INLAY WAX
1. Overview:
a. Objective: Pattern material to accurately represent desired mold space for inlays, onlays, and crowns. b. Requirements for Inlay Waxes: (1) Good adaptation to dies (2) Thermal stability at low temperatures (3) Complete pyrolysis at high temperatures 2. Inlay Wax Composition: a. b. c. d. e. 60% Paraffin Wax 25% Carnuba Wax 10% Ceresin 5% Beeswax <1% Colorants = BASE Wax = MODIFIER Wax = MODIFIER Wax = MODIFIER Wax = COLORANT
