ELASTIC® CROMOAlginate Impression Material
INDICATIONS
1. Impressions for partial dentures
2. Preliminary impressions for
complete dentures
3. Impressions for orthodontics
4. Impressions for study models
5. Impressions for temporary crowns and bridges
FEATURES
Easy mixing Smooth consistency Optimum viscosity Colour change indicator Highly elastic impressions Low deformation – high impressions
stability High compressive strength 120 h pouring time Precise details reproduction
120 h Dimensional stability
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Compressive strength(Mpa) 1,00 – 1,27
Practically means how strong or tear resistant is the impression, when you pull it out from the impression tray or plaster. Elastic Cromo has a high-optimum Compressive strength and at the same time high Temporary deformation (Strain in Compression = elasticity of the impression).
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Permanent deformation(%) 2,50 – 3,00
In simple words – how much % of the material does not recovers to the same volume position after being pressed, or pulled – Recovery from deformation is an oposite characteristic. Elastic Cromo has quite low Permanent deformation.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Temporary deformation(%) min. 11,00
Or it is also called Strain in Compression according to the new ISO norm – Temporary deformation differs from Strain in compression only in a way of measuring, but the figures are almost the same = elasticity of the material. Elastic Cromo belongs to the material with very high elasticity. Thus, the impression is easily removable from the patient´s mouth or the plaster cast.
