[QUOTE="Patrick Coon, post: 331086, member: 11366"] Hello, Ivocolor is a versatile system. It can be used many ways for many things. Yes, you can apply the glaze to the restoration and then blend the shades or stains into it and fire. You can also apply shades and stains, do a firing to set everything and then glaze. You can mix the shades and stains into the glaze to create colored glazes. Like the e.max essence the Ivocolor Essence is a powder as well that you mix with liquid before applying and can be mixed with a variety of liquids depending on whether you want to apply them internally as you are stacking (mix with build-up liquid or water) or when mixed with it's mixing liquid it can be kept in a stain pallet and used for shading a staining as normal. It has an ultra low firing temp when used on all ceramic restorations (zirconia, e.max, empress, etc.) of 710C so you can mix and match the restorations going into a glaze cycle. When firing on Metal ceramics, you raise the firing temp to about 30 degrees below the normal firing temp of the glaze you would normally use, with a max temp for Ivocolor of about 830C. While we only test it on our materials, there is no reason it can't be used with competitor products. The consistency of the mixed shade and glaze pastes is different than both empress and e.max. Ivocolor is much thicker (meaning you get more product -instead of water-in the same weight of material). this means you will have to dilute it prior to use. You can leave the glaze a little thicker to easily add to a contact or adjust a line angle, and unlike e.max Ceram and empress glaze, it does not have the tendency to get a milky haze when applied too thick. I find that the Ivocolor goes on very smoothly without the graininess that some people find in e.max Ceram stains. It does take a couple days to get used to getting the right consistency, but once you do I think you will really like the material. Yes, I work for Ivoclar, but even if I didn't, I would tell you it's the nicest, most versatile stain and glaze system I've used in my 33 years in the lab. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
