SEO highlight
Choose Ivoclar IPS Style powder opaquer for uniform masking, stable shade reproduction and a more predictable metal-ceramic layering workflow.
Lab tip
Work in two steps: 1 very fluid “wash opaque” for bonding, then 1 covering layer for complete masking.
Brush Airbrush Thin layers Uniform masking
Key benefits — IPS Style Opaquer
- Effective masking of the metal framework for a clean base shade.
- Adjustable viscosity: brush or airbrush application to match your workflow.
- Stable base to reduce touch-ups and improve visual consistency.
- Designed to integrate into the IPS Style Ceram firing and layering sequence.
Applications & instructions — powder opaquer
Dental applications
- Metal-ceramic crowns and bridges: framework opacification.
- Creation of a uniform base shade before dentin/incisal layering.
- Local correction of show-through (thin-layer touch-ups).
Good practice: validate alloy compatibility (CTE) and your furnace parameters before batch production.
Procedure (lab summary)
- Mix the powder with IPS Style opaquer liquid to the desired viscosity.
- Apply a first very fluid layer (“wash opaque”) on a clean framework.
- Fire the first layer, then apply a more covering, pastier layer.
- Fire the second layer: the surface should look satin and fully mask the metal.
- Steam-clean before layering the next ceramic masses.
Safety: use suction + mask; avoid inhaling ceramic dust.

FAQ — IPS Style® Powder Opaquer
What is IPS Style powder opaquer used for?
It is used to mask the metal framework.
It creates a uniform base shade.
It improves predictability before layering the next ceramic masses.
It should be applied in thin layers to avoid excessive thickness and defects.

What is the right consistency for application?
First layer: very fluid (“wash opaque”).
Second layer: more covering.
Adjust using the opaquer liquid to obtain a stable paste.
For airbrushing, keep a fluid viscosity suitable for your spray device.

Why can the opaque layer crack after firing?
Common causes are a layer that is too thick, residual moisture, or surface contamination.
Always apply thin, even coats.
Make sure the framework is clean, dry and conditioned according to protocol.
Follow the recommended drying and heating ramp parameters.

How do you achieve uniform masking without excessive thickness?
Use two firings: a fluid bonding layer, then a covering layer.
Cross your brush/airbrush strokes for uniformity.
Correct locally instead of overloading the full surface.
Check for a satin finish, which is a good sign of proper firing.
