Extended contact of impression materials with chemical disinfectant could remove surfactant, significantly altering the contact angle and wettability characteristics of an impression material.

Increasing the contact time between a surfactant-containing impression material and a disinfecting solution can significantly alter the resulting contact angle of the impression material and render it similar to a material depleted of surfactant. Following manufacturer-recommended chemical disinfection times reduces surfactant loss and only minimally affects surface wettability.
