Material Mixing Pad

Material Mixing Pads give you a clean, stable surface for hand-mixing dental materials every time. The poly-coated white sheets resist absorption so materials stay workable longer, while the non-skid foam base keeps the pad firmly in place on the counter — no chasing the pad across the table or set-up tray mid-mix. Available in three sizes to match your procedure and workspace, with 100 tear-off sheets per pad for a full supply in every package.

Key Benefits:

• Poly-Coated Surface: Resists absorption to keep materials workable and prevent premature setting during mixing
• Non-Skid Foam Base: Stays put on countertops and bracket tables — no slipping during mixing
• White Sheets: Clean white background makes it easy to distinguish material colors, shades, and consistency
• 100 Sheets Per Pad: Generous supply per pad reduces reorder frequency
• Three Sizes Available: 3" x 3", 3" x 6", and 6" x 6" to match your procedure and workspace
• Easy Tear-Off: Clean sheet separation keeps workflow moving between mixes
• Raydenco Quality: Consistent construction for reliable performance procedure after procedure

Size Guide — Choose the Right Pad:

3" x 3" (SKU: 31-120):

• Best for: Small-volume mixes, cements, bonding agents, liners
• Ideal for: Limited bracket table space, single-tooth procedures
• Common uses: Zinc phosphate cement, glass ionomer, cavity liners

3" x 6" (SKU: 31-121):

• Best for: Medium-volume mixes, impression materials, composites
• Ideal for: General restorative procedures, everyday chairside mixing
• Common uses: Impression material spatulation, resin cements, temporary materials

6" x 6" (SKU: 31-122):

• Best for: Large-volume mixes, alginate, full-arch impression materials
• Ideal for: Lab work, prosthetics, larger mixing volumes
• Common uses: Alginate mixing, stone and plaster, large cement mixes

Compatible Materials:

• Impression Materials: Alginate, polyvinyl siloxane (PVS), polyether, zinc oxide eugenol
• Dental Cements: Zinc phosphate, glass ionomer, resin cement, zinc oxide non-eugenol
• Restorative Materials: Resin-based composites, flowable composites, core build-up materials
• Cavity Liners & Bases: Calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer liners, dentin bonding agents
• Lab Materials: Dental stone, plaster, die stone, investment materials
• Temporary Materials: Temporary cements, provisional materials, sedative dressings

Why Poly-Coated Pads Outperform Plain Paper:

• No Absorption: Plain paper absorbs liquid from materials, altering the powder-to-liquid ratio and accelerating set time. Poly coating prevents this.
• Longer Working Time: Materials stay at the correct consistency longer, giving you more time to mix and place
• Accurate Ratios: No liquid loss means your mix stays true to manufacturer specifications
• Cleaner Disposal: Used sheets peel away cleanly without tearing or leaving residue

Product Specifications:

• Surface: Poly-coated (non-absorbent)
• Sheet Color: White
• Base: Non-skid foam
• Sheets per Pad: 100 tear-off sheets

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Which size should I order for alginate mixing?
A: The 6" x 6" pad is recommended for alginate and other large-volume impression materials. The larger surface gives you room to spatulate thoroughly without material going over the edges.

Q: Can I use these for resin-based composites?
A: Yes — the poly-coated surface is compatible with resin-based composites, flowable composites, and resin cements. The non-absorbent surface prevents the resin from soaking into the paper.

Q: Why does the white color matter?
A: The white background makes it significantly easier to assess material color, shade, and consistency during mixing — especially important for shade-sensitive materials like composites and cements.

Q: Are these single-use?
A: Yes — each sheet is used once and torn off for disposal. Single-use sheets eliminate cross-contamination between mixes and patients.

Q: How many pads should I order?
A: A busy practice mixing materials 10–15 times per day will use approximately one pad every 1–2 weeks. Many practices keep 3–6 pads of their most-used size on hand to avoid running out mid-procedure.
