Zhermack Hydrogum 5 Alginate Powder

Hydrogum 5 is an extra-fast setting alginate, with a homogeneous consistency and an accurate reproduction of details. It ensures less stress for the patient, thanks to the time in mouth of only 45 seconds.

Hydrogum 5  is a high-performance scannable alginate with 5 μm detail reproduction and 5 days of dimensional stability. Hydrogum 5 is the Zhermack solution for satisfying the needs of the most demanding practitioners. Its high precision in detail reproduction, which is similar to that of a silicone, helps to obtain accurate impressions. In addition, its high dimensional stability guarantees impression accuracy for up to 120 hours. As it is scannable, Hydrogum 5 facilitates access to digital workflows and improves communications with the dental laboratory, which can directly obtain a digital model (without having to perform the casting phase).
