Imprint 3 VPS Impression Material

Dentists can now have a vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression material that offers the features they need without having to sacrifice one property to get another.

3M ESPE introduces Imprint 3 VPS impression material—a state-of-the-art material that, when compared to leading VPS materials, provides superior hydrophilicity, best-in-class memory and toughness, and excellent tear strength, delivering the best balance of properties that cannot be found in any other leading VPS material. The advanced chemistry and new filler technology of Imprint 3 impression material results in a highly flowable and hydrophilic VPS material. Imprint 3 impression material also boasts superior toughness, a combination of tensile strength and elongation that resists tearing far better than most leading materials. Offering nearly 100% elastic recovery after stretching, the outstanding memory of Imprint 3 impression material means that impressions are less likely to distort on removal, resulting in more accurate impressions for better fitting final restorations. Imprint 3 impression materials are available for easy dispensing in the Pentamix 2 mixing unit or Garant cartridge dispenser, and offer a wide range of viscosities and setting times.
