first.
Transfer the material to the fresh surface of the mixing pad.
Water, saliva, and blood affect polysulfide material.
Impression should be removed quickly after setting-do not rock
the tray.
Adhesive must be thin and dry before adding the impression
material.
Wait 20 to 30 minutes before pouring the impression for the
stress relaxation to occur in the material.
Be careful of glove powder contamination of the impression.
PROPERTIES
Advantages:
Accurate if poured without delay (maximum storage time
is 48 hours)
Long working time (multiple preparations cases)
Excellent tear resistance (high tensile strain before
tearing)
It has good flexibility (7%) and low hardness. A 2 mm
spacing in the tray is sufficient for making an impression.
It can be electroplated.
The shelf life is good (2 years).
PROPERTIES
Disadvantages:
Unpleasant odor and color. Is messy to work with as these
materials are extremely viscous and sticky. mixing is
difficult. The mixing time is 45 seconds.
It has a long setting time of 12.5 minutes (at 37C). In
colder climates setting can take as long as 16 minutes. This
adds to the patient's discomfort.
curing shrinkage is high (0.45%) and continues
even after setting has the highest permanent deformation
(3 to 5%) among the elastomers. Elastic recovery improves
with time and so pouring of the
model should be delayed by half an hour. Further delay is
avoided to minimize curing shrinkage.
Condensation silicones
Chemical makeup:
Base paste: polydimethyl siloxane + filler (metal
oxide) 35-75% + coloring agent
Reactor paste:
Catalysts: Stannous octate
Cross-linking agent: Orthoethyl silicate
Setting Reaction
A codensation polymerization(exothermic) reaction
occurs ---leading to crosslinkage between Orthoethyl
silicate and the terminal hydroxy group of dimethyl
siloxane to form three dimensional network.
Stannous octate
Tray adhesive
The adhesive for silicones contain poly (dimethyl
siloxane)(bonds with the rubber) and ethyl silicate
(create a physical bond with the tray).
PROPERTIES
Advantages:
Pleasant color and odor. Although nontoxic, direct
skin contact should be avoided to prevent any
allergic reactions.
Setting time is 6 to 9 minutes. Mixing time is 45
seconds.
Excellent reproduction of surface details.
Can be plated with silver/copper. Silver-plating is
preferred.
PROPERTIES
Disadvantages:
Dimensional stability is comparatively less because of
Disadvantages:
It is hydrophobic. The field should be well-dried
Supplied as:
Cartridge form with automixing tips For use with a
dispensing gun.
Putty jars Two equal sized plastic jarscontaining
the base and catalyst
A larger electric driven autodispenser and mixing
device is also available(PentamixESPE). This
machine stores larger quantities. At the press of the
button, it dispenses and mixes the material.

Fillers
Setting Reaction
It is an addition reaction. In this case, the base polymer is
terminated with vinyl groups and is crosslinked with silane
(hydride groups). The reaction is activated by the platinum
salt.

to absorb H2 nb sulfer retard setting reaction contamination can
occur from latex gloves so use vinyl gloves.
PROPERTIES
Advantages:
Pleasant odor and color.
Excellent reproduction of surface details.
Setting time ranges from 5 to 9 minutes. Mixing time is 45 seconds.
It has the best dimensional stability among the elastomers. It has a
PROPERTIES
Disadvantages:
This may also cause allergic reaction so direct skin contact
should be avoided.
It is extremely hydrophobic, so similar care should be taken
while making the impression and pouring the wet stone.
Some manufacturers add a surfactant (detergent) to make it
more hydrophilic.
It has low flexibility and is harder than polysulfides. Extra
spacing (3 mm) should be provided in the impression tray.
Care should also be taken while
removing the stone cast from the impression to avoid any
breakage.

Pouring of the model can be delayed up to 7 to 10
days.
Stiffness of the material makes removal of the tray
difficult.

COMPOSITION
Base:
Polyether polymer
Colloidal silica --------filler
Glycolether or phthalate-------plasticizer
Accelerator Paste:
Aromatic sulfonate ester ----cross-linking agent
Colloidal silica -----------filler
Phthalate or glycolether------plasticizer
SETTING REACTION
It is cured by the reaction between aziridine rings which are at the
end of branched polyether molecule.
Crosslinking is brought about by the aromatic sulfonate ester via
the imine end groups. The reaction is exothermic (4 to 5C).
PROPERTIES
Advantages:
Pleasant odor and taste.
Dimensional stability is very good. Curing shrinkage is low
(0.24%)permanent deformation is also low (0.8 to 1.6%). However,
polyethers absorb water and can change dimension. Therefore
prolonged storage in humid climates is not recommended.
Tear strength is good (3000 gm/cm).
It is hydrophilic, so moisture in the impression field is not so critical
the best compatibility with stone among the elastomers.
It can be electroplated with silver or copper.
The shelf life is excellent more than 2 years.
It has excellent detail reproduction (20 micron).
PROPERTIES
Disadvantages:
The sulfonic ester can cause skin reactions. Thorough mixing is

Impressions can be made in custom or stock trays.
Elastomers do not adhere well to the tray. An
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The spacing given is between 2 to 4 mm.
INFECTION CONTROL
Rubber impression materials are disinfected by
immersing in disinfectant solutions. 10 minutes in 2%
glutaraldehyde or 3 minutes in chlorine dioxide
solutions have been found to be satisfactory. Because
of its tendency to absorb water, a spray of chlorine
dioxide is preferred in case of polyether. Other disin
fectants used are phenol and iodophor.
