Technical Data

Q-Ceram is a single-step Primer material, for surface preparation of ceramic crowns, prior to bonding with resin cements.

Q-Ceram improves cementation of zirconia crowns and does not require additional conditioning such as sandblasting.

Its low viscosity and excellent wetting properties promote ideal surface coverage.

pH 4.0 – 5.0

Shear Bond Strength (SBS) of High-Q-Bond Adhesive Adhesive Resin Cement (HQB ARC) to ceramic surface (Zirconia) pretreated with Q-Ceram – Minimum 10 MPa

Q-Ceram is preferable for Zirconia treatment.

Shelf life: 2 Years
