Description
The Gingi-Pak AquaLoid Purple Extra Strength is the strongest reversible hydrocolloid in the AquaLoid family, built for impressions that must survive removal from deep undercuts. Its 5 to 10 minute temper trades a little speed for noticeably tougher gel strength.
- Extra-strength gel – the toughest AquaLoid formula resists tearing at thin margins and undercuts
- 5 to 10 minute temper – the longest working window in the family for unhurried tray loading
- Selected agar blend – records crowns, bridges, partials, inlays and onlays with fine detail
- Two pack sizes – a 12-tube pack or the 144-tube economy pack for conditioner-based operatories
Extra-Strength Hydrocolloid for Demanding Impressions
Some impressions fail at removal, when a thin section of material tears away from an undercut and the case has to start over. The purple variety answers that problem with the strongest gel in the AquaLoid range, formulated to hold together where lesser materials give way. It tempers in 5 to 10 minutes, giving the assistant the longest loading window of the three tempers, and sets within 5 minutes in the mouth. The agar records the same crown, bridge, partial, inlay and onlay work as the rest of the family, with the detail hydrocolloid is chosen for. Liquefied material stores for up to 5 days, so its slower cycle never has to mean wasted stock.

Why Choose AquaLoid Purple Extra Strength
Retakes cost more than temper time ever will, and the purple variety is bought to avoid them. Its extra strength shows up exactly where impressions usually fail, at removal from tight anatomy. For difficult cases, that margin of safety is the point of the product.
- Fewer torn impressions – tougher gel survives undercuts that defeat standard-strength materials
- Calmer appointments – the long temper window removes the rush from tray loading
- Same trusted detail – strength is added without giving up the accuracy agar is known for
- System continuity – one conditioner supports all three AquaLoid tempers side by side
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Purple variety extra strength?
Its gel is formulated for greater tear resistance than the Blue and Green tempers. That strength helps impressions survive removal from undercuts and thin margin areas.
How long does the Purple temper take?
It tempers in 5 to 10 minutes, the longest window in the AquaLoid family. Once seated it still sets within about 5 minutes in the mouth.
Which cases suit the extra-strength formula?
It suits cases with deep undercuts, multiple preparations or any impression where tearing at removal is a risk. Routine cases can use any of the three tempers.
Can liquefied Purple material be stored?
Yes, it can be stored for up to 5 days after liquefaction like the other varieties. Keep it in the conditioner per the equipment directions.
What quantities can I order?
Choose the 12-tube pack for occasional use or the 144-tube economy pack for a busy hydrocolloid practice. Both contain the same tubes.
