orthoXin®

Orthodontic Resin, Autopolymer

Acrylic resin for the fabrication of orthodontic appliances. The material has been specially developed for use with the doughing technique, but is also conditionally suitable for use with the salt-and-pepper technique.

Indications

  • Fabrication of orthodontic appliances using the doughing technique
  • Fabrication of orthodontic appliances using the salt-and-pepper technique

Product features

  • easy processing
  • universal use
  • good stability
  • comfortable processing phase
  • safe and fast polymerization
  • Cadmium free
  • free from phthalate plasticizers
  • evaluated and certified biocompatibility

Mixing ratio:
10g of powder with 5g of liquid

Processing times:
Swelling phase: approx. 45 sec
Beginning of the plastic phase: after approx. 3 min
End of the plastic phase: after approx. 10 min

Polymerization:
The polymerization is carried out under a pressure of 2-3 bar and a water temperature of 40°C for about 10 minutes.

Colors:
The material itself is colorless, but may be customized using already colored monomers (orthoXin® color) or special color concentrates (orthoXin® intense).

Delivery forms:
Powder: 1.000g, 5.000g, 10kg, 25kg
Liquid: 500ml, 5.000ml
additional sizes upon request

Note:
Medical Device. Classification according to ISO 20795-2, Type 1 and according to MDD 93/42/EEC Annex IX, Class IIa for removable and for fixed orthodontic appliances.
