Freealgin
Request productFreealgin is a medium viscosity addition silicone, used in substitution of traditional alginates for preliminary impression taking.
One of its advantages is its high dimensional stability (superior to alginates), which ensures flexibility in the impression casting times and greater accuracy.
Greater elasticity, a better recovery from deformation and a higher tear resistance also complement its characteristics.
For automatic mixing, the packaging is also available in a 5:1 ratio, which is quick and convenient.
