Handling Instructions

Lightly sandblast the entire surface of the framework upon receipt. This step is intended to simply create a clean surface to begin working with.

ONLY AREAS REQUIRING ADJUSTING NEED FINISHING.

Perform finishing with dedicated burs or non-contaminating stones. ALL OTHER SURFACES CAN SIMPLY BE SANDBLASTED. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PERFORM TRADITIONAL METAL FINISHING ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE.

When finishing steps are completed, sandblast the surface using non-recycled 110µ TO 150µ AL2O3 at max. 36 to 43 PSI or 2.5 / 3 bar pressure then clean in ultrasonic or with steam.

Oxidation

Oxidize at 950°C – 980°C for 5 minutes under vacuum. Oxidation high temperature is 10° higher than your opaque cycle high temp.

Opaque

Do not use a bonder. Ideal opaque coverage may require three applications. Follow this with standard body and incisal porcelain application and glazing per your porcelain kit instructions.

Handling Instructions

PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE FRAMEWORK!

Before modifying the surface with any grinding, sandblast the part with non-recycled 50–100-micron AL2O3 at max. 65 psi pressure. Avoid inhalation of dust! The surface must be clean of any potential contaminates prior to modifying.

ONLY AREAS IN NEED OF ADJUSTING NEED METAL FINISHING. The whole surface does not require refinishing.

Perform desired finishing with dedicated carbide burs or non-contaminating stones such as grinding instruments categorized as non-contaminating, having ceramic binders. ALL OTHER SURFACES CAN SIMPLY BE SANDBLASTED. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PERFORM TRADITIONAL METAL FINISHING ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE.

When finishing steps are completed, sandblast the surface using non-recycled 50–100-micron AL2O3 at max. 65 psi pressure.

Oxidation

Clean using distilled H2O in an ultrasonic, or steam clean and dry the part free from any water residue. Place the framework on firing trays providing stable support. Do not touch the dried surface. Begin firing at 650C/1200F, increasing the temperature to 950C/1740F under full vacuum with 5-minute hold at the high temperature.

Opaque

The first layer of opaque MUST BE A VERY THIN WASH COAT as seen below. Failure to perform this step as described is a likely cause of bubble formation at later stages. Ideal opaque coverage may require three applications. Follow this with standard body and incisal porcelain application and glazing.

Recommended Ceramic Material

IPS Style®, IPS InLine®, One, IPS InLine®, PoM, IPS Classic®, IPS d.SIGN®

Solders and Fluxes

Design the soldering patty as small as possible and preheat it in the furnace at approximately 600°C/1112°F. The soldering gap should be the same thickness as the soldering strip. Allow the object to cool slowly after soldering. Use flux very sparingly.
Pre-Solder
HGPKF 1015Y, High-Fusing Bondal Flux
Post-Solder
.615, .585 Fine Gold Solder, Bondal Flux
Laser weld material
Laser Ceramic Yellow PdF

Polishing

After glazing remove oxide and flux residue and finish/polish the framework with rubber finishers/polishers.

Indications

Onlays, 3/4 crowns, crowns, telescope crowns, conus crowns, posts, short and long span bridges, bars, attachments, implant superstructures, partial dentures.

Contraindications

For patients with known allergy/sensitivity to any major or minor constituents of this alloy, consultation with a physician is recommended.

Side Effects

In individual cases, sensitivity, or allergies to components of this alloy may occur.

Interactions

Galvanic effects may occur between different alloys in the same oral environment.

Product Description

Pd-based, Type 4, metal-ceramic dental alloy.

PXN Handling Instructions

PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE FRAMEWORK!

Before modifying the surface with any grinding, sandblast the part with non-recycled 50–100-micron AL2O3 at a maximum of 65 psi pressure. Avoid inhalation of dust! The surface must be clean of any potential contaminants before modification.

ONLY AREAS IN NEED OF ADJUSTING NEED METAL FINISHING. The entire surface does not require refinishing.

Begin firing at 540C/1000F, increasing the temperature to 950C/1740F without vacuum with a 1-minute hold at the high temperature.

Opaque

The first layer of opaque MUST BE A VERY THIN WASH COAT as seen below. Failure to perform this step as described is a likely cause of bubble formation at later stages.

Contraindications

Consultation with a physician is recommended for patients with known allergy/sensitivity to any major or minor constituents of this alloy. This material is not recommended for any application not within the indications listed.

Side Effects

In individual cases, sensitivity, or allergies to components of this alloy may occur. Strategy Milling makes no claims regarding the MRI compatibility of its dental alloys.

Polishing Recommendations

This is a Type IV alloy which is hard.
Follow with a new or newer Robinson Soft Bristle Brush using medium pressure and  Fabulustre Polishing Compound, the type for final buffing of Au, Ag, Pt, Al, Ni, Fe, and Cu, (two tone gold colored label).
Short, worn bristle brushes are not great, in my opinion. Follow that up with a soft felt wheel, light on pressure and light on polish.
This combination works very well at leaving a smooth, high shine.
