Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present describes a curable composition for dental impression comprising: a curable base composition and a surfactant system comprising a first surfactant, which is at least one compound having the formula (I) and a second surfactant, which works synergistically with the second surfactant so as to permit the composition to surprisingly have a lower contact angle; these results are reached with relatively low concentrations of biodegradable surfactants.

First claim

The invention claimed is: 1 . A curable composition for dental impression comprising: a curable base composition and a surfactant system comprising a first surfactant, which is at least one compound having the following formula (I) wherein R are each, independently of one another, a C 1 -C 4 aliphatic; each R 1 is, independently of the others, a C 1 -C 6 aliphatic; each R 2 is, independently of the others, selected from a group consisting of: H and C 1 -C 3 aliphatic; each R 3 is selected, independently of the others, from a group consisting of: H and C 1 -C 4 aliphatic; x is an integer from 0 to 5; y is an integer from 1 to 10; a is an integer from 1 to 30; b is an integer from 0 to 5; and a second surfactant, which is at least one compound having the following formula (II): wherein R 4 is selected from a group consisting of: R 5 is selected from a group consisting of:  and R 6 is selected from a group consisting of: wherein k, j, z, r, d and t are each, independently of one another, an integer from 1 to 10; q is an integer from 1 to 100; Rf are each, independently of one another, a C 1 -C 6 fluorine containing alkyl; and Rf are each, independently of one another, selected from a group consisting of: CF 3 —CF 2 —CF 2 —O—CF(CF 3 )—CH 2 — and CF 3 —(CF 2 ) e —(CH 2 )f-, wherein e is an integer from 1 to 7 and f is an integer from 1 to 10, wherein the curable composition comprises from approximately 0.1% to approximately 7% in weight, with respect to approximately the total weight of the curable composition, of the first surfactant and from approximately 0.1% to approximately 7% in weight, with respect to the total weight of the curable composition, of the second surfactant, the curable composition further comprising from 0.1% to 3% in weight with respect to the total weight of the curable composition of a fluoro compound, which is at least one compound having a formula selected from the group consisting of the following formulae: 2 . The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein each R is a methyl; each R 1 is —C 3 H 6 —; each R 2 is an H; each R 3 is selected, independently of the others, from a group consisting of: H and methyl; x is an integer from 0 to 1; y is an integer from 1 to 5; a is an integer from 5 to 20; b is zero; k, j, z, r, d and t are each, independently of one another, an integer from 1 to 6; q is an integer from 1 to 40; Rf are each, independently of one another, a C 1 -C 4 fluorine containing alkyl; and Rf i are each, independently of one another, selected from a group consisting of: CF 3 —CF 2 —CF 2 —O—CF(CF 3 )—CH 2 —, CF 3 —(CF 2 ) 2 —(CH 2 )— and CF 3 —(CF 2 )—(CH 2 )—. 3 . The curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 4 represents: R 5 represents:  and R 6 represents: 4 . A curable composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 4 represents: R 5 represents:  and R 6 represents: 5 . A curable composition for dental impression comprising: a curable base composition a surfactant system comprising a first surfactant, which is at least one compound having the following formula (I) wherein R are each, independently of one another, a C 1 -C 4 aliphatic; each R 1 is, independently of the others, a C 1 -C 6 aliphatic; each R 2 is, independently of the others, selected from a group consisting of: H and C 1 -C 3 aliphatic; each R 3 is selected, independently of the others, from a group consisting of: H and C 1 -C 4 aliphatic; x is an integer from 0 to 5; y is an integer from 1 to 10; a is an integer from 1 to 30; b is an integer from 0 to 5; and a second surfactant, which is at least one compound having the following formula (IX): wherein Rf ii represents a C 1 -C 6 fluorine containing alkyl; R 7 represents a C 1 -C 4 alkyl; Ra represents a C 1 -C 3 alkyl; Rb represents a C 1 -C 3 alkyl; Rc is selected in the group consisting of: a C1-C6 aliphatic, a C 1 -C 6 alkoxy; Rp represents a C 1 -C 6 alkyl; ax is an integer from 1 to 10; ay is an integer from 1 to 10; aa is an integer from 0 to 20; ab is an integer from 0 to 20; ac is an integer from 1 to 20; ae is an integer from 0 to 1; with the proviso that when Rc is an alkoxy, ae is 1, and when Rc is an alkyl, ae is zero; and a fluoro compound, which is at least one compound having a formula selected from the group consisting of: wherein xx is an integer from 2 to 10; m is an integer from 1 to 20; n is an integer from 0 to 200; Rd are each, independently of one another, selected from a group consisting of: —F, —CF 3 . 6 . The curable composition according to claim 5 , wherein Rf ii represents a C 1 -C 4 fluorine containing alkyl; R 7 represents a C 1 -C 2 alkyl; Ra represents an ethyl; Rb represents an ethyl; Rc is selected in the group consisting of: a C 3 -C 5 alkyl, a C 2 -C 4 alkoxy; ax is an integer from 1 to 6; ay is an integer from 1 to 6; aa is an integer from 0 to 12; ab is an integer from 0 to 12; ac is an integer from 1 to 16. 7 .
