Dreve Korasilon – Silicone Grease for Dental Pressure Polymerizer, Pressure Pot and Thermoforming Machine Seals
Dreve Korasilon silicone grease is designed for maintaining rubber sealing gaskets used in dental pressure polymerizers, pressure pots and dental thermoforming machines. It helps preserve gasket flexibility, maintain effective sealing and reduce premature deterioration.
In dental laboratories, sealing gaskets are exposed to heat, pressure, vacuum, repeated opening and closing cycles, and mechanical friction. Regular maintenance with a suitable silicone-based lubricant helps preserve equipment performance and reduce the risk of pressure or vacuum leaks.
Supplied in a convenient 35 g tube, Korasilon is applied as a thin, even film to clean sealing gaskets, providing a practical solution for preventive maintenance of professional dental laboratory equipment.
Silicone Grease Designed to Help Extend the Service Life of Sealing Gaskets
Dreve Korasilon is a straightforward yet important maintenance product for dental laboratory equipment that depends on reliable sealing performance. A dry, hardened or cracked gasket may cause ineffective closure, pressure loss, vacuum leakage or accelerated wear of contacting components.
Regular application of a thin layer of silicone grease helps maintain the gasket surface, reduce mechanical friction and preserve the flexibility of compatible rubber seals.
This preventive maintenance is particularly valuable for dental pressure polymerizers, pressure pots and thermoforming machines used regularly in professional dental laboratories.
Why Is Regular Seal Maintenance Important in Dental Laboratories?
Sealing gaskets in dental laboratory equipment undergo repeated cycles of heating, pressure, vacuum, compression and release. Over time, these operating conditions can contribute to rubber deterioration and reduced elasticity.
As a gasket loses flexibility, it may no longer conform effectively to the mating surfaces. This can reduce sealing performance, cause leaks or require additional closing force.
Regular maintenance using a compatible silicone grease helps preserve reliable closure and may reduce the need for premature gasket replacement.
A Simple Maintenance Procedure to Preserve Pressure, Vacuum and Sealing Performance
Whether fitted to a pressure pot, pressure polymerizer or thermoforming machine, the sealing gasket plays an essential role in equipment operation. It must remain flexible, clean and appropriately lubricated to provide effective sealing.
Korasilon forms a protective lubricating film on the gasket surface. This film helps reduce friction, protect compatible rubber materials against drying and maintain more consistent sealing performance.
Only a small quantity is required. The objective is to lubricate the sealing surface with a thin film, not to saturate the gasket with grease.

Recommended Application of Dreve Korasilon Silicone Grease
Weekly application is generally sufficient for many dental laboratory devices, although maintenance frequency should be adjusted according to the intensity of use, operating temperature, gasket condition and equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Before application, the gasket must be clean and dry. Apply a very small amount of Korasilon to the sealing surface and distribute it evenly to form a thin, uniform lubricating film.
Applying excessive grease is unnecessary. An overly thick layer can attract dust, resin residues and other particles, making maintenance less effective and potentially contaminating the sealing area.
How to Apply Dreve Korasilon – Recommended Maintenance Procedure
- Switch off the equipment if necessary and allow the sealing area to become safe and accessible.
- Clean the gasket to remove dust, residues, old grease and any accumulated particles.
- Dry the gasket surface thoroughly.
- Apply a small quantity of Dreve Korasilon silicone grease.
- Spread the product evenly to create a very thin film across the relevant gasket surface.
- Avoid excessive application, particularly around lid closure and sealing areas.
- Close the equipment and check that the gasket is correctly positioned.
- Check for pressure loss, vacuum leakage or other sealing issues, depending on the equipment.
- Repeat the application according to the frequency of equipment use and maintenance requirements.
- Replace the gasket if cracks, deformation or loss of elasticity are detected.
Why Avoid Petroleum Jelly on Dental Pressure Polymerizer Seals?
Petroleum jelly and certain petroleum-based lubricants are not suitable for every type of rubber gasket used in dental laboratory equipment. Depending on the elastomer material, they may contribute to swelling, deterioration, changes in elasticity or premature hardening.
A damaged or hardened gasket may no longer compress correctly against the sealing surface, potentially causing pressure loss, vacuum leakage or inconsistent equipment closure.
Korasilon is a silicone-based lubricant intended for maintaining compatible technical sealing gaskets. It provides a dedicated maintenance option without relying on an unsuitable petroleum-based grease. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations and verify material compatibility before use.
Application Precautions
- Apply only to a clean, dry sealing gasket.
- Use a very small quantity of silicone grease.
- Avoid thick layers that may attract dust and residues.
- Do not apply to unverified or incompatible materials without checking compatibility.
- Follow the equipment manufacturer's maintenance instructions.
Sealing Gasket Inspection
- Regularly inspect gasket flexibility.
- Check for cracks, cuts, compression damage and deformation.
- Replace the gasket if it no longer returns to its original shape.
- Monitor the equipment for pressure or vacuum leaks.
- Adjust lubrication frequency according to equipment usage.
