The ability of Titan to reduce surface tension on tact with the impression also helps to reduce tears and air blows, therefore improving the casting reliability of models. Titan's accuracy is complemented by its superior surface hardness and strength contrasted by the fact that it is not brittle. This is essential when casting bridge work. It also displays high abrasion resistance when in contact with metal/porcelain. Titan has the following advantages: Fine particled, smooth textured diestone Thixotropic qualities allow the stone to be repeatedly stacked and flowed to achieve maximum contact with the impression Dense matrix virtually eliminates air bubbles Superior hardness and high abrasion resistance when in contact with metal/porcelain Superior strength when removing thin dies
