An imine-terminated polyether impression rubber was studied. Setting is effected by an aromatic sulfonate ester. The material is clean handling, odorless, and quick setting. Dimensional stability in air is good, but exposure to water may cause difficulty. It is very stiff when set; therefore, impression withdrawal may be more difficult than with materials now in use.
