Ruthinium Pink Opaque – self-curing pink opaquer for stellite frameworks and metal structures
Ruthinium Pink Opaque is a pink opaquer for metal structures designed to mask stellite grids, frameworks and metal components before coverage with gingival acrylic resin.
Its high covering power helps neutralise the grey colour of metal and create a more uniform, natural-looking pink base before prosthetic finishing.

A Ruthinium pink opaquer to mask stellite frameworks before acrylic resin
Ruthinium Pink Opaque is used in dental laboratories to improve the appearance of gingival areas when metal may show through under the acrylic resin.
It creates a covering pink base on metal frameworks, especially stellite grids, helping to achieve a more uniform transition between the metal structure and the gingival acrylic resin.
Its powder and monomer presentation allows preparation immediately before use, with thin brush application and self-curing setting without firing.
Dental applications
Ruthinium Pink Opaque is suitable for cases where the laboratory needs to visually mask metal before acrylic resin finishing.
- Masking stellite grids before acrylic resin coverage.
- Opacifying metal frameworks in removable prosthetics.
- Aesthetic preparation of metallic gingival areas.
- Metal-acrylic work requiring a uniform pink base.
- Improving the transition between metal and acrylic resin.
- Reducing the grey effect visible under gingival acrylic resin.
Benefits in the laboratory
The product helps the dental technician obtain a more aesthetic and consistent base before layering or finishing the gingival resin.
- High covering power: effectively masks the grey colour of metal.
- Pink shade: promotes a more natural integration with gingival resin.
- Metal-acrylic bonding: improves bonding on properly prepared metal.
- Simple application: brush application in a thin layer.
- Self-curing: sets without firing, practical for laboratory use.
- Complete kit: 15 g powder and 60 ml monomer.
Mask the grey shade of stellite for a more aesthetic gingival base
Metal structures, especially stellite grids, can create a greyish effect visible under gingival acrylic resin. Ruthinium Pink Opaque provides a covering intermediate layer to neutralise this shade and improve the final appearance.
The pink shade creates a base closer to the gingival environment and makes chromatic integration easier with gingival acrylic resins.
This step is particularly useful on visible areas or cases where the aesthetic result must remain clean, uniform and natural despite the presence of a metal framework.
Thin brush application on prepared metal
Bond strength and result consistency depend directly on the preparation of the metal surface. The metal must be clean, sandblasted and free from contamination before application.
Surface preparation
Uniform sandblasting creates a favourable bonding surface. After sandblasting, the piece should be handled carefully to avoid grease or moisture contamination.
Regular layer
The opaque should be applied in a thin, even layer. A layer that is too thick may complicate finishing, while an uneven layer may leave metallic areas visible.
Preparation before application
The quality of the masking depends on a clean and properly prepared metal surface.
- Clean the metal structure before sandblasting.
- Sandblast the area to be covered evenly.
- Avoid steam or air blowing after preparation if specified in the protocol.
- Use a clean mixing container for the powder / monomer mixture.
- Prepare a clean brush dedicated to opaque application.
Recommended instructions for use
Application should remain thin, regular and controlled in order to preserve the precision of the grid or metal framework.
- Prepare the metal surface: clean, dry and sandblasted.
- Mix the powder and monomer in a clean container.
- Apply the opaque with a brush in a thin layer.
- Allow it to self-cure without firing according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
- Check the masking effect and the uniformity of the pink shade.
- Then cover with gingival acrylic resin.
Achieving uniform masking
The result depends on layer consistency and proper surface preparation.
- Apply a thin layer rather than overloading the surface.
- Spread the opaque evenly over the metal areas.
- Avoid build-up inside perforations or relief areas of the grid.
- Check that no metal remains visible after curing.
- Apply a second local correction only if necessary.
Preserving metal-acrylic bonding
The surface must remain clean between sandblasting, opaque application and acrylic resin placement.
- Handle the piece with clean instruments.
- Limit finger contact after sandblasting.
- Avoid moisture or surface contamination.
- Respect the setting time before coverage.
- Apply the acrylic resin only when the opaque is dry and stable.

FAQ – Ruthinium Pink Opaque
Does Ruthinium Pink Opaque polymerise without an oven?
Yes, Ruthinium Pink Opaque is self-curing. It does not require oven firing when prepared and applied according to the indicated protocol.
This no-firing setting simplifies laboratory work, especially for local corrections or thin applications on a stellite grid before coverage with gingival acrylic resin.
Can acrylic resin be applied over it?
Yes, once the opaque is dry and polymerised, it can be covered with gingival acrylic resin compatible with the laboratory protocol.
It is important to check the uniformity of the layer, the absence of contaminated areas and the proper masking of the metal before applying the resin, in order to achieve a more aesthetic and durable finish.
Why sandblast the metal before application?
Sandblasting prepares the metal surface and promotes mechanical retention of the opaque. A surface that is too smooth, greasy or contaminated can reduce adhesion and create areas of detachment.
After sandblasting, the piece should be handled cleanly and contamination should be limited. Respecting this step improves the metal-acrylic bond and the consistency of the final result.
What thickness should be applied on a stellite grid?
The application should remain thin and even. The aim is to mask the grey metal shade without creating excess thickness that could interfere with finishing or excessively fill open areas of the grid.
A well-spread thin layer generally offers better readability, better control and a cleaner finish. Local corrections should be limited to areas where metal remains visible after curing.
What is the purpose of the pink shade?
The pink shade creates a base closer to the gingival environment and reduces the grey effect of metal under the acrylic resin.
It improves the chromatic integration of gingival acrylic, especially in visible areas. The gingival resin applied afterwards can be customised according to the desired shade and the laboratory’s aesthetic protocol.
Should steam or an air blower be used after sandblasting?
When the product protocol recommends avoiding steam or air blowing after preparation, this should be respected in order to limit moisture, contamination or particle projection.
The most important point is to keep the surface clean, dry and prepared for application. In case of doubt, refer to the Ruthinium instructions for use provided in the product documents.
