Properties
1. Flow: flow % requirements for ADA sp no 4
Type of inlay 30 37 40 45
wax Max Max Min Max Min Max
www.indiandentalacademy.com
2. Thermal properties
- Thermal conductivity
- Coefficient of thermal expansion
may expand 0.7% with an increase in
0
in temperature of 20 C
and contract as much as 0.35% when it is
cooled from 370 C to 250 C
- Average co-efficient of thermal expansion:
-6 0
350 x 10 /C

3.Wax distortion
- Elastic memory
This can result from thermal changes,release of stresses
on cooling,time and temperature during storage etc.
Other desirable properties of inlay waxes include:
- Color
- Residue
ADA sp no 4 requires that the melted wax when
vaporized at 5000C shall leave behind no solid residue
in excess of 0.10% of the original weight of the
specimen.
