| Hot embedding
resins are extremely hard, acid-resistant and low shrinkage. They reduce
sweating and guarantee clean edges when polishing. Hot embedding resins
are available in powder form and are divided into two categories:
- thermoresistant (phenolic or allylic)
- thermoplastic (acrylic or epoxy) |
