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.
