The Ultimate Flowable. The Ultimate Match.
Nanohybrid Flowable Composite – a flowable that works just the way you want
For a flowable, having one viscosity that flows into all internal line and point angles while holding its shape may seem impossible. However, the rheological additive in Herculite XRV Ultra Flow helps it perform this feat by reducing surface tension as the material contacts the tooth surface under pressure - allowing it to flow to the boundaries of the restoration. The same additive encourages higher surface tension after the material has been placed.
It may seem impossible for a single-viscosity flowable to flow into all internal line and point angles while holding its shape. However, the rheological additive in Herculite XRV Ultra Flow helps it to perform this feat by reducing surface tension as the material comes into contact with the tooth surface under pressure - allowing it to flow to the boundaries of the restoration. The same additive encourages higher surface tension after the material has been placed, so it won’t run or drip.

Similar to its companion Herculite XRV Ultra, Herculite XRV Ultra Flow has excellent mechanical properties, including strength.
Leading experts cite low shrinkage as a critical feature of flowable composites; Herculite XRV Ultra Flow was specially designed with a high-filler loading rate for minimal polymerisation shrinkage.
With its high radiopacity, Herculite XRV Ultra Flow is easily discernible on radiographs.
While initial gloss is a critical feature, gloss over time is more important. It is an indication of how long the aesthetics of the restoration will last. Herculite XRV Ultra Flow retains gloss after ageing better than many other leading materials.
