SOLMETEX and SULTAN HEALTHCARE ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP in AMALGAM SEPARATION
Minimizing Mercury Release to the Environment and Maximizing Cleaning Efficiency of Dental Vacuum Lines
ENGLEWOOD, NEW JERSEY, (September 2007) SolmeteX® Inc and Sultan Healthcare announce a strategic partnership to lead the industry in helping reduce mercury in dental wastewater. SolmeteX® is a global developer and manufacturer of dental amalgam separation technology. Its Hg5® amalgam separators combine sedimentation and filtration to achieve 99% mercury filtration per the ISO-11143 standard. Sultan Healthcare is the manufacturer of PUREVAC®, the leading brand in evacuation system cleaning. Its PUREVAC® Hg Formula is the only cleaning solution that binds small particles of mercury into larger ones making them easier to capture. The two companies will co-market their products as a complete system for simultaneously capturing amalgam/mercury while cleaning dental vacuum lines.
“The dental waste stream is a complicated mix of chemistry, tooth fragments, amalgam and other materials.” states Al Dubé, Vice President of the SolmeteX
Dental Division, and he continues, “The combination of the Hg5 Series amalgam
separators and the PUREVAC Hg vacuum line cleaner creates the most

complete amalgam removal and mercury capture solution on the market.
According to SolmeteX company officials, fine and dissolved mercury particles can represent up to 20% of dental mercury. “By making smaller particles into bigger particles, PUREVAC Hg helps ensure that Hg5® amalgam separators provide the maximum possible mercury filtration.” Tim Lorencovitz, Product Manager of Sultan Healthcare explains. “In addition, the formula helps keep Hg5® filters cleaner longer – saving the office downtime and extending replacement time.”
Lorencovitz calls the agreement “A perfect match of two great products that get better when used together,” and he adds, “We look at this relationship as a positive for the dental office, the dealer and the environment.”
