8.0 Viscosity and handling
8.1 Viscosity
Test set up
G-ænial Bond was applied on an acrylic plate and light-cured. Some composite material was
applied on the plate and the plate was left to stand vertically for 60 seconds at 37° c.

The viscosity of G-ænial universal Flo is higher than a flowable composite such as G-ænial Flo and
behaves more like a restorative material. The viscosity of G-ænial Universal Flo was designed to
improve handling of the material in restorative situations such as cervical cavities. it is
thixotropic, meaning that it will stay in place and makes it possible to contour the material after
placement (for example, using a probe).
8.2 application
The unique new syringe design makes direct application of the material into the preparation easy.
The tapered end and texture of the tip prevent the composite from sticking to the tip.

in addition, the tip is very thin with a long nozzle to easily reach the base of posterior restorations.
The tip is also screwed directly on the syringe, offering a joint strength that is 8 times higher than
for other flowable composite syringes.
