Ivoclar Vivadent IPS Empress Esthetic Speed - Manual (Page 2)

2
The phosphate-bonded IPS Empress ® Esthetic Speed investment material (Type 1, Class 2) is used for the
pressing of IPS Empress Esthetic ingots in the Ivoclar Vivadent Programat press furnaces.
Indication
Investing models (wax, modelling resin) in preparation of the pressing procedure with IPS Empress Esthetic
ingots.
Contraindication
All other applications not listed in the indications.
Delivery form
– IPS Empress Esthetic Speed Powder, 25 bags, 100 g each, including 1 measuring cup
– IPS Empress Esthetic Speed Liquid, 0.5 litre
Storage
– Storage at 12–28 °C / 54–82 °F
– Store powder in a dry place.
– The liquid must not be exposed to temperatures below +5°C / 41 °F (frost susceptible!). If frozen once,
the liquid is unusable (crystallization) and must not be used anymore.
Processing temperatures
– Room temperature 18 °C – max. 23 °C / 64 °F – max. 73 °F
– Any other processing temperature decisively affects the setting behaviour.
– A higher processing temperature accelerates the setting behaviour.
– A lower processing temperature delays the setting behaviour.
Investment ring system and press plunger
The IPS Empress Esthetic investment ring system (ring base, ring gauge, silicone ring) and the Alox plunger /
One-Way-Plunger are coordinated with IPS Empress Esthetic. Components of different systems are not
compatible. Use therefore only components of this system.
Mixing ratio 100 g powder : 27 ml diluted liquid
Indication
Concentration
approx.
100-g investment ring
Liquid : dist. water
200-g investment ring
Liquid : dist. water
Inlay MO + OD 50% 13.5 ml : 13.5 ml 27 ml : 27 ml
Inlays MOD 60% 16 ml : 11 ml 32 ml : 22 ml
Veneers 50% 13.5 ml : 13.5 ml 27 ml : 27 ml

The indications regarding the liquid concentration are approximates and may be adjusted, if required. The
total quantity of liquid (liquid + dist. water) must not be altered. Do not dilute the liquid to below 50%.
Processing
Excess of separating agents may cause reactions with the investment material and affect the press result.
Disperse excess material with compressed air before investment.
– Fill liquid into the mixing cup.
– Add powder.
– Thoroughly mix investment material with a spatula for 20 seconds until even wetting of the powder is
achieved.
