Mixing Pads
Free!
Mixing Pads are disposable, poly-coated paper sheets for clean, reliable chairside mixing. The non-absorbent surface keeps ratios accurate, releases material smoothly, and tears off for a fresh sheet between patients. Ideal for cements, bases, liners, and small batches of impression pastes. A simple, time-saving alternative to reusable slabs that supports hygiene, reduces cleanup, and delivers consistent, easy-to-handle mixes.
Description
Mixing Pads are disposable, poly-coated paper sheets used to mix small quantities of dental materials cleanly at chairside. Each pad contains a stack of non-absorbent leaves that resist moisture and oils so pastes stay on the surface and blend evenly. When you finish a mix, tear off the top sheet and you have a fresh, hygienic surface for the next patient. No cleanup, no cross-contamination, and consistent handling every time.
Key features and benefits:
-
Non-porous, polyethylene-coated paper that prevents soak-through and keeps ratios accurate.
-
Smooth, easy-mix surface for cements and pastes with a clean release to the spatula.
-
Tear-off sheets reduce turnaround time and support infection-control protocols.
-
Rigid backing for stability on the tray; edges stay flat while spatulating.
-
Available in popular sizes for operatory and lab use; packs provide excellent value.
Typical uses:
-
Mixing zinc oxide–eugenol, temporary cements, and luting pastes.
-
Preparing glass ionomer or resin-modified glass ionomer in small batches.
-
Blending bases and liners such as calcium hydroxide.
-
Manipulating impression pastes and bite registration materials in limited amounts.
How it compares:
-
Versus a glass slab, mixing pads are faster and disposable, ideal for everyday cements that do not require extra cooling.
-
Compared with uncoated paper, the coated surface prevents absorption and uneven setting.
Care and handling:
-
Use a new sheet for each mix. Dispose after use according to clinic protocols. Store flat to keep edges crisp.
Choose Mixing Pads to speed setup, maintain hygiene, and produce consistent mixes without the mess or maintenance of reusable surfaces.
