HeraCeram® NP-Primer
For processing HeraCeram on NPM alloys
Veneer with confidence, even on non-precious metal: Our HeraCeram NP-Primer ensures a reliable metal-ceramic-bond and long-lasting ceramic veneering on NPM frameworks.
The HeraCeram NP-Primer was developed for the optimal condition of NPM alloy surfaces for veneering with HeraCeram and HeraCeramSun. It conditions non-precious metal alloy surfaces by preventing uncontrolled excessive oxidation and thus ensures that the framework surface is wetted perfectly with the opaquer. This increases the quality and certainty of the success of the veneer, even in critical initial situations. Even a skin-thick layer will achieve full efficacy.
Specification legend
Explanation of abbreviations and numbering:

1 Inlays, cervical filling
2 MOD Inlays
3 Crowns
4 Bridges
5 Milling technique
6 Partial dentures
10 Cast posts
14 Can be veneered with high expansion, low-fusing ceramics

Abbreviations:
w = after soft annealing and quenching
k = ceramic bonding alloy: condition after ceramic firing
v = after hardening
s = self-hardening after slow cooling in the mould
A = A stable framework design with reinforced connections with a cross section of 8 - 10 mm² is required for long span bridges and superstructures. Additionally, the frameworks need to be hardened.
B = Depending on the copper content, in some cases discolouration ofdouble crowns may result after short period of wearing. Discolouration, however, is technically and physiologically harmless.
C = In exceptional cases these alloys can also be used for traditional telescopic crowns with parallel walls and for the bar casting technique provided that cross-sections for crown walls, approximal areas, bars and laser welded joints are particularly thick and the alloy is hardened subsequently. No indication for conical crowns and sheardistributors.
Please observe instructions for use included during delivery when processing of the alloy!
