Discover the Cleaning Action of SmartScrub Technology.
PowerScrub Vacuum Line Cleaner by Solmetex releases specific enzymes to dissolve vacuum line debris on contact. Our 100% biodegradable, proprietary formula remains in your lines overnight for continual cleaning action and rinses clean when the job is done.
Advanced Cleaning Action
PowerSonic™ Ultrasonic Cleaner is a patented, plant and mineral based, 100% enzyme free, catalytic cleaner that super charges the action of your ultrasonic bath and instrument washer using nano-oxygen bubbles. The power comes from a naturally occurring technology platform that provides enhanced gas transfers, instantaneous odor elimination, and the breakdown of organic waste to essentially “eat up” any remaining contaminants.

Solmetex has developed a comprehensive Waste Compliance Program that includes the disposal of all regulated dental waste. Solmetex offers a variety of disposal kits for all sizes and types of dental practices. These annualized disposal programs, offered through your local dental dealer, provide the opportunity for your practice to meet all your waste disposal needs from one source.
