Vita VM13 Color Opaque Porcelain Powder 50 g

High-fusing feldspar ceramic

This high-fusing feldspar ceramic is designed for use on porcelain bonding alloys with a CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) of 13.8 to 15.2 × 10⁻⁶K⁻¹. Applying the ceramic with fluorescent and opal additional porcelains supports highly individual and satisfying aesthetic results. It can also be individualized with Vita Akzent Plus and Interno stains.

Advantages
