The production process of dental wax blocks involves several steps, and the following is a detailed description of the production process:
First, raw material preparation
The production of dental wax blocks requires the preparation of corresponding raw materials. These raw materials may include natural paraffin wax, artificial paraffin wax, thermoplastic elastomers, stearic acid, thickeners, oil esters, stabilizers, food pigments, antibacterial agents, etc. The selection and proportion of these ingredients will vary depending on the specific use of the wax blocks, such as for making diagnostic waxes, bite waxes or other dental models.
Second, raw material mixing and heating
Mixing: The prepared raw materials are mixed evenly according to a certain proportion. This step requires ensuring that each raw material is sufficiently integrated to achieve the desired physical and chemical properties.
Heating: The mixed raw material is heated to the melting state. The temperature needs to be controlled during the heating process to avoid burning the raw material or producing harmful gases. At the same time, the heating temperature and time will also affect the final performance of the wax block.
Third, wax block molding
Wax injection: The molten wax solution is injected into the pre-designed mold. The shape and size of the mold will depend on the end use of the wax block.
Cooling curing: Let the wax liquid injected into the mold cool naturally or use a specific cooling method to cure. The cured wax block should have a stable shape and size.
Fourth, follow-up treatment
Finishing: Finishing the cured wax block as necessary to remove excess or adjust its shape and size.
Quality inspection: The quality of the repaired wax blocks is checked to ensure that they meet the predetermined standards and requirements.
Fifth, special processes (such as remelting casting)
For some types of dental wax blocks, such as the reuse of recycled waste wax, a special remelting casting process may also be required. This process involves remelting, mixing, shaking, molding and other steps of recycled waste wax chips to obtain wax blocks that can be used again.
Sixth, packaging and storage
Finally, the qualified wax blocks are packaged and stored in an appropriate environment to protect them from moisture, deformation or other damage.
Matters needing attention
In the production process, it is necessary to strictly control the process parameters of each link, such as temperature, time, raw material ratio, etc., to ensure the quality and performance of the wax block. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the health and safety of the production environment to avoid potential hazards to workers and patients.
The above information is based on the general manufacturing process for dental wax blocks, and details may vary by manufacturer and product type. For more detailed information, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer of dental wax blocks directly or consult relevant professional literature and materials.
