This was just what I needed to connect an older dental unit to our waterline. Ended up getting a few extra as backup.

Tuff-Temp ™ Plus cartridge by Pulpdent ® has an advanced rubberized-urethane chemisty that provides greater strength and dimensional stability for tighter fitting provisional restorations than acrylics and bis-acrylics. Minimize or eliminate breakage and debondings during crown and bridge procedures.
Product Features:
- Composite material grinds and powders, producing crisp and accurate margins without softening or distorting.
- When trimming with a slow-speed acrylic bur, fine grit diamond bur, or finishing/polishing disc bur it will provide greater results.
- Self-cures or light-cured. Fast light curing suited for use with a clear vinyl polysiloxane template.
- Tuff-Temp ™ Plus has high flexural strength without brittleness and is approximately 50% to 100% tougher than bis-acrylics.
- Tuff-Temp ™ Plus’s rubberized-urethane chemistry has a higher Tg and not affected by the heat of grinding and finishing, resulting in perfect margins and a better fit.
What is Tg and Why is it Important?
The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the temperature at which a polymer goes from a hard glass-like state to a rubber-like state. Bis-acrylics have a lower Tg than rubberized-urethane. Heat produced by grinding and finishing instruments softens bis-acrylic, distorting the margins and gums up finishing instruments.
Because a synthetic rubber molecule has been inserted into the diurethane dimethacrylate, a tougher, more impact resistant material has an increased dimensional stability. The provisional restoration fits tightly, stays on better and is more fracture resistant.
Includes: (1) 50 mL Tuff-Temp Plus cartridge and (10) applicator tips.
SHIPPING: This item special orders from our manufacturer. Please allow an additional 7-10 days handling time.
