High-precision scannable alginate for digital dental impressions
Hydrogum 5 Zhermack – High stability scannable alginate with 5-day dimensional stability
Hydrogum 5 Zhermack is a high-performance dental impression alginate developed for clinicians and dental laboratories requiring extreme precision, extended stability and full compatibility with modern digital workflows.
Thanks to its advanced formulation, this scannable dental alginate delivers surface detail reproduction up to 5 microns while maintaining dimensional accuracy for up to 120 hours (5 days).
Hydrogum 5 significantly improves communication between the clinic and the dental laboratory, even when impressions need to be stored, transported or digitized several days after taking the impression.
A next-generation alginate designed for digital dentistry workflows
Conventional alginates often show limitations in terms of dimensional stability and surface detail reproduction. With Hydrogum 5, Zhermack introduces a high-precision scannable alginate specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into modern digital dental workflows.
Its homogeneous and ultra-fine surface allows direct scanning without scanning spray or powder using structured light, blue light, blue laser and CBCT scanning systems.
This advanced technology significantly improves digital acquisition accuracy while reducing remakes caused by distortion of conventional impression materials.

FAQ – Hydrogum 5 Zhermack
Why is Hydrogum 5 considered a premium dental alginate?
Hydrogum 5 combines several advanced properties rarely found together in a dental alginate: 5-day dimensional stability, 5 µm detail reproduction and direct compatibility with dental scanners.
This makes it an ideal solution for modern digital workflows and high-precision dental impressions.
What is the advantage of 5-day dimensional stability?
The 120-hour dimensional stability allows impressions to be stored for several days without deformation.
This simplifies transportation to the laboratory, digital scanning organization and significantly reduces impression remakes.
Can Hydrogum 5 be scanned without scanning spray?
Yes, Hydrogum 5 is a scannable alginate designed for direct digitization without the use of opaque scanning sprays.
Its ultra-smooth surface optimizes optical reading with structured light, blue light and CBCT scanning systems.
Why is fine detail reproduction important in dental impressions?
Accurate detail reproduction leads to more reliable models and better-fitting restorations or orthodontic appliances.
With precision up to 5 µm, Hydrogum 5 enhances digital analysis quality and improves CAD/CAM dental workflows.
