DEI® Rainbow: a reliable and accurate compound

In the whole of DEI® italia sales this line of silicons is among the most popular and successful products, since the unique features of these materials offer many advantages.
Undoubtedly, the most important qualities of DEI® Rainbow are the hydro-compatibility, the type of complete chemical reaction and the elastic memory. These characteristics respectively guarantee maximum accuracy of survey of details also in presence of liquids, stability of size also after some days, and precision of impression also in case of heavy deformations due to the extraction of the impression in presence of undercuts (Elastic Memory).
Other very appreciated DEI® Rainbow’s features are resistance to rip, optimum hardening time and availability of different viscosities.
DEI® Rainbow is odourless and tasteless, a valuable characteristic that together with fast curing times offers better comfort to patients and lower stress to dentists when dealing with difficult patients.

Chemical features
Following the reaction of addition, the reactive groups bind themselves together without separation of a third molecule. As the splitting of products by means of evaporation is impossible, provided that the initial product is not volatile and has a higher molecular weight (like DEI® Rainbow), a shrinkage does not occurduring the curing.
Under influence of catalysts based on precious metals, the hydrogen-hydride groups of silicon of a component link to the vinyl-hydride groups of silicon of the other component.
