Hydrogum 5 High Dimensional Stability Dental Alginate 453g

The Zhermack Hydrogum 5 Dental Alginate 453g is a high-performance scannable alginate with 10 µm detail reproduction and 5 days of dimensional stability, built for demanding practitioners who need silicone-like precision from an alginate impression material.

Hydrogum 5's high dimensional stability guarantees impression accuracy for up to 120 hours — take an impression on a Friday and send it to the lab the following Tuesday without worrying about distortion. Because it's scannable, Hydrogum 5 also gives direct access to digital workflows: labs can scan the impression straight to a digital model without a casting step.
