CHROMECAST-XL is a phosphate-bonded
high-heat investment specially developed to cast partials
in chrome-cobalt alloys. It is made from the same high quality
binder materials as those used in our world-famous micro-fine
crown and bridge investment, STARVEST,
and under the very same standards of manufacturing process
and quality control which have made STARVEST the favorite
investment of many thousands of labs around the world.
CHROMECAST-XL is less coarse
than similar investments. It mixes to a nice and creamy texture
and has longer working time ( 4 to 6 minutes ). It achieves
strength very quickly which allows casting ring placement
into even hot burn-out ovens. Batch-to-batch consistency,
and accuracy provided by the fine texture of the investment
is an important property of Chromecast.
It can also be used for other castings
in gold, palladium, platinum, and non-precious alloys when
it is used with special liquid. The selective use of the special
liquid provides controlled expansion required for other applications
such as crown & bridge castings.
