Solmetex: PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner

Eco-friendly with a neutral pH, PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner offers advanced vacuum line disinfection that prolongs the life of your NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator

While dentistry is certainly not a “green” profession by design, there are countless ways to lessen the impact that dental treatment has on the environment. Taking digital x-rays, ditching paper files and stocking reusable products are a great start, along with proper disposal of amalgam waste generated during patient care.

Safe Amalgam Disposal—Simplified

Dental offices are no strangers to the EPA’s Dental Amalgam Rule, which mandates the use of an amalgam separator and amalgam bucket to dispose of all items that come in contact with amalgam. Harold Biller, DDS, MAGD, uses the NXT Hg5 series of amalgam separators in his office. “The process of changing the canister and shipping it back to Solmetex is extremely easy," he explained. "They include a step-by-step instruction sheet that is very easy to follow, and the box that the replacement canister comes in is actually the return shipping box."

Clean Smarter, Not Harder

Another key aspect of the EPA Dental Amalgam Rule is for practices to use a vacuum line cleaner with a neutral pH between 6 and 8. With these guidelines in mind, Solmetex created PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner, a pH-neutral cleaner that eliminates debris in vacuum lines while extending the warranty of the NXT Hg5 series amalgam separators to 5 years. Powered by SmartScrub Technology, PowerScrub uses a highly oxygenated microbial bacterial formula that dissolves harmful particles on contact. The formula remains in vacuum lines overnight for continual cleaning action and rinses clean when the job is complete. Compatible with both dry and wet ring vacuums, as well as all amalgam separators, PowerScrub uses no harsh chemicals—making it safe for dental professionals, patients, and the environment.
