Vacalon HydroSmooth Debubblizer is a surface-tension reducer that prevents bubbles when stone is poured or wax patterns are invested. Material flows into every fine detail, giving dense, accurate models and smooth castings. It contains no alcohol or harsh chemicals, so it is safe on dental gypsums, investments, impression materials and duplicating materials.
What it is used for
- Models – spray the impression before pouring stone
- Investing – spray wax patterns before investing
- Duplicating – works with duplicating materials for bubble-free copies
Why labs choose it
- Trigger sprayer gives an ultra-fine, even mist
- Freeze stable – if it freezes, shake it and use it as normal
How to use it
- Spray a light, even mist over the impression or wax pattern
- Shake or blow off any pooling; the surface does not have to be completely dry
- Pour the gypsum or investment as usual
Details
- 8 oz spray bottle
- 32 oz refill, supplied with an empty 8 oz spray bottle for daily use

About debubblizers
A debubblizer is a surfactant: a surface-active substance, such as a detergent, applied to a surface to help another material wet it. In laboratory work it is sprayed on an impression before the stone is poured.
This shelf holds the process liquids of casting and model work: debubblizers, hardeners and accelerators, and electrolytes. Investing is covering an object such as a wax form with investment material before processing, soldering or casting.
How the types differ
- Debubblizers — Used before pouring or investing, so the mix wets the surface.
- Electrolyte and polishing solutions — Used after casting, on the metal.
- Hardening & Accelerating Agents — An accelerator, a speed liquid and a wash, each sold as a liquid.
What to look at when choosing
Hardeners: Type IV dental stone is the usual material for working dies, and a die hardener is applied to it. One laboratory study compared cyanoacrylate, resin-based and colloidal silica-based hardeners and found that both the type of hardener and the drying method changed surface hardness and compressive strength.
Electrolytic polishing: in one study it brought cobalt-chromium surfaces to a roughness in the nanometre range, comparable to conventional mechanical polishing.
Safety data sheet: OSHA requires a safety data sheet in the workplace for each hazardous chemical in use, and the maker or importer has to supply one. Labels on incoming containers of hazardous chemicals are not to be removed or defaced.
