Hydrogum 5 maintains dimensionally stable impressions for five days, making it ideal for temporary crowns and bridges, removable prostheses, study models, and antagonists in fixed and removable prostheses, with a 45-second setting time in the mouth for patient comfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe extra fast setting time positions Hydrogum 5 as a fast-set variant within the Hydrogum 5 range, with the 45-second intraoral setting time providing the rapid set that returns the patient to comfortable bite position quickly after the impression tray is seated, making it the preferred choice for clinicians who prioritize minimal tray-in-mouth time particularly for patients with sensitive gag reflexes or restricted mouth opening that makes extended intraoral impression time uncomfortable. Extra quick 5-second water absorption facilitates fast, easy hand mixing with rapid incorporation of the powder into the water without extended mixing required to achieve a homogeneous, lump-free mix before loading into the impression tray. The thixotropic property of Hydrogum 5 prevents the mixed alginate from flowing or dripping from the loaded impression tray into the patient's throat during intraoral tray placement, maintaining the material in the tray during the insertion maneuver without the material slumping or separating from the tray surface before the tray is fully seated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dustless formula minimizes dust suspension in the environment and limits inhalation exposure during powder dispensing, protecting operator health during the alginate mixing step. Dentists, dental assistants, orthodontists, and prosthodontists who take alginate impressions for study models, opposing arch records, and prosthetic fabrication find Zhermack Hydrogum 5 the dustless thixotropic extra-fast 45-second 5-day-stable 5-year-shelf-life Mangustan-fruit-flavor lilac 1-lb bag dental alginate for their active daily impression program. \n\n\nEach 1 lb bag of Zhermack Hydrogum 5 Dustless Alginate provides the per-bag alginate supply for multiple impression sessions at the standard water-to-powder ratio, with the 1 lb bag format providing a practical per-purchase alginate volume for a practice performing alginate impressions across its daily appointment schedule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHydrogum 5 has a homogenous consistency and a shelf life of up to 5 years, providing an extended per-bag storage duration that supports economical per-bag purchasing without the short shelf-life constraint that some alginates impose on inventory management. The Mangustan fruit flavor and lilac color of the extra fast set format provide a pleasant patient experience during impression taking and identify this format visually at the supply storage area. \n\n\nZhermack Hydrogum 5 works through its alginate polymer chemistry where the alginate powder disperses rapidly in the measured water volume during the 5-second water absorption phase, allowing the clinician to mix a homogeneous alginate gel within the mixing bowl in minimal time before loading the mixed material into the impression tray for intraoral placement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe thixotropic formulation maintains the material in the tray during insertion while the extra fast setting chemistry initiates the rapid crosslinking reaction that sets the alginate to its final gel state at the 45-second intraoral mark. The 5-day dimensional stability provides practitioners the flexibility to pour the model up to 5 days after impression taking. \n\nDental assistants who mix and load alginate for opposing arch impressions and study model impressions at restorative, prosthetic, and orthodontic appointments find the 5-second water absorption and easy mix consistency allow fast per-impression alginate preparation without extended mixing time consuming appointment time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProsthodontists and dental lab technicians who require extended stability between impression taking and model pouring find the 5-day dimensional stability of Hydrogum 5 eliminates the urgency of same-day model pouring that less stable alginates impose.\n\nZhermack Hydrogum 5 Dustless Alginate, Extra Fast Set gives dental practices a thixotropic, dustless, extra fast alginate impression material with 45-second intraoral setting time, 5-second water absorption for easy mixing, 5-day dimensional stability for delayed pouring, Mangustan fruit flavor, lilac color, 5-year shelf life, for study models, prostheses, crowns, bridges, and antagonist impressions, 1 lb bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zhermack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368725807425,"sku":"ZHE-C302070","price":13.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/2525\/5233\/files\/32222_main.webp?v=1770267585","url":"https:\/\/carolinadental.com\/products\/hydrogum-5-alginate-1lb-xfast-set","provider":"Carolina Dental Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
