Why choose GipEx Tabs?
GipEx Tabs significantly increase the efficiency of your settling tank in the dental laboratory.
Fine particles agglomerate into heavier flocs, which fall faster to the bottom of the tank.
Settling becomes quicker, the water remains clearer for longer and the tank requires less frequent cleaning.
This reduces the risk of clogged pipes, unpleasant odours and unplanned maintenance.
Directions for use (summary)
- Place 1 tablet in the overflow compartment or dedicated cage of the settling tank.
- Renew in general once a week.
- Check water clarity and sludge level at the bottom of the tank.
- Increase frequency if the tank receives a high volume of plaster or abrasive residues.
- Apply local regulations for the collection and disposal of sludge.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for exact dosing, safety guidelines and disposal recommendations.
Typical use in the dental lab
- Settling systems installed under sinks or connected to plaster sinks.
- Laboratories casting models, bases and prostheses on a daily basis.
- Reduction of fine plaster particles in wastewater prior to discharge.
- Complementary treatment to economic or Mestra settling tanks 14 L / 19 L / 70 L.
- Better hygiene around the tank thanks to reduced deposits and odours.

FAQ
Is the flocculant mandatory?
No, the flocculant is not mandatory, but it greatly improves the settling of fine particles (plaster, dust) in the tank. The water remains clearer, the tank fouls less quickly and maintenance is easier.
Where should the tablet be placed in the settling tank?
Place the tablet in the overflow compartment or in a small cage designed for this purpose, slightly away from the direct water flow. This allows a slower and more controlled dissolution and a more regular flocculation effect in the tank.
What is the recommended dosage for GipEx Tabs?
The standard recommendation is one tablet per week. For intensive use, you can go up to two tablets weekly. Adjust the dosage according to the clarity of the water, the volume of plaster residues and the amount of sludge at the bottom of the tank.

FAQ
Is the flocculant compulsory?
No, GipEx Tabs are not compulsory, but they considerably improve the settling of fine particles in the tank. The water remains clearer, the walls foul less and maintenance is faster.
How should the tablet be positioned?
Place the tablet in the overflow compartment or in a small cage, away from the direct inflow of water. This ensures a progressive dissolution and a more steady flocculation action throughout the tank.
How many GipEx Tabs should I use per week?
In most dental labs, one tablet per week is sufficient. In heavy use, with a large amount of plaster residues, you can increase to two tablets per week and fine-tune the dosage based on water clarity and sludge volume.
