HeraCeram Pre-Opaque)
CET 25°C – 500°C (77°F – 932°F): 16.2 μm/m*K
Hardness after casting: 265 HV 10
Hardness after fi ring: 280 HV 10
Yield point 0.2%: after casting 430 MPa
Tensile strength after fi ring: 800 MPa
Elongation at rupture after fi ring: 18%

Contraindications: In cases of hypersensitivity (allergy) to the con-
stituents of the alloy, discontinue its use.
Side eff ects: In individual cases, hypersensitivity reactions (allergies)
and electrochemically induced local dysaesthesia have been reported,
such as changes in taste and irritation of the oral mucosa. Interactions
with other dental alloys: Galvanic eff ects can occur under proximal or
antagonistic contact with dentures of diff erent alloys. If lasting, electro-
chemically induced, local dysaesthesia arises from contact with other
alloys, the restorations must be replaced with other materials.
