Request Information

Aron Alpha Type 203MTX-1R is a one componet (requires no mixing), humidity cure, thixotropic, high viscosity instant adhesive with gap filling ability.  It has a redish-pink appearance making it easy to detect on the bonding substrates.

Type 203MTX-1R is designed specifically for the Dental Laboratory Die and Model applications.  It can be used with Aron Alpha Setters and Accelerators to speed curing of layers of 203MTX-1R on Detnal Lab Dies or for creating fillets across gaps.

Applications

  • Die, model and base correction or modification
  • Coating and sealing dies
  • Stabilizing abutment segments to eliminate die movement
  • Building up dies/replacing spacers
  • Filling undercuts and voids in dies
  • Setting dowel pins in oversized holes
