New production line for even better zirconium dioxide blanks
The new and innovative production line facilitates an even higher quality of zirconium dioxide blank materials.
A first-class raw material and isostatic pressing form a solid basis. By optimizing the structural conditions of the zirconium dioxide, however, we have obtained the objective of being able to recommend a lower final sintering temperature.
Such a much more gentle sintering process stabilizes the material against hydrothermal aging and increases the long-term stability of the material inside the mouth.
The surfaces are smoother and more homogeneous, the edge trimming is cleaner. As a positive side-effect, the service-life of the sintering furnace is prolonged.
