Spruing: Following the rules for dental applications (see General Instructions for Use)
Investment: Phosphate-bonded investment materials 
Preheating: 700 °C, 30 to 90 mins until end temperature, depending on size of mould
Casting: 1275°C – possibly increase by 20°C–30°C for resistance-heated casting units. Use ceramic crucible (graphite crucibles also possible)
Finishing: With carbide burs and/or ceramic-bonded stones. Always grind in one direction only! Sandblasting at a flat angle, using 110–150 µm aluminium oxide. Pressure should not exceed 2 bar
Cleaning: Steam jet cleaning or boiling in distilled water
Oxide firing: 10 mins at 800°C without vacuum. Afterwards, always clean in a preheated acid bath, e.g. Neacid, (for 10 mins) or sandblast with 50–110 µm aluminium oxide. Pressure should not exceed 2 bar. Clean thoroughly with a steam jet
Soldering before firing: Orplid Ceramic solder CF 950
Soldering after firing: Orplid solder CF 720
Firing: For highly expanding ceramic materials
