5 Contraindications
• Do not use in the case of a known allergy
to one of the components.
6 Warnings
• Liquid: Contains methyl methacrylate,
tetramethylene dimethacrylate.
• Hazard. Liquid and vapour readily inammable. Causes skin irritation. May cause
allergic skin reactions. May irritate airways.
• Powder: Contains benzoyl peroxide. May
cause allergic skin reactions. Harmful to
aquatic organisms, with long-term effects.
7 Safety instructions
• Liquid: Keep away from heat/sparks/open
ames/hot surfaces. No smoking. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/
equipment. Avoid breathing vapours/spray.
IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately
all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin
withwater [or shower]. Store locked up. Dispose of contents/container in accordance
with local/regional/national/international
regulations.
• Powder: avoid release to the Environment.
8 Interactions with other medicinal
products
The dentist should consider known interactions and cross-reactions of the medical
product with other materials already in the
patient's mouth before using the product.
9 Application / Preparation
9.1 Mixing ratio
• 2.5 parts by weight powder, 1 part by
weight liquid. For a total prosthesis 25 g
powder and 10 g liquid are needed.
• Veins can be included, if desired.
• Please observe separate manufacturer’s
instructions.
9.2 Production of partial and full dentures
as well as implant-borne appliances
and model casting completions using
the ow techniques
9.2.1 Preparatory work
Produce the plaster cast and wax-up of the
teeth as usual.
The fabricated tooth set in wax is secured
with plaster or silicone (matrix/ask).
The wax is then eliminated as usual.
To prevent articial teeth from breaking off,
they must be roughened, have undercuts
made, and be wetted with monomer or a
suitable bonder.
The surfaces of the plaster models are
separated with an alginate separating agent
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
9.2.2 Production using the ow technique
After adding the powder to the liquid, FINO-
HIT HOTBASE is homogeneously spatulated
in a mixing cup for 30 seconds.
After a dough dwelling time of approx.
10 min. the acrylic dough is ready for
processing.
After the dwelling time, it must be kneaded
for approx. 30 seconds. The processing time
at approx. 21°C is approx. 30-40 minutes.
In viscoplastic consistency FINOHIT
HOTBASE is added to the prepared ask
and pressed.
The pressing pressure must be maintained
for approx. 15 minutes.
Secure the ask in a clamp for polymerisation.
Polymerize the acrylic BH in the closed ask
with a clamp for 20 min. in boiling water (or in
the pressure pot at 95°C). Allow the ask to
cool to room temperature in the stirrup, then
deask in the usual way
9.3 Production of splints
9.3.1 Preparatory work
Produce a plaster model (cast) and block out
with suitable materials
Model the splint in wax as desired. Next,
make an
impression, create ow channels, and
remove wax.
Separate the surface of the plaster model
using suitable materials according to manu-
facturer’s instructions.
9.3.2 Processing
After adding the powder to the liquid,
FINOHIT HOTBASE is homogeneously
spatulated in a mixing cup for 30 seconds.
After a dough dwelling time of approx.
10 min. the acrylic dough is ready for
processing.
Mold the acrylic onto the model and close
the ask. Then x in the clamp and press. In
viscoplastic consistency FINOHIT HOTBASE
is added to the prepared ask and pressed.
The pressing pressure must be maintained
for approx. 15 minutes.
Secure the ask in a clamp for polymerisation.
Polymerize the acrylic BH in the closed ask
with a clamp for 20 min. in boiling water (or in
the pressure pot at 95°C). Allow the ask to
cool to room temperature in the stirrup, then
deask in the usual way.

9.4 Finishing the material
After polymerisation, the splint is lifted
from the model and nished using suitable
instruments.
Silicone polishers (square-edge or knifeedge wheels or cylinders), tungsten carbide
burrs and diamond instruments are suitable
for nishing. Pre-polish with sandpaper or
pumice powder.
The polymerisation time in a pressure polym-
erisation device is 15 min., at a pressure of
2 - 5 bar and a water temperature of 45°C.
9.5 Polishing
The material is polished with goat bristle
brushes, polishing paste and soft cotton
wool discs.
Careful surface nishing and polishing is
necessary for an optimal result.
9.6 Repairs
Repairs can be made with cold-curing
polymers according to manufacturer’s in-
structions. Before applying the acrylic dough,
the fractured surfaces must be roughened,
cleaned and wetted with monomer. The
polymerisation time in a pressure polymeri-
sation device is 15 min., at a pressure of
2 - 5 bar and a water temperature of 45°C.
Please observe separate manufacturer’s
instructions.
