Description
SNAP-STONE is an exceptionally fast setting stone with an early high compressive strength, which allows separation of the cast from the impression in 5 minutes. Because SNAP-STONE is fast setting, hand mixing is recommended. SNAP-STONE is compatible with all impression materials and its versatile, light pink color makes it suitable for many uses.
Procedures which can be performed faster with SNAP-STONE include:
- Bleaching trays
- Mouth guards
- Vacuum formed splints
- Custom trays
- Orthodontic appliances
- Temporaries
- Denture repairs
- Study casts
- Articulator cast mounting
- CAD-CAM restorations
