Hard Pour acrylic by Snow Rock

[Tylen]

Hi, I've been looking for a high quality high impact pourable acrylic. I was trying to see if anyone has tried Hard Pour acrylic by Snow Rock and what was your experience with it.
It is advertised on their website as:

• Highest impact strength and quality pourable on the market
• Excellent liquid-like flowability - extremely easy to handle and pour
• Top thermal color stability
• Fits better than the leading competitor

We are doing fine with Fricke pour right now. Hard Pour is definitely more expensive (double the price) but i'm willing to switch if it has better durability and strength.
Thanks!

SnowRock is a known great brand of acrylic, I have never and will never use the pour technique so, I have no experience with it. I realize my answer wasn't helpful, but it may bump your question up the que.

I'm very curious about Diamond D pour and will be switching as soon as supply of Lucitone HIPA depletes, whither better or not.

You can go to their website and request a free sample. We gave a sample a try it was a nice material .

we use SR but not the pour acrylic. we inject everything. far superior to pour technique IMHO

Thank you so much for all your reponses. As for the techniques, I agree pour is less superior than packing and injection. I feel like everything in life has good side and bad side to it, pros and cons. I did traded time for quality using the pour technique, but at this moment i'm not willling or convinced to switch to other techniques yet unless it is a problem with my clients. i dont know about other techs, i personally pour faster than i pack or inject.

If anyone else has tried Hard Pour by Snow Rock, I'm still looking out for more reviews

Pour = Poor

We also use Snowrock but we inject it as well. Definitely a good acrylic, on par with Diamond D if not better since it's injected.

They do provide free samples so maybe you should give them a call. Their support is also really helpful.

For my discerning docs I inject. For the ones that do slop work I pour.

@Doris A I'm poor, it's fact lol
@Denture Dude that's how it should be done imo
@PRO ARTS DL I just ordered 1lbs+liquid, only gonna use it for that one pickiest Dr and see how he likes it.

We inject Diamond D with the Success unit for partials. Full dentures are Ivocap injected. Super rush flippers are packed and microwave cured. We don't pour anything. Y'all know how I feel about that!

Curious, when they send partials back for add a tooth do you inject those as well?

I not seeing anything about not warping in the statement above except it fits better than the leading pour acrylic and possibly doesn't warp/shrink as much... The thought gives me nightmares lol...

I was talking about new cases. Repairs are done in the pressure pot using Ivoclar probase cold.

The answer is you gotta have a big toolbox.
If some of you are not trying out the newer generation (post2016) pour acrylics, your missing out.

 

[Doris A]

I'll just have to miss out.

I used SR pour for a while. I liked how it didnt thicken up while I poured it loke other brands. It looked great. Doctors didnt have any negative feedback.
Only reason I stopped was due to a few things.
-Long baclorder at the time.
-price was High
-color of the original shade acrylic was too transparent for my taste.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, that helps! May I ask what brand are using now for pour?

 

[Denturion]

Nature-cryl pour. It starts to thicken quick as son as I mix the powder and liquid together. So I just add more liquid than recomended.
It says 14ml:20g I do 18ml:20g
