Impregum Soft Polyether tray impression material provides dental professionals with the benefits of a polyether and the convenient dispensing style of a vinyl polysiloxane (VPS). Dental professionals choose Impregum Soft impression material to enhance the quality of their impressions and increase the efficiency in their practices by reducing retakes, remakes, and adjustments. Its hydrophilicity allows for better impressions in moist conditions, and its unique flow properties offer excellent precision and accuracy of fit.
According to 3M the manufacturer of Impregum Soft Polyether Tray Impression Material:
Impregum Soft Polyether Impression Materials are:
Better than any VPS for detail reproduction in a wet environment. It displaces moisture right from the start of the mix – when it counts – for void-free impressions.
Better than any VPS for achieving precise-fitting restorations, due to polyether’s unique snap-set behavior. It will not start setting before the working time ends, and when it does set, it does so immediately.
Better than any VPS at capturing fine detail for better-fitting crowns, reducing crown adjustments. It flows better into the toughest spots, yet does not slump – and offers the best flow behavior during the entire working time.
Less-rigid; soft polyether is easier to remove – great for dual-arch trays.

I am not compensated in any way by 3M but I have to agree with the manufacturer’s descriptions.
Impregum was the crown and bridge impression material used at our school and I trust their choice which required a lot of research.
But besides that I have compared Impregum and VPS materials side by side in my practice and I have noticed better detail in the impregum impressions.
When the cartridge systems came out years ago, I stopped using Impergum for the convenience of a gun and cartridge system, and to get away from the umpleasant taste of the material, and have adapted to VPS impressions now.
Now that Impregum has had a cartridge system for a while, I am thinking of switching back.
I am going to start looking at their offers and prices for comparison.
