• BASEPLATE WAX - A pink or red colored rectangular wax sheet made of paraffin, microcrystalline wax and resin.
• APPLICATIONS - Our Baseplate Wax is commonly used for the purposes of: building trial plates for the arrangement of artificial dentures, inlay patterning, boxing of impression, casting, establishing the arch form and the level of occlusal plane, recording the maxillary mandibular relation, corrective impression, and bite registration. For initial modeling and later fitting of trial dentures (try-ins) before the finished product is completed.
• EASY TO USE - Easy to form and carve, resists flaking or chipping during carving and boils out cleanly. Rigid at mouth temperature but able to be molded at higher temperatures without cracking or tearing. Leaves no residue upon boiling out.
Product Description
Carmel Baseplate Wax is a dental wax composed mainly of paraffin, microcrystalline wax, resin, and discreet color-matching choices. This wax is relatively hard and slightly brittle at room temperature but becomes soft and pliable when heated. It is used to establish the initial arch form in making trial plates for the arrangement of artificial denture teeth and the construction of complete dentures.
10 Formulas classed by 4 Levels of Hardness
Carmel has four rigidities of baseplate wax: Soft, Medium, Hard, and Extra Hard. Having a wide range of Baseplate waxes ensures we can meet all industry requirements while maintaining different degrees of performance.
Soft Baseplate Wax
The softer waxes are suitable for low temperatures but may flow excessively at high temperatures.

Medium Baseplate Wax
Medium hardness can be used during all seasons and is our most popular category of Baseplate Waxes.
• Universal
• Extra tough
• Pink #2 All Season
• Tenacious (Bulldog)
• Easy Form (Truform)
• Set-Up Wax
Universal

Set-Up Wax
• MEDIUM HARDNESS WAX - Holds dentures firmly in place and is ideal for partial prostheses. It becomes tacky when warmed due to its small range (<5%) of melting points. Resists distortion and does not allow runniness or droplet formation.
• COLOR & PACKAGING - Available in Salmon Pink. Packaged in 5 lbs boxes.
Baseplate Wax Hard
The more rigid varieties are suitable for warm climates but tend to crack and flake at low temperatures.
• #100
