Identium^® Heavy

The best of both worlds: A silicone and polyether

Identium^® Heavy

Identium Heavy is a high-viscosity monophasic precision impression material made of Vinylsiloxanether that delivers particularly good results in the double-mix technique thanks to the optimal pressure build-up when combined with Identium Light. It is available in fast-setting and normal-setting versions.

Product is suitable for

Double-mix impressions

Benefits

Identium combines the benefits of two established impression materials (A silicone and polyether) working together in perfect harmony. The unique material Vinylsiloxanether sets the benchmark in the one-step impression technique.

Greatest precision

Perfect flow even with residual moisture enables the preparation margins to be reliably determined.
The short intraoral setting time means there is less chance of deformation during the setting phase.

Greater comfort for user and patient

Easy removal from the mouth thanks to high elasticity
Low risk of breakage when fabricating the model
Neutral taste and smell
Short intraoral setting time
Considerably reduced gag reflex and movement

Time-saving Fast version

After a total of just 3 minutes and 30 seconds, the impression can be removed from the patient’s mouth.

Technical Information

Easy removal from the mouth

Thanks to the elastomeric properties, the impression can be comfortably removed from the patient’s mouth or the plaster model—without unwanted tooth extractions or broken stumps on the plaster model.

Comfortable setting times

The sophisticated material combination of Vinylsiloxanether ensures a long working time and a short setting time.

Incredibly detailed preparation margins

In a moist environment the initial wetting behavior of the impression material plays a major role in the precision. This is measured by the contact angle.

Identium^® Medium

Identium Medium is a medium-viscosity monophasic precision impression material made of Vinylsiloxanether that is particularly well suited to implant impressions thanks to its very high final hardness. It is available as both a normal setting version—Identium Medium—and as a fast setting version—Identium Medium Fast

Identium^® Medium

Identium^® Light

Identium Light is a low-viscosity precision impression material made of Vinylsiloxanether that produces incredibly detailed impressions thanks to its high flowability even into the narrowest of sulci and in extreme situations thanks to its high hydrophilicity. It is available in Identium Light and Identium Light Fast (fast setting) versions.
