AtraLAY

Inlay Pattern Resin

   

AtraLAY is a self-curing pattern resin which inclu­des an acrylic powder and a liquid (monomer). Its low shrinkage provides perfect adaptation and ac­curate reproduction. In application, the powder and liquid are mixed in appropriate ratios and used for molding and making patterns. Mixing of the powder and the liquid provides a form-able paste which will get rigid and keep its shape after it is applied on the inten­ded place. The mold is then fabricated using this pattern.

AtraLAY resin can be used in different patterning procedures e.g. brush and implant techniques. Among other applications of this resin, we can name:

- Making inlays, onlays and Maryland bridges
- Modeling of bars and clasps in partial dentures
- Making jig and core in implant technique
- Splinting for soldering procedure

    

Instruction for use in Brush technique

Dispense appropriate amounts of the powder and liquid into the separate silicone cups which are provided with Atra LAY. Wet the brush with the liquid and take the excess liquid from the brush by pushing it against the inner wall of the cup. Then dip the brush into the powder and pick up a small amount of AtraLAY powder. At this stage the powder and the liquid are mixed and form a paste on the tip of the brush. Apply this paste on the intended place (root canal, crown, etc.) and repeat the procedure to form the desired pattern. Working time will be 2 to 3 minutes and the setting time is about 4 to 5 minutes. AtraLAY become rigid after polymerization. You may then trim it using appropriate tools. The molded pattern is now ready to be used for the further laboratory operations (molding, cas­ting, etc.)

Storage conditions

• Keep AtraLAY at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Keeping the liquid (monomer) in refrigerator increases its shelf life.
• Keep the powder and liquid containers
• closed after use.
• Do not use AtraLAY after expiration
