Kettenbach to Introduce Silginat® Alginate Alternative
to U.S. Market During 2008 ADA Show
 
Huntington Beach, CA – October 6, 2008 – A new alginate alternative impression material from Kettenbach LP will be introduced to the U.S. dental market next week in Texas.
 
Kettenbach LP will launch Silginat®, a medium-bodied viscosity, polyvinyl siloxane impression material, during the 2008 American Dental Association Annual Session in San Antonio, TX.
 
Silginat® is designed for a variety of indications such as: anatomical models, opposing models, fabrication of temporary crown and bridges, fabricating simple removable prosthetic restorations, orthodontic appliances, splints and case study models, or for most purposes where an alginate could be used.
 
Silginat® was designed with a low-tear resistance to avoid dislodging restorations or orthodontic appliance inadvertently.  The material also has a high dimensional stability so model impressions can be kept for weeks and poured multiple times.  Silginat® is also highly thixotropic and flows properly under pressure.
 
Silginat® is available in two delivery systems – 362-mL foil bags for Kettenbach’s Plug & Press® automatic dispenser (5:1 ratio); and 38-mL cartridges (1:1 ratio) with an optimal volume for a single full-arch or two quadrant impressions.  The total set time for Silginat®, when dispensed in cartridges, is 2 minutes, 30 seconds.  When Silginat® is dispensed in foil bags, it has a total set time of 3 minutes.
 
The 2008 American Dental Association Annual Session will take place October 16-18, 2008 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, TX.  Kettenbach LP will be located at Booth #1870.
