4.3. Notes on hardening cold-curing polymers in the Polyclav
pressure vessel
Before loading the Polyclav
„
been saturated with water. If the plaster model is dry, the formation of bubbles in
the acrylic will be unavoidable.
Fill the Polyclav pressure vessel with water up to approx. 3 – 5 cm below the brim
®
„
(temperature approx. 40 – 46 °C / 104 – 114 °F).
Use a compressor or compressed air (max. 8.0 bar) to achieve an operating pressure
„
of 1.8 – 2.2 bar. The manometer monitors the pressure level.
The Polyclav pressure vessel remains under pressure until the acrylic is completely
®
„
hardened.
Observe the Instructions for use for the acrylic used.
„
The Polyclav pressure vessel can be attached via the pressure hose
®
„
(accessory, REF 070-015-00) to any compressor in a dental office or laboratory,
provided the compressor operates with more than 3 bar.
5. Maintenance
We recommend you clean the inside of the lid once a week to remove acrylic and
„
limescale. Any standard descaling agent can be used to remove limescale.
Pointed or corrosive cleaning materials or sharp, pointed instruments should not be
„
used in order to avoid damaging the surface.
Please note that sharp-edged objects such as fixators, articulators etc. may damage
„
the surface.
Heating the Polyclav
„
components and gaskets.
Please maintain the lid gasket clean and free of grease. If necessary, sprinkle with
„
talcum powder.
