Description
Product Overview
The Alginot Alginate Alternative Vinylpolysiloxane kit, manufactured by Kerr, is engineered for dental professionals who demand rapid setting times, dimensional stability, and ease of use. Each introductory package contains six 50 ml cartridges, twelve precision mixing tips, and a detailed technique card that guides users through every step of the impression process. The formulation combines the elasticity of traditional alginates with the superior tear resistance of vinylpolysiloxane, delivering a hybrid material that captures fine oral anatomy while maintaining a smooth, tear‑free removal.
Designed with a fast‑set polymerization system, the material reaches a usable gel state within seconds, allowing clinicians to work efficiently in busy practice environments. The cartridge‑based delivery eliminates the need for manual mixing, reducing waste and minimizing the risk of contamination. Each cartridge is sealed to protect the material from moisture and airborne particles, ensuring consistent performance from the first use to the last.
Beyond its rapid setting capability, the kit offers exceptional dimensional stability. Impressions retain their accuracy for months, giving dental labs the flexibility to schedule work at their convenience without compromising fit. The material also tolerates a wide range of disinfectants, addressing infection control concerns and simplifying post‑procedure protocols. This combination of speed, stability, and disinfectant tolerance makes the Alginot kit a reliable choice for both routine and complex restorative cases.
Usage
The Alginot kit is suited for a variety of clinical scenarios, including crown and bridge impressions, orthodontic models, and complete denture fittings. Its fast‑set nature is particularly advantageous in situations where patient comfort and chair‑time reduction are priorities. By eliminating hand mixing, the kit reduces the potential for operator error, ensuring that each impression captures the intended detail with minimal variability.
Clinicians can dispense the material directly from the cartridge using the included mixing tips, which automatically blend the base and catalyst in the correct ratio. This automix system streamlines the workflow, allowing the practitioner to focus on patient interaction rather than preparation. After the material sets, the impression can be poured immediately with gypsum or stored for later casting, thanks to its long‑term dimensional stability.
Because the formulation tolerates common disinfectants, dental offices can follow standard infection control protocols without fearing material degradation. The technique card provides step‑by‑step instructions, making the kit accessible to both seasoned professionals and newer practitioners seeking a reliable, low‑maintenance impression solution.

FAQ
What makes Alginot different from traditional alginate?
Alginot combines the familiar handling characteristics of alginate with the superior tear resistance and stability of vinylpolysiloxane. This hybrid formulation provides a faster set time while maintaining the ability to capture fine detail, and it remains stable for extended periods, unlike standard alginate which can distort over time.
Can I use standard disinfectants on the impression?
Yes. The material is formulated to tolerate common dental disinfectants such as glutaraldehyde and chlorhexidine. This compatibility allows you to follow your office’s infection control protocols without compromising the integrity of the impression.
Is the kit suitable for both simple and complex cases?
Absolutely. The fast‑set nature and precise automix delivery make it ideal for routine crown‑and‑bridge work, while the material’s high tear strength and stability support more demanding applications like full‑arch prosthetics and orthodontic models.
How long can I store the impression before pouring?
Thanks to its dimensional stability, the impression can be stored for several months without significant dimensional change. This flexibility allows you to coordinate with your laboratory schedule and reduces the pressure to pour immediately after taking the impression.
What support does Kerr offer if I encounter issues?
Kerr provides a dedicated technical support line, online resources including instructional videos, and a responsive customer service team. If you experience any difficulties, you can contact them for troubleshooting, product guidance, or replacement components as needed.
