Max Etch has a 35% concentration of phosphoric acid, which represents the gold standard in achieving a consistent, micro-mechanically retentive enamel and dentin surface for virtually all bonding procedures.
Max Etch is applied to enamel for 5 seconds then rinsed, applied to dentin for 15 seconds for a total of 20 seconds. This leaves behind a deep, micro-mechanically retentive surface.
- Flowability and rich blue color allow for precise placement, including occlusal grooves
- Viscous enough to prevent migration
- Self-limiting in its depth of etch (average depth of 1.9μ with 20 second etch)
- Rinses quickly leaving behind a clean, etched surface with no residual pigment or filler to affect the adhesive integrity
