Dentafloc BDT – disinfecting anti-odour tablets for dental laboratory plaster traps
Dentafloc BDT is a maintenance solution for dental laboratory plaster traps. The tablets are designed to reduce stagnant-water odours, support the sedimentation of plaster residues and improve hygiene around wet work areas.
Thanks to the included suspension basket, the tablet can be positioned in a water circulation area inside the separator. Its gradual dissolution provides regular action between two draining and cleaning operations.
Maintenance tablets for dental laboratory wastewater separators
In a dental laboratory, the plaster trap retains plaster residues, dust, mineral particles and sludge generated by rinsing, trimming, finishing or cleaning workstations.
Over time, loaded wastewater and accumulated deposits can generate unpleasant odours around the sink or wet workstation. This can reduce working comfort and make separator maintenance more difficult.
Dentafloc tablets complement mechanical cleaning of the trap by helping to maintain a healthier, cleaner and more comfortable work area day after day.
Why use Dentafloc in a dental laboratory plaster trap?
A plaster trap works by separating solid particles from wastewater before they enter the drainage system. Heavy particles settle at the bottom of the separator, but fine residues and sludge can remain active in stagnant water.
Dentafloc BDT acts as a maintenance complement: it helps reduce odours, supports the flocculation of plaster residues and helps reduce discomfort linked to loaded wastewater.
This routine is particularly useful in laboratories that regularly use plaster, investment materials, modelling materials, resins or heavily used rinsing stations.
Benefits of Dentafloc tablets in the laboratory
- Anti-odour action in plaster traps and wastewater separators.
- Simple use with a weekly routine.
- Basket included for gradual dissolution in the water circulation area.
- Improves comfort around wet workstations.
- Practical complement to mechanical separator maintenance.
- Box of 10 tablets suitable for regular use.
- Helps maintain more stable hygiene between two full cleanings.
Compatibility with plaster traps
Dentafloc is suitable for most plaster traps and wastewater separators used in dental laboratories.
The key point is to be able to suspend the basket in an upper compartment where water circulates correctly around the tablet.

Applications in dental laboratories
- Routine maintenance of a wastewater plaster trap.
- Reduction of odours in plaster work areas.
- Use at rinsing, trimming, finishing or cleaning workstations.
- Improved comfort around under-sink equipment.
- Hygiene routine for laboratories using plaster, resin or modelling materials.
- Preventive maintenance of separators receiving wastewater loaded with fine particles.
Recommended Dentafloc instructions for use
- Place 1 Dentafloc tablet in the supplied basket.
- Suspend the basket in the upper compartment of the separator.
- Choose an area where water circulates correctly around the tablet.
- Allow the tablet to dissolve gradually.
- Generally renew once a week.
- Adjust the frequency according to laboratory activity and any odour development.
Regular action in the upper chamber of the separator
The suspension basket allows the tablet to be positioned in the upper part of the plaster trap, where water circulates before continuing through the separator.
This position supports gradual diffusion of the tablet and helps with the flocculation of plaster and investment material residues present in loaded wastewater.
To maintain regular action, it is recommended to check the basket during each trap maintenance operation and renew the tablet according to the laboratory’s usage rate.
Dentafloc does not replace plaster trap draining
Dentafloc tablets do not replace draining or rinsing of the plaster trap. They should be used as a maintenance complement to maintain better hygiene between two full cleanings.
For lasting efficiency, it is recommended to monitor sedimentation, remove accumulated sludge and periodically clean the separator compartments.
Recommended maintenance routine
- Check the sludge level inside the trap.
- Make sure the basket remains correctly suspended.
- Replace the tablet at regular intervals.
- Clean the internal partitions and compartments.
- Dispose of waste according to the rules applicable to the laboratory.
- Combine the tablets with planned separator draining.

FAQ – Dentafloc disinfecting tablets for plaster traps
How do you use Dentafloc tablets with the basket?
Place one Dentafloc tablet in the supplied basket, then suspend the basket in an upper area of the separator. The aim is to position the tablet in a compartment where water circulates correctly around it.
The tablet dissolves gradually, providing regular action inside the plaster trap. It is recommended to check the basket during maintenance operations to make sure the tablet remains correctly positioned.
How often should a Dentafloc tablet be replaced?
A weekly frequency is suitable for most laboratories. The manufacturer recommends placing a new tablet at least once a week in order to maintain anti-odour action and flocculation of plaster residues.
If the laboratory has high activity or odours reappear more quickly, the frequency can be adjusted according to wastewater volume, sludge level and the number of workstations connected to the separator.
Is Dentafloc compatible with all plaster traps?
Dentafloc is suitable for most separators and plaster traps used in dental laboratories. The essential point is to be able to suspend the basket in an area where the tablet remains in contact with circulating water.
Before use, it is recommended to check the trap configuration, the presence of an accessible upper compartment and the absence of interference with the internal separator components.
Do the tablets replace plaster trap cleaning?
No, Dentafloc tablets complement maintenance but do not replace mechanical cleaning. It is still necessary to drain, rinse and regularly check deposits, partitions and water flow areas.
The role of Dentafloc is to help reduce odours, support sedimentation and improve comfort between two full cleanings of the plaster trap.
Why use disinfecting tablets in a dental laboratory?
A plaster trap works with wastewater loaded with particles, plaster sludge and technical residues. Without regular monitoring, this wet area can promote odours and reduce comfort around the sink.
Dentafloc tablets are part of a simple hygiene routine: they help keep the separator cleaner between two maintenance operations while improving day-to-day comfort for the team.
