Elastomers

(polysiloxanes) : Used to identify materials with a particular

structure. Are organic materials consisting

of polymer molecules with the ability to

"stretch", "develop," compressed

"ultimately bear to tensions mouth.

Chemically there are four types of

elastomeric impression materials used as:

1.Polisulfure

2. Silicone condensation polymerization

3. Addition polymerization silicone

4.Polyether

Silicones:

Elastic materials

are based impressions polydimet

es. They owe their name to

the presence of silica and

Uses: prints are used for crowns and fixed

bridges For bite registration and laboratory

procedures for the process of partial and full

composition

The chemical reaction of a condensation silicone is as follows

silicate ortoalquílico

polydimethylsiloxane+ silicate ortoalquilico ----

polydimethyl siloxane + Alcohol

PROPERTIES:

. The working time of the silicones is 2-

4 minutes less than the mercaptans

Polymerization time: 6-

3 minutes is comparatively less than the

mercaptans, the polymerization time can be

changed with

temperature temp. High polymerization acce

lerates

Dimensional Stability: Like other print

materials, condensationsilicones contract.

. Can be reduced using well

adapted trays with a thickness of 3 to 4mm.

. Elastic recovery: the recovery is

approximately 100% higher than virtually all

other elastic materials.

Fluency: compared with the mercaptans,

these materials are morerigid and therefore

have better flow.

Flexibility: inflexible compared to the

mercaptans and more flexible than the

polyesters

Toxicity of silicones are not toxic, however it

is recommended not to touch his hands and

not take material improperly
