- A multi-purpose, dual-cure, radiopaque, permanent adhesive resin cement.
- ISO 4049 classification: Type 2, Class 3.
- Radiopacity value above 2.5mm Aluminium. (Radiopacity is defined as the ability of a material to be visible in x-ray photographs.)
- Forms ideal bond with metal alloys, porcelain, ceramic, dentin, enamel.
- Has a chemical affinity for metal.
- A dual-cure cement – it has a self curing mechanism which can also be light cured for an immediate set and extra strength at the margins.
- Light curing High-Q-Bond gives your restorations immediate stability and easy clean up of excess material.
- Features high retention and total margin integrity.
- Marketed since 2000 with no changes in formula. No complaints of any health-related or chemical performance issues were received.
