For over 60 years, LASCOD has been researching innovative solutions to earn the dental world’s recognition as a
leader. Today, once more we are changing the set boundaries of the process of natural evolution with new know-how
and technological applications. A clear example of this approach was certainly the invention of Kromopan, the first

the basis of our company philosophy as well as of the impression material history.
The alginate research and manufacturing know-how developed over more than half a century are at the basis of many
innovative new products such as Personal Krono the only alginate working time regulator able to further increase
LASCOD alginates ease of use. Today, the LASCOD's alginate product portfolio has been extended with the introduction
of new products such as Alginelle (a non- color changing very accurate alginate), Alginor (a specific alginate for
Orthodontists job) and Millenium the first and unique alginate able to reach 15 micron of accuracy.
