>Flowable Composite - “No Bubbles” Formulation
Standard flowable composite formulations incorporate fine air bubbles into the material. When photo-polymerized these air spaces result in uncured composite internally, leading to internal structural weaknesses and the development of micro-fractures. The ENA HRi Flow formulation eliminates air bubbles, resulting in superior physical properties.
- Highly Filled (77%)
- Higher Viscosity & Modulus of Elasticity
- Higher Radiopacity
- Superior Physical Properties
