What does waterproof mean?

Waterproof doesn’t mean that your denture will stay stuck permanently.

It simply means that the adhesive doesn’t dissolve easily in saliva. This allows it to stay effective for many hours instead of washing away quickly.

Our Fittydent Adhesive products consist of two main components: Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) and Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Polyvinyl Acetate is the adhesive component. It works on a dry surface to create a strong bonding effect, similar to the way chewing gum sticks to a surface. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), on the other hand, helps manage moisture in the mouth. It works like a “sponge,” absorbing moisture and helping to keep the contact area between the denture and mucosa dry for as long as possible.

Over time, the CMC absorbs moisture until it becomes saturated. As this happens, the adhesive effect gradually decreases, making it easy to remove the denture.

You can still remove and clean your denture as usual.
