An overview of VOCO's glass ionomer dental materials, their advantages, specifications and application formats.
VOCO provides a comprehensive range of glass ionomer materials for restorative, luting and protective applications in dentistry. The portfolio includes high‑viscosity restoratives such as Ionofil Molar AC, light‑curing options like Ionolux, water‑mixable products such as Aqua Ionofil Plus, and resin‑reinforced luting cements like Meron Plus.
The document details material properties (fluoride release, radiopacity, compressive strength), handling characteristics (mixing time, working and setting times), available shades and packaging formats, and explains the benefits of VOCO’s patented application capsules for precise, bubble‑free delivery.
| Mixing time | 30 s |
|---|---|
| Working time | > 3 min |
| Setting time (standard) | 20 s (light curing) |
| Radiopacity (Ionofil Molar AC) | 250 %AI |
| Compressive strength (Ionolux) | 219.6 MPa |
| Water solubility (Ionolux) | 0.16 % |
| Fluoride release | continuous |
| Radiopacity (Aqua Ionofil Plus) | > 200 %AI |
The setting time is just two and a half minutes.
No, it can be used straight from the application capsule without conditioning.
Ionolux is offered in shades A1, A2 and A3.
Aqua Ionofil Plus has a radiopacity greater than 200 %AI.
