Formula 1
Universal Investment for All Alloys and Pressable Ceramics
This high-performance, universal
investment works equally well for all
alloys and pressable ceramics. Its wide
expansion range allows the technician
to achieve optimal t for a variety of
materials. The robust bimodal nature
of Formula 1 strengthens molds and
promotes easier devesting when
working on more fragile materials
such as all-ceramic restorations.
Using only a 15-minute benchset and
30-minute burnout, Formula 1 reduces
processing time and increases lab
productivity.
Features:
• One investment for both crown and
bridge alloys and pressable
ceramics reduces inventory
• Wide expansion range
• Fluid consistency promotes ease of
investing and smooth surface
• Advanced hybrid formula
strengthens molds and devests
easily
• Rapid and standard burnout
capabilities require no change in
laboratory routines
• 15 minute benchset reduces
processing time
