    Alghamix simplifies the preparation of impression materials such as alginates and C-silicones.

    EATONTOWN, New Jersey--Zhermack Inc., a leading producer of impression materials for dental clinicians and high-tech solutions for dental laboratories, has launched Alghamix, an ergonomically designed and easy-to-use multifunctional materials mixer.

    Alghamix utilizes advanced technology to simplify the preparation of impression materials such as alginates and C-silicones. The unit's uniform mixing capability optimizes the setting reaction of impressions, thus speeding up setting times.
