7. Immediately set a timer (not included) for the minutes necessary for
injection:
FIG 9
Unbreakable™:
550°F for 11 min
iFlex™:
450°F for 13 min
Karadent™:
560°F for 16-17 min
After specified melt time, TCS resin is ready to be injected.
8. When the resin is ready for injection carefully remove the cylinder
from the furnace and transfer to the injector by keeping the cylinder
in a horizontal position
FIG 10
until you lean it over the sprue opening
of the flask
FIG 10a
,
you can then bring it to vertical position and
proceed to inject
FIG 10b
.
9. Allow the injection to compress for at least 3 minutes prior to
removal.
Note:
BE ACCURATE with melting time as it is crucial to the end result.
After injection purge the melting cylinder:
Insert cylinder into knock out stand and
purge using the knock out rod. For best
results, this should be done
while the mechanisms are still hot.
If change in temperature is needed:
FIG 11
Simply press UP arrow to increase temperature and DOWN arrow to
reduce temperature (desired temperature indicated in green). Always
wait until the green and red numbers match each other prior to use.

chamber clean. When the unit is cold wipe in an up-

residue stuck to it, with the unit cold, use a scouring
sponge to lightly scrap off residue and then wipe
down with a soft damp cloth.
