It’s Time to Put Your EPA Compliance on Autopilot
Covering all 4 components of the EPA Dental Amalgam Rule, the Solmetex Maintenance Program is a simple way to keep your practice compliant with proper handling of amalgam waste
You wouldn’t dream of guessing what the best course of treatment is for your patient—at least not without a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation—so why
leave something like EPA compliance up to chance? For example, the EPA Dental Amalgam Rule mandates the use of an amalgam separator for any office that removes or replaces amalgam restorations, in addition to 3 other key guidelines. Luckily, the Solmetex Maintenance Program has you covered.
The non-contractual, automatic fulfillment program includes all the products and technologies necessary to comply
with the EPA’s ruling on proper handling of amalgam waste. Practices can set up auto-delivery of these solutions—a Collection Container, Practice Waste Solution Amalgam Bucket,and PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner—based on a custom schedule that works best for their needs. The program also includes 24/7 access to the online Solmetex Compliance Center that houses certificates pertaining to installation, recycling history, and product warranties, which local inspectors may request from your office at any time.

Functional for wet or dry vacuum systems, the NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator features a collection container that is clear by design for easy visual inspection. Simple to install, it offers a quick changeout and turnkey mail-back recycling program when solids reach the full line. It comes in 3 sizes to accommodate up to 20 operatories.
Available in 4 sizes, the Practice Waste Solutions Amalgam Bucket fulfills the dry waste requirement of the EPA Dental Rule by recycling leftover or spent amalgam, removed teeth with amalgam fillings, empty amalgam capsules, chairside traps, and vacuum trap containers located by the vacuum pump. Solmetex 
provides a prepaid storage and shipping container and a certificate of recycling for the generator.
Of course, keeping vacuum lines clean and free of debris is also a key to compliance. Recently deemed a DPS Best Product by a team of dental professionals, Solmetex’s PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner uses SmartScrub Technology and an advanced microbial formula for continuous cleaning action that optimizes your collection container capacity. Compatible with both dry and wet ring vacuums and all amalgam separators, PowerScrub has a neutral pH between 6 and 8 as required by the EPA. Additionally, its eco-friendly and biodegradable formula remains in lines overnight for continual cleaning action— rinsing clean when the job is done.
