F-400 is a 70% high strength lathe cut alloy suited for the practitioner who prefers the 'Feel' of a high quality conventional amalgam with sufficient condensation mobility to enable easy packing.

F-400's micrograins allow the establishment of strong margins without breakage and the amalgam achieves excellent physical properties.

F-400 restorations readily carve to attain a smooth dense surface and polish to a high lustre.

In excess of 50 million successful F-400 restorations have ensured that F-400 is clinically accepted as one of the world's leading conventional fine grain alloys. 

• Uniform consistency
• Condensation mobility allowing easy packing
• Fine particle size resulting in a dense amalgam mass
• Firm but smooth carving and burnishing surface
• Strong marginal adaptation
• Adequate but not excessive working time
• Positive dimensional change assisting marginal sealing
• High polishability
• Available in a non-leak, easily activated, SDI Capsule System as Regular Set.
