Duplicating by the SILADENT-System

Preparing the model
and placing spacers

Caution: do not soak the model, only
duplicate when dry.
Refer to the full list of materials which
are incompatible with silicone.

Degreasing and
cleaning

If required, the prepared model
should be cleaned and degreased
using Neutrasil spray before it
is duplicated.

Drying

Spray and allow to take effect
for 2 minutes.
Then dry carefully with
compressed air.

Placing the duplicating
adhesive tape round the model

Now place the duplicating adhesive tape
(REF 101707) round the prepared, cleaned and
dried model. Leave a minimum gap of 5 mm
between the model and tape.

Stabilizer plate for
the duplicating mould

Stabilising plates are used for stabilising
the duplicating mould which are
available in four different sizes.

Size 1 - REF 101703
Size 2 - REF 101704
Size 3 - REF 101705
Size 4 - REF 101706

Fixation device

Select the appropriate size of stabilizer
plate and screw it onto the threaded
rod of the fixation device. Ensure
that the stabilising plate does not
come into contact with the duplicating
adhesive tape.

Dispensing the
silicone

Adisil® blue 9:1, Adisil® pink 1:1,
Adisil® rapid 1:1 and Hydrosil 1:1
duplicating silicones are suitable
for use with the SILADENT system.
Dispense according to directions
and adhere to the instructions for use.

Adisil^®
Recommended working
temperature 18 - 22 °C
Recommended storage
temperature 8 - 12 °C

Mixing the silicone

We recommend mixing the duplicating
silicone under vacuum for 40 sec..
Alternatively, cure the duplicating
silicone under pressure after dispensing
it from a 1:1 dispenser unit DA 2000
(REF 111503). When curing under
pressure, use a duplicating cross
(REF 101702) instead of the
fixation device.

Mixing bowl should
not be filled with more
than 1/3rd

Mixing under
vacuum

Mixing under vacuum or curing
under pressure ensures that the
duplicating material is as
homogenous as possible.

Without vacuum

With vacuum

Pouring
the silicone

After mixing the silicone according
to instructions, pour it in a thin
stream from a height of 40 - 50 cm.

Caution: always pour onto the
centre of the model.

Function of the
stabilizer plate

Stabilizer plates are used to stabilise
the base of the flaskless duplication
in order to prevent any deformation
when fabricating investment models.

Fixation of the
stabilizer plate

Lower the stabilizer plate into the
silicone until the silicone flows
from the retention holes on the
side of the plate. The stabilizer
plate should not be completely
covered by silicone.
