U: Dual-cure Universal Adhesive
VOCO introduces Futurabond U, the world’s first
and only true universal adhesive in a unit dose delivery system. Futurabond U’s two main advantages as
identified by VOCO are first its universal indications for all adhesive
procedures without the need of any additional activators or primers and second Futurabond
U’s ability to prevent solvent evaporation a well-documented challenge for
adhesives dispensed in a bottle.
Futurabond U’s versatility allows it to be used
in self-, selective- or total etch mode without any additional primers or
activators on virtually all substrates. Futurabond U achieves total-etch bond strength
levels with all light- self- and dual-cure resin based composites, cements and
core build up materials. As a dual-cure adhesive Futurabond U will self-cure
without any light activation which offers a big advantage for endodontic
applications such as post cementation where it avoids the pooling effect, a
problem with light cured adhesives. Futurabond U also adheres well to metal,
zirconia and ceramic making extra primers unnecessary.
Futurabond U comes in a patented unit dose
delivery system that prevents the solvent from evaporating. This ensures
reliable and predictable results with each application. Thus the first bond
will be as good as the last bond out of the box. VOCO states Futurabond U’s
unit dose is priced the same as or less than the bottle systems of other brands.
Futurabond U needs only one coat and takes 35
second from start to finish. Its low film thickness of only 9 microns makes
bonding margins invisible (i.e. no “halo” effect) and prevents pooling
problems. Additionally the material does not need to be refrigerated.
