Acrylux™ is the new advanced compound for high-speed polishing of dental acrylic and resin materials. Listed below are some of the key features and benefits that make Acrylux™ the choice of dental lab professionals.

Speed
Comparative lab testing has demonstrated that Acrylux™ produces the highest level of shine in the shortest amount of time of all competitive denture abrasives tested. In as little as 8 seconds, Acrylux™ can exceed the highest shine level attained by some popular pumice substitute products. For more information regarding Acrylux’s performance, please visit the technical information page of this site.

Higher Shine
Laboratory testing has demonstrated that Acrylux™ can attain a shine value that is higher than any of the competitive denture abrasive products tested. Using sophisticated light reflection measuring equipment, our Acrylux™ 1000 attained a reflective shine value of 89. This is equivalent to the reflective shine value of baked gloss enamel.

It’s Not Just Another Pumice Substitute
Acrylux’s unique particles make it different than other dental abrasives on the market today. We closely control the particle size distribution during manufacturing to optimize speed and surface finish during the denture polishing process. As the images to the right demonstrate, Acrylux’s particles are more uniform and dense than traditional pumice particles. The sharp edges of the Acrylux™ particles cut through dental acrylic and resin materials and produce a smoother finished surface. Pumice particles vary widely in size, shape and abrasiveness resulting in an uneven polished surface. To view samples of dental acrylic material polished with Acrylux™, click here.

No Crystalline Silica
Today more than ever, dental laboratories are focused on the safety of their employees' working environment. With increasing OSHA regulations, many labs are looking for products that are “green” and create a safer working environment. One of the key areas of focus is the removal of products containing “crystalline silica” from the dental lab environment. Crystalline silica has been identified by IARC (International Agency for Research of Cancer) as a “known carcinogen”. Acrylux™ is crystalline silica free. Many pumice substitutes on the market today contain crystalline silica. For labs concerned with improving the safety of their operation, Acrylux™ is the logical choice.

Improved Lab Productivity
Less time spent on the polishing wheel equates to more time available to produce dental appliances. Turnaround time and finished cases delivered are essential to most dental labs’ productivity. Acrylux™ significantly reduces the amount of time spent polishing dental appliances. Improve the productivity of your lab by using Acrylux™ today.

Lasts Longer
Acrylux’s unique particles won’t break down quickly like pumice. Longer polishing action means you won’t be continuously adding and replacing product. This results in less product usage and cost savings for your lab operation.

Easier on the Hands
Every lab technician who has used pumice in the past knows it can be very tough on the hands. The porous nature of pumice has a tendency to absorb oil out of the technician’s hands making them very dry. In addition, the jagged edges of the pumice particles have a tendency to make tiny cuts in the hands causing rawness and irritation. Acrylux’s unique particles are denser, less porous, and much easier on the hands than pumice.

Superior Performance on Nylon Resins
Most lab technicians agree that polishing many of the nylon denture resins can be very difficult and time consuming. Acrylux™ can assist in greatly reducing the amount of time and effort spent polishing nylon resins. Test have shown that Acrylux™ provides a smoother finished surface in much less time than competitive pumice & pumice substitute products. Acrylux™ works so well it is even endorsed for use by Valplast International Corporation as a superior abrasive for initial polishing of Valplast^® appliances.

Innovative Packaging
Acrylux’s innovative new packaging allows the dental technician to keep and store their dental abrasive right on the workbench, not under it. Our 12-LB size allows you to just flip and pour. It’s that easy. Acrylux™ is available in 2-LB and 12-LB jars, and for labs looking for the most economical package, we also offer it in 50-LB bag-in-box containers.

Available in Two Grades to Meet Your Polishing Needs
Acrylux™ is available in two grades that replace the majority of pumice & pumice substitutes on the market today.

	Engineered to replace Coarse Grade Pumice & Pumice Substitutes.
	Engineered to replace Medium & Fine Grade Pumice & Pumice Substitutes.
