods

  • Faultless working due to extremely simple application
    The self-mixing cartouche system excludes faulty dosing. The kneadable products come with colour coded spoons and products in order to avoid confusion.

  • Ready for application within a few seconds due to the easy mixing procedure
    No special previous knowledge required for application. In comparison to other methods, Provil novo is very advantageous for use in places that are difficult to get to or for work performed overhead. Provil novo can be removed easily from the sample object without leaving any residues.

  • Cost efficient method
    Users of Provil novo do not need to invest in special training or application devices. The competitive price of the consumables and the short time required for its application make it easy to decide for Provil novo!

  • No hazardous substances / no health or safety risks

  • Does not develop any temperatures when curing
OPTOSIL/XANTOPREN C-SILICONES

Optosil® and Xantopren® have been successful for over 4 decades, which is due to their high reliability and variable options in processing. With Xantopren Comfort Heraeus Kulzer is the first to offer the quality properties of C-silicones in an automatic cartridge system. Optosil Comfort and Xantopren Comfort combine the advantages of A-silicones and C-silicones with the hydrophilic properties of polyether in a single system.

ALGINOPLAST
  • Dust free
  • Firm mixing consistency
  • Neutral taste
  • Fast set
  • Optimum detail definition and plaster compatibility
