Durelon Fast Set Carboxylate Luting Cement is a zinc polycarboxylate self-cure cement engineered for reliable permanent cementation with the added benefit of chemical adhesion to tooth structure. Its fast-set formulation accelerates working and setting time compared to conventional Durelon, supporting faster clinical workflows while retaining the biocompatibility, low solubility, and trusted clinical performance of polycarboxylate chemistry.

Key Features:

• Zinc Polycarboxylate Chemistry: Durelon's polyacrylic acid-based formula bonds chemically to calcium in tooth structure and metal restorations, providing a reliable adhesive interface that contributes to long-term restoration retention beyond purely mechanical cementation.
• Fast Set Formula: Accelerated working and setting time reduces total cementation procedure time compared to regular-set carboxylate cements, improving patient comfort and supporting faster chairside workflows in busy restorative and orthodontic practices.
• Biocompatible Formula: Polycarboxylate chemistry is well-established for its pulpal biocompatibility, making Durelon a suitable cement option in cases with reduced dentin thickness or where minimal pulpal irritation is a clinical priority.
• Low Solubility: Durelon maintains long-term stability in the oral environment, resisting dissolution from salivary and oral fluids and supporting durable marginal seal throughout the restoration's lifespan.
• Hand Mixing: Powder and liquid are hand-mixed on a mixing pad, allowing the clinician to adjust consistency and working time as needed for the specific restoration and technique preference.
• Triple Powder Pack: Three 20g powder jars provide a generous powder supply for high-volume cementation practices, reducing reorder frequency and ensuring consistent material availability across orthodontic, restorative, and prosthetic cementation procedures.
