GLUMA® Bond5
Two steps, one bottle, no preparation time
Based on our long-term bonding expertise, we developed the 5th generation etch & rinse one-bottle adhesive GLUMA Bond5. Produced to meet your everyday requirements for uncomplicated bonding, it exhibits excellent shear bond strength and ensures successful long-term restorations. GLUMA Bond5 produces excellent adhesion to the enamel and the dentine, as well as an optimal marginal sealing.

Good to know
Indications
GLUMA® Bond5 your new best friend.
GLUMA Bond5 is the successor of our established GLUMA Comfort Bond – improved and updated. It forms a homogeneous hybrid layer for safe sealing and high bond strength, especially on enamel. It was developed for your comfort – in handling, performance and storage. No shaking is needed before the application. The taking is superior due to its perfect consistency that prevents dripping. GLUMA Bond5 can be stored at room temperature and is usable directly out of the bottle, without preparation time.
GLUMA Bond5 is ideally suited for:
- Adhesive fixing of direct composites, Polyglas® and compomer restorations.
- Adhesive fixing of indirect laboratory-fabricated ceramic, Polyglas® and composite restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers and crowns).
In GLUMA Bond5 you find the prerequisites for the stable and satisfying fixing of your restorations.

FAQ
What is meant by total-etch?
The term total-etch is used for simultaneous etching of enamel and dentine – for example with phosphoric acid – to remove the smear layer and create microporosities for anchoring the adhesive. The etching always starts on the enamel, then the dentine is also involved. Enamel is etched for approximately 20–30 seconds, dentine for 15 seconds. Excessive etching can cause hypersensitivity and incomplete hybrid layers. The term “Total Etch” is especially used in the Anglo-American countries, also as a synonym for 5th generation etch and rinse two-step adhesives.
How many applications can be performed with a 4 ml bottle of GLUMA Bond5?
The number of applications performed depends on the size of restoration. Similar to GLUMA Self Etch around 180 drops can be taken from a bottle.
What is meant by wet/moist bonding?
This term describes the following situation: The exposed collagen fibres still contain some water and do not dry out completely after etching. Blowing off only removes excess water. The water remaining in the interfibrillar crevices protects them protects them. Otherwise the collagen network can collaps which results in a reduction of penetration depth of the applied adhesive.
Can a bottle of GLUMA Bond5 be kept outside the fridge?
GLUMA Bond5 must not be stored in the fridge, it can generally be kept at a maximum of 25°C outside the fridge. Of course it can also be kept in the fridge.
What is the processing time of GLUMA Bond5?
Like every adhesive, GLUMA Bond5 contains solvent. Because GLUMA Bond5 is based on ethanol, the composition and effectiveness changes if the material has been dispensed for a longer period (more than 3 to 5 minutes). Close the bottle after use to avoid evaporation of ethanol.
How long can GLUMA Bond5 be used after opening?
Due to the evaporation of the ethanol around 3 to 5 minutes.
Is it necessary to subsequently rub in the applied layer of GLUMA 2Bond?
No, agitation is not intended and is not necessary.
Should GLUMA Bond5 be used on uncut enamel surfaces?
Yes, this is possible. GLUMA Bond5 can be used on both cut as well as uncut enamel, as the separate etching step is always conducted before applying GLUMA Bond5.
Should GLUMA Bond5 be used on sclerotically modified dentine?
Yes, as the separate etching step is performed before applying GLUMA Bond5.
Is it possible to use another applicator?
Yes, GLUMA Bond5 contains all the active components. You can use any ethanol-resistant applicator.
Why is GLUMA Bond5 simple in handling and application?
Only one layer of GLUMA Bond5 has to be applied. Drying of this layer is very easy. The material remains stable in the cavity, no agitation is required.
GLUMA Bond5 as a material for direct capping?
Numerous studies lead to the recommendation of not using adhesives for this purpose. Kulzer does not recommend GLUMA Bond5 for direct capping of the pulp. It should be performed in the conventional way.
