AP Chroma Stains
AP Chroma Stains are universal and compatible with all major porcelain systems available in the market, including Porcelain fused to Metal, Porcelain fused to Zirconia, and Full Zirconia frames. They are suitable for both internal and external staining, allowing for the creation of even the most challenging color effects. With the AP Dental Chroma Stain shades A,B,C,D the desired chroma shade can be achieved for the "Classic" or the "Zircon" ingot.
These stains are low fusing and fluorescent paste stains. This paste material can be applied in very thin layers in order to achieve the most difficult color effects.
For pressable ceramics, paste stains are recommended. Depending on the effect, 1-2 glaze cycles are recommended. The Low Fusing paste stain enables a nice surface texture and shine at 760 Celsius (1400 Fahrenheit).
Using conventional layering techniques, natural color could only be achieved by the most skilled and experienced technicians.
The AP System allows you to recreate those same effects by making the best selection of stains available.
