Optimal Viscosity


Ultra-Etch etchant is uniquely formulated with ideal viscosity. Though it is viscous, it can penetrate into the smallest fissures or occlusal surfaces due to physical and chemical properties that promote capillary action. Yet, its ideal viscosity maintains a layer thick enough to prevent it from running on vertical surfaces or drying prematurely.

Precise Placement

Ultra-Etch etchant's ideal viscosity, along with the use of the Blue Micro™ or Inspiral™ Brush tip, facilitates precise placement and superior control. Ultra-Etch etchant also rinses clearly and cleanly, leaving no residue.

Self-limiting

Ultra-Etch etchant is proven to be uniquely self-limiting in its depth of etch, with an average depth of 1.9 ?m with 15-second etch. In a study comparing etchants, liquid phosphoric acid (37%) showed an average depth of 5.0 ?m at 20 seconds, and a competing “polymer-thickened” etchant showed an average depth of 4.8 ?m.2 Acids with this greater depth of etch go beyond the optimum level and increase the potential for incomplete resin impregnation.

Industry Leader for More Than 30 Years

Ultra-Etch etchant is perfect for any restoration in any part of the mouth. It has been named a “Can’t Live Without” product, called “Tried & True,” and has been a Reality’s Choice 5-star award winner for years on end.
