STAR Soft Putty is a hydrophilic addition silicone (VPS) impression material for crown and bridge, implant, veneer, inlay and onlay impressions, with a 1:30 minute working time and 3–4 minute setting time.
Addition silicone (A-silicone or vinyl polysiloxane, VPS) is the go-to material for precision impressions in fixed prosthodontics and implant work. A putty and light-body combination captures both the overall arch and fine margin detail, and hydrophilic formulations handle the moist oral environment better.

Addition silicones (A-silicones) set without a by-product and offer better dimensional stability, so casts can be poured with less distortion. Condensation silicones (C-silicones) are lower in cost but less stable over time. For crowns, bridges and implants, addition silicone is the usual choice.
STAR Soft Putty’s 1:30 minute working time gives time to seat the tray in either technique.
Pricing depends on kit composition (putty only, or putty with light body), pack size and brand. AGKEM supplies STAR Soft Putty on enquiry, including bulk quantities.
