ETCHING GEL

Solo Etch is a 37% aqueous phosphoric acid etchant designed to deliver a high quality "etch" to enamel surfaces for bonding to composite and resin restorations.

The etch gel produces micromechanical interlock for the keying of resin based cements and restoratives. The gel is thixotropic meaning it can be accurately placed on the area to be treated without risk of spreading. The bright green colour clearly shows the clinician where the etchant is placed and also useful when it comes to washing off the product.

Optimum viscosity for easy extrusion with thixotropic non-drip effect.

Indicated for Class 1 to V restorations, fissure sealants, orthodontic appliances and resin bonded ceramic or acrylic veneers.

Bright blue colour for precise placement.

PRODUCT INDICATIONS

For bonding composites and compomers to enamel, dentine and metal.
