Zhermack Algitray — Professional alginate cleaner for dental impression trays and instruments
Zhermack Algitray is a professional powder cleaner designed to remove alginate residues from impression trays, instruments and accessories used in dental clinics and dental laboratories.
Its neutral pH formulation, free from phosphates and aggressive surfactants, efficiently cleans retentive areas while helping preserve metallic surfaces and sensitive dental materials.
Suitable for static immersion baths or use in an ultrasonic cleaning unit, Algitray integrates perfectly into a professional hygiene workflow prior to disinfection, sterilization or instrument reprocessing.
Why use a dedicated alginate cleaner?
Alginate is one of the most widely used dental impression materials, but its residues can strongly adhere to impression trays, perforations, borders, retentive zones and mixing instruments. Simple rinsing is often insufficient, especially once residues begin to dry.
Algitray Zhermack provides a more professional solution than conventional cleaning methods by helping dissolve alginate and gypsum deposits, simplifying rinsing, reducing manual cleaning time and improving instrument preparation before hygiene procedures.
Faster cleaning of impression trays
Algitray is particularly effective for metallic or reusable plastic impression trays featuring perforations, textured surfaces or difficult-to-access retentive areas. It helps detach embedded residues without excessive scraping.
- Reduces repetitive manual cleaning.
- Improves access to retentive areas.
- Facilitates rinsing after immersion.
- Ideal for high-volume alginate impression workflows.
Safe for dental instruments
Its neutral pH solution is suitable for professional dental environments where instruments require efficient cleaning without exposing surfaces to overly aggressive chemicals.
- Gentle formula for metallic surfaces.
- Phosphate-free formulation.
- No aggressive surfactants.
- Suitable for routine maintenance protocols.
Daily time-saving solution
In dental clinics and laboratories processing multiple impressions every day, cleaning impression trays can quickly become time-consuming. Algitray helps standardize this procedure thanks to its simple 10% dilution protocol.
The use of an ultrasonic cleaner further enhances efficiency on fine details, perforations and deep retentive zones.
Improved preparation before disinfection
Poorly cleaned instruments may retain organic or mineral deposits. By eliminating visible residues, Algitray helps ensure proper preparation before subsequent hygiene procedures.
The product does not replace disinfection or sterilization, but significantly improves the pre-cleaning stage.

Usage comparison: water rinsing or Algitray?
| Water rinsing only | Useful immediately after use, but often insufficient for dried or embedded residues. |
| Manual scraping | Can be time-consuming, inconsistent and less effective in perforated tray areas. |
| Algitray in static immersion | Simple solution for dissolving residues with a recommended action time of 15 to 30 minutes. |
| Algitray in ultrasonic bath | Premium cleaning solution for faster cleaning and improved access to difficult areas within 5 to 10 minutes. |
Solution preparation
- Prepare a 10% solution.
- Dilute 100 g of powder in 1 litre of warm water.
- Mix until complete dissolution.
- Use a clean solution to maintain optimal efficiency.
Recommended action time
- Static immersion: 15 to 30 minutes.
- Ultrasonic bath: 5 to 10 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry before disinfection, sterilization or reuse.

Dental laboratory tip
For highly perforated impression trays, ensure complete immersion and avoid overcrowding the bath. The solution must circulate freely around instruments to act efficiently on residues.
In ultrasonic units, place instruments separately to optimize the mechanical action of the bath.
Best hygiene practices
Algitray is intended as a cleaning step. After rinsing and drying, continue with the disinfection or sterilization protocol appropriate to your organization and applicable recommendations.
Do not use directly on patients.

FAQ — Zhermack Algitray
Does Algitray replace disinfection?
No, Algitray is a cleaning product designed to remove alginate and gypsum residues.
After cleaning, instruments must still undergo the appropriate disinfection or sterilization protocol.
Why use Algitray instead of simple rinsing?
Rinsing is useful immediately after impression taking, but it is often insufficient when alginate adheres to perforations and retentive areas.
Algitray helps dissolve these deposits and provides a faster, more consistent and more professional cleaning process.
Can Algitray be used in an ultrasonic cleaner?
Yes, ultrasonic cleaning is particularly effective for reducing action time and improving cleaning performance in difficult-to-access areas.
This method is recommended for impression trays and instruments with complex geometries.
Is Algitray suitable for metal impression trays?
Yes, its neutral pH formulation is suitable for cleaning metallic impression trays.
It remains important to follow the recommended immersion times and rinse instruments thoroughly after use.
How should the container be stored after opening?
The container should be closed carefully after each use in order to protect the powder from moisture.
Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from water splashes.
