Product consistency
Stear HeraCeram cre-active 2D, 3D or Glaze / Glaze Fluo (paste) components well with a metal-free spatula before each use! Due to their ceramic base, the pasts can sediment from the liquid. Do not pour surplus liquid out of the container. Mix it back into a paste. The pastes become softer with movement and easy to work with.
The consistency of the material may vary depending on the room temperature.
The consistency of the HeraCeram cre-active 2D and 3D pastes can be individually adjusted by carefully adding HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL) or HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo (paste) components.
If the consistency of the HeraCeram cre-active 2D or 3D pastes or HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo pastes becomes drier and thus firmer due to prolonged storage, the viscosity can be readjusted by carefully adding the HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL).
Liquid
HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL) must be used. The use of staining liquids or thinner liquids on ceramic lines manufactured by competitors is not indicated.
The consistency of the HeraCeram cre-active 2D and 3D pastes can be individually adjusted by carefully adding HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL) or HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo (paste) components.
Product Application
The surface of the restoration for customisation must be developed, i.e. contours and surface structures must be designed using diamond abrasives or indicated rotating instruments. Prepare the zirconium dioxide after milling resp. Lithium Disilicate frameworks after milling or pressing in acc. to the manufacturer‘s Instructions for Use. Unless otherwise specified in manufacturer's Instruction for Use treat zirconium dioxide with 110 – 125 μm and Lithum Disilicate using 50 μm disposable blasting corundum (Al₂O₃).The recommended jet pressure is 2 bar. Afterwards, remove any grinding dust and impurities from the surface, e.g. with a steam jet.
HeraCeram cre-active 3D components can be applied in a layer thickness of 0.1 – 0.3 mm over the individually stained or glazed surface. For a layer thicknesses over 0.3 mm on zirconium dioxide or lithium disilicate, the layering ceramic indicated for the respective framework material should be used (e.g. HeraCeram Zirkonia 750)!
The fully developed restoration can be individually characterised using various HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo and HeraCeram cre-active 2D masses. The components can be combined/ mixed individually with each other. Stear all paste compounds well with a metal-free spatula before each use. Due to their ceramic base, pasty masses can sediment from the liquid. HeraCeram cre-active 2D Espresso as well as HeraCeram cre-active Glaze and Glaze Fluo components are available in powder form. To prepare the ready-to-use powder masses, the ceramic powders are mixed with HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL). Wetting the ceramic surface with HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL) makes the layering and colour impression more visible.
Before applying the HeraCeram cre-active 3D components, the surface must already be wetted and fired with a layer of HeraCeram cre-active 2D or HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo compound. On zirconium dioxide or lithium disilicate framework surfaces alternatively HeraCeram Zirkonia 750 Adhesive can be applied with a brush in an evenly thin layer (wash) and fired under vacuum (see firing chart in HeraCeram Zirkonia 750 instructions for use). Stear HeraCeram cre-active 3D components well with a metal-free spatula before each use. Due to their ceramic base, pasty masses can sediment from the liquid. Afterwards apply the desired HeraCeram cre-active 3D mass and model it into the desired shape with a clean brush. The components can be combined/ mixed individually with each other. The consistency of the HeraCeram cre-active 3D pastes can be individually adjusted by carefully adding HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL) or HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo components. The optimum layer thickness of the HeraCeram cre-active 3D materials are 0.1 to max. 0.3 mm.
The degree of glazing and the texture of the ceramic surface are defined during firing by the temperature and the holding time. For this reason, the specifications for the firing temperature and holding time are for orientation only and may need to be adjusted to achieve the required result. Firing procedure see general firing tables.
Working environment
Pay attention to the cleanliness of the brushes, metal-free spatula and working environment. Any contamination from the outside can have a negative influence to the aesthetic result after firing. Danger of impurities!
Storage
Carefully reseal the container after removing the product to avoid contamination, clumping and drying out. No special storage conditions required.
If the consistency of the HeraCeram cre-active 2D or 3D pastes or HeraCeram cre-active Glaze / Glaze Fluo pastes becomes drier and thus firmer due to prolonged storage, the viscosity can be readjusted by carefully adding the HeraCeram cre-active Liquid (CAL).
