DENTAL PIGMENTS

Ferro offers the highest purity dental pigments with a full palette of stains for dental ceramics that meet the most stringent requirements for heavy metal content and radioactivity.

dental pigments color stains
We provide a complete spectrum of ceramic dental pigments that have long been recognized in the dental industry for delivering aesthetic excellence through their ability to closely mimic the shades and textures of a natural tooth,  even after repeated firing. 

The chromaticity offered by our dental pigments provides extremely high flexibility in dental ceramic coloring.  To achieve a natural appearance in dental ceramics, Ferro dental pigments cover a complete spectrum from opaque to transparent in different color intensities and shades that include yellow via brown, pink, and blue.

Color strength can be customized by adjusting the quantity of pigment used enabling a full color space.
Ferro offers the highest purity dental pigments

OUTSTANDING PIGMENT PURITY

All of our dental ceramic pigment products have been developed specifically to fulfill the highest purity, color, aesthetics, and biocompatibility standards required for use in dental ceramic applications.

Ferro's dental pigment manufacturing processes ensures the highest quality by using raw materials of extremely high purity along with chemically precipitated ZrO2, instead of traditional baddeleyite.

Our zircon-based dental pigments show greatly reduced radioactivity with an order of magnitude lower than natural zircon raw materials. In addition, only high purity silica is added as an adjustment material to avoid any contamination.  

DENTAL PIGMENT PROPERTIES

  • Cadmium-free with an aggregate heavy metals content (Pb, Cd, As, Sb) of less than 300 ppm. 
  • Sieve residue of less than 1% on a 45 µm sieve.
  • Zircon stain particle size distribution:  d50 values of about 10 µm; d90 values of about 15 µm.
