Clinical Overview
Condac Porcelana 10% is a low-viscosity hydrofluoric acid gel containing 10% HF, formulated specifically for the etching of dental porcelain restorations—such as veneers, crowns, and ceramic inlays. The red dye enhances visual control during application, while the thixotropic, water-soluble consistency ensures safe, localized etching without runoff.
Key Benefits
- Low viscosity & thixotropic gel: Maintains placement without running, even on inclined surfaces.
- Color-coded visibility: Red dye improves application control and accuracy.
- Water-soluble & easy removal: Rinses cleanly without residue.
- Optimized adhesion: Effectively increases bond strength between resin cement and porcelain ceramics.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 2.5 mL syringe of 10% hydrofluoric acid gel
- 1 × disposable applicator tip for precise placement
Working & Setting Times
- Application protocol: Apply Condac Porcelana to the internal porcelain surface for the duration specified by the ceramic manufacturer (typically 60–90 seconds).
- Removal: Thorough water rinse followed by gentle air-drying—no etchant remains.
Indications
- Surface etching of dental porcelain and ceramic restorations (e.g. feldspathic, lithium disilicate) prior to bonding procedures.
- Preparing veneers, crowns, inlays/onlays, and ceramic surfaces to enhance resin cement adhesion.
Instructions for Use
- Clean and dry the internal surface of the porcelain restoration.
- Apply Condac Porcelana 10% gel uniformly to the surface for the time recommended by the porcelain manufacturer (commonly 60–90 seconds).
- Rinse thoroughly under abundant water until all gel is removed; dry completely.
- Apply silane coupling agent according to resin cement instructions.
- Proceed with adhesive resin cement cementation as per standard bonding protocol.
Summary
Condac Porcelana 10% is a clinician-grade porcelain etchant delivering reliable surface conditioning with precise placement and easy removal. Its low-viscosity, thixotropic gel with red visualization dye simplifies application control, while its water-soluble nature ensures thorough cleanup. Ideal for veneer or ceramic restorations requiring predictable resin cement bonding strength.
