Description

Ketac Cem Radiopaque is a specialized glass ionomer cement component, recognized for its radiopaque properties essential for dental and medical imaging. This material is critical for creating durable, biocompatible luting and restorative cements that are clearly visible in X-ray diagnostics. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the dental materials, medical device, and advanced biomaterials sectors for producing high-performance, clinically effective products.

Application

• Dental Luting Cements: A key component for permanent cementation of crowns, bridges, inlays, and orthodontic bands.
• Restorative Dentistry: Used in the formulation of tooth-colored, fluoride-releasing filling materials for Class I, III, and V cavities.
• Core Build-up Materials: Provides a stable, radiopaque foundation for subsequent crown placement.
• Endodontic Sealers: Incorporated into sealers for root canal obturation to ensure clear post-operative radiographic assessment.
• Bone Cements and Bone Void Fillers: Utilized in orthopedic and craniofacial applications where radiographic monitoring of the implant site is necessary.
• Medical Adhesives: Serves in formulations for specialized bioadhesives used in non-load bearing surgical applications.

Quality Control

Our Ketac Cem Radiopaque is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent particle size distribution, reactivity, and radiopacity performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your regulatory and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the setting characteristics and shelf life of the final cement.
