How should I store tooth gem bonding products?

Correctly storing tooth gem bonding products is important for maintaining the performance and shelf life of the 3-step BlinQ* bonding system. BlinQ* Blue Etch, Primer and Glue should be protected from heat, light and contamination.

Each product label shows a thermometer symbol with the temperature range in which the product should be stored. Always follow this storage range. This is especially important during summer, because temperatures inside a salon or treatment area can rise considerably.

If you work with tooth gems on location, for example at a festival, event or outdoor setting, pay extra attention to temperature and exposure to sunlight. Never leave the products in direct sunlight, on a windowsill, in a hot car or on a sunny work table.

How to store tooth gem bonding products correctly

• keep Blue Etch, Primer and Glue within the temperature range stated on the label;
• store the products in a closed, light-proof container;
• close every product immediately after use;
• do not leave products unnecessarily open on the work table;
• never place them in direct sunlight, for example on a windowsill or sunny work surface;
• do not leave the products in a hot car;
• protect Primer and Glue especially well from UV light;
• use clean application materials and avoid contamination of the packaging;
• always check the expiry date and storage instructions on the label.

BlinQ* Blue Etch – Step 1

Close BlinQ* Blue Etch immediately after use. Remove a used application tip after treatment and store the syringe with its designated closure. Always keep Blue Etch within the stated temperature range and protected from direct sunlight.

BlinQ Primer* – Step 2

BlinQ Primer is sensitive to temperature fluctuations and UV light.* Exposure to sunlight can affect the product and may cause light-sensitive components to react or cure prematurely.

For this reason, we supply our primers in small light-proof pouches that block UV radiation. Keep the primer in this pouch whenever it is not in use.

Only remove the primer from the protective packaging when needed, close it immediately after use and place it back into the light-proof pouch. Never leave the primer for extended periods on a work table, windowsill or other sunny location.

BlinQ* Glue – Step 3

BlinQ* Glue is a light-curing product and should therefore be protected carefully from light. Daylight, direct sunlight and light from a curing lamp can affect the product.

Close the Glue immediately after use and store it in a light-proof container within the temperature range stated on the label.

The storage instructions and temperature range on the product label always take priority.
