Starbond Ni
NiCr-bonding alloy for conventional, high-fusing (low expansion) ceramics. Free of beryllium, cadmium and lead. Type 3 pursuant to DIN EN ISO 22674.
    High degree of purity
    Biocompatible and extremly corrosion resistant
Advantages for Dental Technicians:
    System-free working due to very good alloy properties
    Pleasant polishing properties and easy finishing due to low hardness of 200 HV10
    Flexibilität bei der Keramikauswahl und sicheres Verblenden
    Excellent metal-ceramic bonding, even without bonder
    Optimal conditions for laser welding
    Application flexibility and easy melting, no sparking
    An oxidation firing can be omitted
