Stain-Mix

Porcelain mixing palette for stains with transparent or black lid.
• 30 small wells for stains.
• 1 large well for glaze.
• available with a black lid for light-curing stains.

Glass mixing palette for porcelain and light-curing stains.
• 30 small wells for stains.
• 3 large wells for glazes or mixing fluids.
• tapered edge to wells for scraping off brushes and for fine apportioning of colours
• air-tight lid.
• available with a black lid for light-curing stains.

 
     

Melody

Porcelain palette with individual wells for mixing porcelain stains.
• 16 sloped wells for stains.
• 4 flat wells for individual mixing of stains.
• separate well for mixing fluid.
• All porcelain compounds and colours are clearly laid out.
• transparent lid with airtight seal.

For Tropical, Tropicolino etc.
A homogenous palette material capable of diffusion provides the porcelain with a continuous supply of the correct amount of fluid.

The system
• the porcelain palette rests in an acrylic tray of water.
• permanent diffusion of the water takes place through the palette surface.
• the porcelain’s optimum moist consistency is maintained.

Advantages
• no purchase of wear-and-tear parts (e.g., membranes or filters).
• every gram of porcelain is used.
• no continual re-moistening of the porcelain powder.
• porcelain remains consistently moist for days and weeks.
• minimal evaporation during work breaks due to air-tight lid.
• technician can concentrate on modelling.
• choice of three mixing palettes for individual use.

Cleaning
Manually:
• under running water.
• with a jet steam spray.
• with sandpaper (400 µm)
Baked in a pre-heating oven (e.g. overnight)

Note:
The use of an agate spatula instead of metal instruments prevents scraping the palette when mixing

• 12 large wells for separate storage of porcelain.
• 7 smaller wells for small mixing amounts.
• 4 glazed wells (without moisture) for mixing liquid or stains.
 
     
Rainbow

Moisturises porcelain compound via perforations in wells.
The system
• the porcelain palette rests in an acrylic tray of water.
• capillary effect to the wells (2 holes each) moistens the porcelain.
• permanent optimum porcelain consistency.
Advantages
• continuous balancing out of evaporation.
• porcelain remains ready to use over weeks.

Ceramex – Removers / Dissolver

Caustic agent for removing porcelain, investment material and metal oxides.
Areas of Application
• removal of porcelain facings.
• etching full porcelain inlays and crowns before cementing (cover polished areas with wax).
• removal of oxides from all bonding alloys -
not titanium!
• loosening of investment material without blasting.
Advantages
• particularly effective in an ultrasound bath at 40–45°C resp. 104–113°F (acrylic vessel).
• no damage to framework.
• does not attack metal.
 
     
GO-2011 Removers / Dissolver

Special liquid for powerful yet sparing removal of plaster.
• removes plaster from: dentures, mixing vessels, instruments, articulators and work surfaces.
• quick reaction (creates bubbles).
• does not dissolve acrylic, metals or glass.
• optimum effect in ultrasound bath at 40-50°C (104-122°F).
• ready-to-use liquid (2 litres can remove approx. 200 g plaster)
 
     
Proform-12

Proform-12
is a porcelain additive which lends plasticity to the porcelain mass.
• the porcelain takes on a wax-like consistency.
• improves stability of porcelain when modelling.
• considerably less evaporation just by adding a few drops (= remains moisture over a longer period).
• does not affect the firing process.
• neutral colour.
• enables aesthetic occlusal surfaces to be modelled using the tiniest porcelain portions.
• optimum bond between applied layers.
• can be used with all porcelain powders from reputable manufacturers.
