Dental Care Filaments
Medical-grade filaments engineered for superior oral hygiene and professional dental care
Advanced Dental Hygiene Solutions
Morning, evening and ideally after every mealtime: dental hygiene is important! The toothbrush needed for this is an everyday object but on close examination it’s long been a high-tech product, as no two people are alike. So too for the human set of teeth.
In order to satisfy this challenge we offer our broad range of solutions for individual dental hygiene. We place particular emphasis on effectiveness, sensitivity, functionality, and conceptuality.
Our Four Core Focus Areas
Effectiveness
We offer filaments whose cleaning power is significantly greater than that of conventional dental care filaments. We achieve this through the use of different filament profiles as well as co-extrusion technology. By combining various material characteristics, we achieve maximum effectiveness for your toothbrush design in terms of cleaning power. The effectiveness of our filaments is furnished primarily by medical studies carried out by universities renowned in the field of oral and facial medicine.
Sensitivity
Co-extrusion offers many possibilities in the area of sensitivity. Dental hygiene after surgical intervention or with periodontitis demands appropriately gentle applications. We support you with our diverse range of filaments with low stiffness or softer surface options, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.
Functionality
Functionality is provided by our filaments through antibacterial finishes which contribute to the inhibition of bacterial growth on the filament surface, or through the release of active substances such as sodium fluoride (NaF) as used in toothpaste.
Conceptuality
Our purely conceptual ideas regarding possible additives such as charcoal, white pearl, and black pearl can offer your application a potential unique selling point (USP).
Our Established Brands
Years of development work is the basis of our current portfolio which covers more than 25 different product groups in a unique variety of colors. We have been represented for more than 30 years with our Medex® S (PA 6.12) and Dentex® S (PBT) brands in the field of original dental filaments.
Medex® S PearlTech® - Innovation
Following the successful implementation of PearlTech® technology in the field of high-quality monofilaments, the technology has now also been transferred to dental filaments. Special particles are added to the polymer melt and ensure a permanent modification of the polymer.
The thermoplastic polymer contains polysiloxane particles, whereby the particle size can range from 20 nm to 200 µm. The filaments demonstrate optimum performance when the particles are spherical and have a diameter ranging from 0.2 to 50 µm.
Advantages of PearlTech® Functionalization
- Improved abrasion resistance
- Good anti-dirt properties
- Permanent effect throughout entire service life
- Non-toxic and fluorine-free
- FDA and EU 10/2011 approved
- Suitable for all personal care and hygiene applications
Material Options
In addition to PA 6.12 (Medex® S), other polyamides such as PA 6, PA 66, PA 4.10, PA 6.10, PA 10.10, PA 11 and corresponding copolymers can be used as raw materials. Other matrix materials include polyester (PBT, PET), thermoplastic elastomers, and polyolefins.
