Aside from coffee, tea, and tobacco I don't think so.

Even that stuff polishes right off.

Anyone have any experience using Acetal for temps? I know it's strong, mills nice but not sure about the availability to get tooth shades.

There's certain to be blends I haven't seen, but ones I have are not that highly accurate enough I'd want to make anteriors out of them. Aside from the monochromaticism.

Zirlux acetal has many shades. It mills really well.

Looked into the product, Acetal has a fracture resistance that is about 40% stronger than PMMA. The material tends to bend before breaking. PMMA is far more brittle.
We now have Zirlux Acetal in several shades. I think A1, A2, A3 a bleach shade and a couple of others. When milling, it comes out of the disc almost polished. Mills Easily.
Tom, nice work, what is the pink material?
Thanks
