USES:
COMPOSITION:
LIQUID: Aqueous solution of phosphoric acid 50-60%, aluminium phosphate upto 10%,
water 30%( controls the rate of reaction)
PROPERTIES:
1. The strength of zinc phosphate cement s sufficient when they are used as a base or luting agent.
2. They are good thermal insulators and maby be effective in reducing galvanic pain.
4. They are not able to form an effective chemical barrier due to their inherent acidity.
USES:
PROPERTIES:
• Rapid setting of the material occurs after placing into the cavity.
• Strength is almost 20 MPa for unreinforced materials and 40 MPa for reinforced materials.
• Value of thermal diffusivity is similar to dentine so forms an effective thermal barrier under
metallic restorations.
• Highly soluble, leached eugenol is replaced by water leading to hydrolysis of zinc eugenolate,
resulting in disintegration of cement structure.
USES:
• As a lining materials
COMPOSITION:
PASTE I:
PASTE II: glycol salicylate 40%, titanium dioxide, calcium sulphate, calcium tungstate.
