Coltene AFFINIS 360 System

AFFINIS in the 5:1 Cartridge will fit all commercially available automated mixing machines. The disposable 380ml cartridge is pre-filled and ready to use immediately. With the large volume of material and a minimum amount of waste in the empty cartridge, the delivery system is very economical to put into action. AFFINIS monophase material has outstanding wetting properties in a moist environment and actively displaces moisture. The surface affinity of AFFINIS is comparable to the hydrophilic properties of a polyether or hydrocolloid impression material. The outstanding thixotropy and innovative wetting technology of AFFINIS MonoBody prevents entrapement of air voids and distortions at the gingival margin. The impression is easily removed and a high tear resistance is guaranteed, so that all details are captured even in undercut areas. The high consistency and rapid build up of pressure for AFFINIS heavy body produces strong compression, making this tray material ideal for the one-step putty/wash technique. Buccal and palatal areas can also be easily reproduced with AFFINIS heavy body. AFFINIS light/regular body wash materials wet the tooth and gingiva extremely quickly and effectively. Its hydrocolloid-like property ensure that the wash material flows into the narrowest areas without applying pressure. AFFINIS has a very low contact angle thanks to its structure-breaking property of the surfactant agent. The mixed material provides adequate stability and does not drip from the tooth.
