GipEx Tabs — professional flocculant for dental laboratory plaster traps
GipEx Tabs by Hinrichs are professional flocculant tablets designed to improve the performance of under-sink plaster traps used in dental laboratories.
In a dental prosthetics laboratory, rinsing water often contains fine dental stone particles, plaster sludge, technical dust, resin residues or abrasive micro-particles that can remain suspended for a long time.
GipEx Tabs tablets accelerate flocculation: fine particles agglomerate into heavier flocs, promoting faster sedimentation, clearer water and better protection of drainage lines.
An ideal solution for dental laboratories looking to improve plaster trap performance and reduce drainage fouling.
Why use a flocculant in a dental laboratory plaster trap?
Dental laboratory plaster traps are designed to retain heavy particles before they enter the drainage system. However, very fine sludge can remain suspended for longer and gradually move towards the trap outlet.
This is precisely the role of a professional flocculant such as GipEx Tabs: it helps transform these micro-particles into heavier aggregates so they settle more quickly at the bottom of the trap.
Key benefits:
- More effective sedimentation of fine particles.
- Reduced deposits inside drainage lines.
- More stable wastewater flow.
- Simplified plaster trap maintenance.
- Lower risk of blocked drains.
- A cleaner working environment day after day.
Designed for dental laboratories
GipEx Tabs are particularly suitable for laboratories handling:
- Dental stone type 3 and type 4.
- Model and die residues.
- Wet model trimmer dust.
- Polishing sludge.
- Particles from resin work.
- Ceramic or stellite residues.
Regular use improves the overall performance of the under-sink plaster trap, especially in high-water-flow working environments.
A simple, fast daily solution
GipEx Tabs tablets are ready to use and easy to integrate into the laboratory routine.
A tablet is generally placed in the upper compartment of the plaster trap to allow gradual diffusion of the product.
The dosage can then be adjusted according to:
- The plaster trap volume.
- The number of workstations.
- The daily water flow.
- The quantity of dental stone handled.
- The frequency of rinsing cycles.
A small consumable that helps protect an expensive installation
A clogged or poorly maintained plaster trap can cause:
- Slower wastewater drainage.
- Sludge accumulation.
- Unpleasant odours.
- More frequent cleaning operations.
- Increased risk of blocked pipework.
Regular use of GipEx Tabs by Hinrichs helps maintain more stable and homogeneous sedimentation while reducing maintenance constraints.
In a modern dental laboratory, where rinsing volumes can be high, this type of consumable provides real comfort and operational security.
Recommended instructions for use
- Place the tablet in the cage or upper compartment of the plaster trap.
- Allow the tablet to dissolve gradually.
- Regularly check the clarity of the water.
- Adjust the frequency according to the laboratory workload.
- Dispose of sludge in accordance with local regulations.
For standard use, the indicative dosage is generally 1 to 2 tablets per week.
Laboratory tips
To optimise plaster trap performance:
- Clean the internal compartments regularly.
- Avoid leaving too much time between sludge removal operations.
- Monitor deposits at the bottom of the trap.
- Check wastewater flow speed.
- Use the flocculant regularly rather than occasionally.
Preventive maintenance helps extend the service life of the separation system and maintain stable performance.

FAQ – GipEx Tabs by Hinrichs
Is a flocculant essential in a plaster trap?
No, a plaster trap can operate without a flocculant. However, in a dental laboratory generating a large amount of fine particles, using a flocculant significantly improves sedimentation quality.
Sludge settles faster, the water becomes clearer and the risk of clogging inside the drainage system is reduced.
How often should GipEx Tabs be used?
For standard use, the usual basis is 1 tablet per week.
In laboratories with high water flow or heavy dental stone use, increasing to 2 tablets per week may be useful.
Which plaster traps are compatible with GipEx Tabs?
GipEx Tabs are compatible with Mestra 14 litre, 19 litre and 70 litre plaster traps.
They can also be used with many other professional plaster traps equipped with a suitable diffusion compartment.
What types of residues does the product help manage?
The product mainly acts on fine suspended particles: dental stone, plaster sludge, abrasive dust, resin residues and technical particles.
It helps them agglomerate, resulting in faster and more homogeneous sedimentation.
Why use a flocculant in a modern dental laboratory?
Today’s laboratories generate high volumes of rinsing water and fine particles, especially with CAD/CAM workflows, resin processing and finishing procedures.
A professional flocculant helps secure the drainage system, reduce deposits and simplify daily maintenance.
A simple solution to improve plaster trap performance
Thanks to its tablet format, GipEx Tabs by Hinrichs are a simple, clean and effective solution for optimising the sedimentation of fine particles in a dental laboratory.
