Why Choose a 120 °C Dental Pressure Polymerizer?
A pressure polymerizer with a maximum temperature of 95 °C is suitable for many conventional dental resin applications. The Dreve Polymax 1 120 °C is intended for dental laboratories seeking additional temperature capacity for more advanced polymerization procedures.
Its operating range of up to 120 °C provides greater flexibility when processing certain technical dental resins, materials requiring higher curing temperatures or polymerization cycles demanding accurate thermal control.
This increased versatility allows dental technicians to perform routine pressure polymerization procedures while retaining the temperature capacity required for more demanding materials.
Advantages of High-Temperature Dental Resin Polymerization
High-temperature polymerization enables dental laboratories to perform more specialised processing protocols than conventional curing cycles. When a dental resin requires temperatures above 95 °C, the Polymax 1 120 °C provides the additional thermal capacity needed to follow the material manufacturer's recommendations.
Temperature Capacity up to 120 °C
The ability to reach 120 °C supports a wider range of processing protocols, particularly for selected technical dental resins and advanced thermal curing cycles.
Greater Laboratory Versatility
The same equipment can be used for conventional dental resins and more demanding applications requiring higher processing temperatures.
Improved Cycle Control
The combination of pressure, temperature and timer settings helps standardise polymerization procedures and reduce variations between successive curing cycles.
Technical Dental Resins Suitable for Polymerization Cycles up to 120 °C
The Polymax 1 120 °C is particularly useful for dental laboratories working with several categories of dental resins. It can be used for heat-curing resins, cold-curing resins, denture repairs, denture bases, temporary restorations, relining procedures and materials requiring controlled pressure polymerization.
A temperature of 120 °C should not be used routinely for every material. It must only be selected when specified or recommended by the resin manufacturer. The main advantage of this version is its ability to accommodate higher-temperature protocols without the restrictions of a lower maximum operating temperature.
Heat-Curing Dental Resins
For resins requiring controlled thermal processing, the Polymax 1 120 °C provides a stable temperature and pressure environment throughout the polymerization cycle.
Technical Dental Resins
Certain specialised resins may require higher temperatures to achieve the hardness, dimensional stability and material properties specified by their manufacturers.
Denture Repairs and Relining
Pressure helps reduce the formation of microbubbles and promotes more homogeneous, denser repaired areas, making subsequent finishing procedures easier.
Applications Requiring Precise Finishing
Properly polymerized resin is generally easier to finish and polish, helping minimise visible defects in thin or highly stressed areas.
Improving Dental Resin Stability with Polymerization Temperatures up to 120 °C
The stability of a dental resin depends on following the correct polymerization protocol. When a material requires a higher curing temperature, equipment capable of reaching 120 °C allows the prescribed processing cycle to be completed without compromises caused by temperature limitations.
Combined with stable pressure, controlled temperature promotes a more homogeneous resin structure with reduced porosity and improved consistency. These advantages may become apparent during polishing, fitting and final inspection of dental prostheses.
Additional Thermal Capacity for Demanding Materials
The ability to reach 120 °C allows dental technicians to follow advanced processing protocols without being restricted by a lower maximum temperature. It also provides greater flexibility for laboratories working with different resin systems.
- Reduced porosity through pressure polymerization.

Aesthetic Finishing
Resins with reduced porosity can provide cleaner, more consistent results during trimming, grinding and polishing procedures.
Why a 120 °C Operating Temperature Provides Greater Versatility
The main difference compared with a 95 °C version is the additional temperature capacity. This does not replace the resin manufacturer's instructions, but allows dental laboratories to perform higher-temperature cycles whenever required by the material.
This flexibility is particularly valuable for laboratories that do not want to restrict their work to conventional dental resins. With the Polymax 1 120 °C, technicians can more easily adapt polymerization cycles to different materials while retaining the advantages of pressure curing: improved density, greater homogeneity and reduced porosity.
